This fragrance is strictly intended for oudh aficionados and will not appeal to many others. It is a deeply complex, challenging, ancient, earthly scent. The fragrance is NOT beastly nor typical of hugely potent Arab-styled mukhallats, it is a soft, delicate leather such as deerskin, gently suffused with herbs and wildflowers.Sliabh na Cailli is Irish (pronounced Slee-av na Kay-lee), and is the name of a range of hills and ancient burial sites near Oldcastle, County Meath, Ireland. It means the Hills of the Witch.Sliabh na Cailli (the perfume) was inspired by a very wet dawn visit on Spring Equinox to the megalithic cairn at Loughcrew at Oldcastle in 2005. Its composition is an aromatic ode to the ancient landscape and the people who lived and flourished there over 5000 years ago.The perfume weaves a tale of endless rain falling on the cold earth and stones, of wet grass, peat and wild herbs.It carries a lingering trail of smoke and ash from fire-pits long gone, and the raw truth of close bodies wrapped in skins and furs. It speaks of tough human survival through the mists of time. A fragrance that touches something very deep within.This deep earth scent is summoned from an ancient, secret chamber whose stone carvings speak of the seasons, and the eternally moving wheel of stars overhead.
