Description Aimless twenty-somethings Calvin and Millie didn't mean to drop off the face of the earth but when they stumbled onto an abandoned mansion while hiking in the Adirondacks, that's just what they did. Lounging in the autumn light and lost among the stacks of paperbacks they decided to weather the winter in their found fortress. Spring brought hordes of wildlife, both indoors and out, but no sign of other humans (other than the one growing in Millie's belly). It would be another four years before the burgeoning family would be forced out of their assumed home but they don't plan to leave without putting up a fight.

I mostly get dusty old books and dry cedar, and the quince adds this faint fruitiness that keeps it from smelling like a basement. The oakmoss and ambreine give it a resinous, lived-in warmth that lasts a good six hours on my skin. Perfect for grey afternoons when I want something moody but still we

The quince up top keeps this from being just another dark woody scent, and the oakmoss drydown smells like an actual old library. Wore it to dinner and got asked twice what it was.
