Whether arising from mischief or malice, the calamities were undeniably linked.

Rusted iron, mandrake root, burnt vetiver, and patchouli leaves

What is it about the human heart that loves a place forsaken? In a forgotten corner of an abandoned homestead, weathered tools rest against crumbling walls, their once-gleaming surfaces now a canvas of rust and patina. Shadows pool in the pitted surface of an old axe head while a fallen hammer's handle smooths under an invisible touch. From between warped floorboards, gnarled tendrils reach upward, seekers in a realm of twilight. Their twisted forms, pale and insistent, push through layers of debris. A murky, green scent rises with them, vegetal and searching. It mingles with the musty air, a complex perfume of damp wood, old leather, and the faint memory of smoke. Dust hangs suspended in slanted beams of light; each mote a silent witness to creeping decay and desolation.

I'm a patchouli and vetiver fan, finding the scents calming. Yet, I was surprised by how pretty this is, and warm. I detect a sweetness which I think must be the rusty iron. I have fond memories of playing at my grandmother's house as a kid, where there was a rusty railing, near the flowerbeds, warmed by the hot summer sun. Weird nostalgia, but this is it. Warm and sweet, not cold and eerie as I expected. Much love.
