FragranceCasting Shadows by Solstice Scents is a fragrance for women and men. The nose behind this fragrance is Angela St.John. The fragrance features Incense, Smoke, Vanilla, Amber, Red Maple, Sandalwood, Spices, Floral Notes and Agarwood (Oud). Casting Shadows showcases a generous dose of golden amber along with a nag champa incense accord, a touch of dried sugar maple leaves and distant wood smoke to represent shadows. Casting Shadows is a cloaked mystery paired with somber stillness in the hours after midnight. The swirl of amber, leaves and incense balance on the edge of a fall night, just on the cusp of winter. Dominant notes of amber and nag champa. The nag champa accord is saturated with sustainably harvested sandalwood essential oil. The fragile crunchy sugar maple leaves crumble in your hands. They are softly present at initial application and will fade below the amber and incense as the perfume wears. The wood smoke is very soft and weaves seamlessly with the incense smoke to become almost indistinguishable. This unisex fragrance is recommended for lovers of amber and incense perfumes. The amber is rich and full bodied, with a pleasant sweetness, a little resin, and no powdery notes. The most restrained spice, floral, oud, and vanilla nuances are added to the generous amount of sandalwood in the nag champa accord. (From the brand's website.)Available as a 60 ml Eau de Parfum spray and as a 5 ml perfume oil rollerball.
