St John the Forerunner

St John the Forerunner by Phronema Perfumes is a fragrance for women and men. St John the Forerunner was launched in 2024. The nose behind this fragrance is Weston Adam. The fragrance features Myrrh, Oud, Sandalwood, Ambergris and Frankincense. This Limited Edition of 25 bottles of St. John the Forerunner is based around an accumulation of 1ml at a time of some of the best oils I have encountered over the years of composition. This accumulation was pseudo-curated - smelling at each go and deciding if the addition of whatever the 1ml of oil at the time was would contribute to this aroma. The oil was placed within a mico-batch whiskey barrel and evolved over the course of the five years that it was being added to. Finally, this oil was taken into consideration as a base, around which a 'nesting' composition was created so as to round out the edges, emphasize the beautiful elements within, and prolong certain elements over others in the course of dry-down. That brings us to today, where the fragrance was bottled on September the 23d, which is the Feast of The Conception of the Honorable Glorious Prophet, Forerunner and Baptist John, hence the title of the perfume. As an apology for the release of a limited edition perfume, which isn't something I plan to participate in (but due to the nature of this perfume as an experiment which wasn't tracked in repeatable terms) this perfume is $125.00 and will introduce us to the future line of perfumes in our new bottle design which will themselves be between the original cost of our line, and this limited edition.
