House of Matriarch Review - Blackbird & Forbidden

The natural perfume obsession ... I have it and once you try House of Matriarch you just might have it too!  The scents of natural perfumer, Christi Meshell have put me into an altered state and the House of Matriarch has cast its spell!

I had the opportunity to try two perfumes from the House - Blackbird and Forbidden.


Blackbird is mysterious, dark and romantic.  It reminds me of running through the woods in the summertime, barefoot and mindful ... fully present and delightfully taking in the sensual experience. 


A deep green, nearly black perfume elixir, Blackbird has an immediate transformative effect on me.  It takes me to a place I'd been yearning for ... a deeper, darker, more earthy realm, a place where the guardians of the mysteries of the earth dwell, beckoning me to be a student of the wise woman ways

Blackbird has subtle notes of the muddy earth within a potion of evergreen, patchouli, cannibus, leather and many other aromatics ...  with a hint of the sensuous seductive qualities of the potion soaked in lace before bottled ... dare I wear such a powerful scent out ... I dare!  Blackbird reminds me of music festivals, of dirt and sweat and wild rock and roll, filthy debauchery ... though pure and clean in essence - wild and free!

Created with over one hundred ingredients, this is one potion that will be hard to recreate.  A complex design that includes  many exotic aromatics, including leather, seaweed, conifer, animal fixatives and cannibus.  

It has many heart notes and base notes with few top notes, so the initial scent impression is not sharp, rather comfortable, relaxed and deeply penetrating.  It lasts a long time and one application will be detectable on the clothing for over 24 hours.

FORBIDDEN from the House of Matriarch put me into a romantic and creative mood.  A blend of ingredients so powerful they have been greatly feared historically and some even outlawed.  Damiana, absinthe, tuberose, wild shrooms and cypriol (nut grass in English) work together to create a powerful and lasting aromatic potion that is an initiation into the rebellious forces of nature.  They beckon you to join them!  Woodsy, sexy and truly one of a kind, this unisex perfume will seduce you into the world of the forbidden kingdom, unlocking the powerful hidden aspects within yourself.
