Mammal
Product Description
Some have never felt the sensation of intense longing and melancholic obsession. Mammal is a cypress-cherry tribute to limerence that rests on the memory of cotton sheets - a canvas to the acute longing of intense, deeply emotional longing and sometimes unrequited love.
It opens the way desire always does - a little reckless - dry champagne against the flesh of cherry... when a person becomes the only thing the mind will hold. Cinnamon warms beneath it, the quickened pulse, the heat that rises unbidden whenever they are near.
As the room empties, Frankincense drifts up like something sacred and already mourned, curling through the hush left behind. This is the heart of Mammal. What lingers is not the person but the trace of them: memory smoked into white cotton, still warm, still impossibly present with cypress pine and juniper holding the ache in place.

Mammal
The door has closed and already the room has changed shape. A moment ago it was full - now it is only air, and the smell of memory rising off the sheets like incense. Some animal part of you is still lit up - still tasting the champagne gone flat, the cherry-dark warmth and cinnamon heat that rose when they were near.
The elation has nowhere to go now and it curls into something sacred and aching - frankincense in an empty room, devotion with no one left to receive it. The silence is loud. The cushion still holds their shape. Outside, the cypress sway swallowing the sound of fading footsteps, and the stillness of the room closes over like a held breath.
So you stay. Full and hollow at once. Staring at the empty bottle, the cherry pits, the warm hollow in the cotton — already counting, without meaning to, the hours until you might feel this again.
