Summer Unleashed started as a summer collection.
Somewhere along the way, it became something else.
Blackwater became:
Wood becomes water.
Trees fall.
Leaves decompose.
The river turns black.
Twilight Fougère became:
Forest becomes night.
The last light fades.
Fog rises from warmed earth.
The woods grow quiet.
And now the third is coming:
Earth becomes air.
The moment stone breaks.
Dust rises.
The ground opens and becomes atmosphere.
Maybe that's what alchemy really is.
Watching one thing become another.
I didn't set out to build Summer Unleashed around transformation.
It just happened.
Maybe that's because transformation has been on my mind for a while.
The fragrances changed.
The brand changed.
I changed.
Maybe everything is becoming something else.
Funny how that works.
