Today I remembered my love, my sorrow, my final tomorrow. I feel the coldest kiss and I receive flowers for the first time. I see the same marble I made wishes to as a child enclosing my deepest wish today. From my rotting body flowers shall grow, and I am in them, and that will be eternity.

And these flowers, hopefully, will be given to loved ones sooner than they were to me. My children will not tremble like I did, as theirs won’t hold the thorn’s sharp touch. They will dream of the floating petals, soft and bright. Of the meadows beyond the dark hills and of the flowing waters that save any withering spirit. They will dream.

You’ve coloured my life, and every gradient was worth it. We will sit again together one day, when neither of us will be willing to run.

Snakefruit, genmaicha, and azalea after rain — gothic, eerie, and strangely beautiful.

Editor's Notes

My Past Selves’ Flowers continues the story of Empty Wishes Well. After the rainstorm, flowers have begun to poke through the upturned earth. Immediately setting the scene for an olfactory contrast, this tension between old soil and verdant new growth creates a striking atmosphere - gothic, eerie, ozonic, and cool - but also tropical, sweet, sticky, and nutty. Flowering buds mingle indiscriminately with wilt and decay, and parched earth is moistened with rainwater: peony vies with tobacco. A slight metallic feeling adds to this realism, like condensation on a waterpipe. Roasted rice tea reinforces the dry yet herbal impression of this fragrance. Here floral ingredients bring the suggestion of dust, dryness, and bitterness forward - draped in incense resins and oud. As is typical of the Toskovat’ style, this fragrance follows a long development, where every impression oscillates with energy so that they tantalise - drawing us in as one note expands into many.
