The Scoop

It might not seem like a compliment to say that a fragrance reminds you of a rainy day, but in the case of Erdenstern, the latest all-natural stunner from April Aromatics, we mean it as high praise. Of course, we're not talking about some ordinary rainy day- Erdenstern is more like a warm, gentle rain in a mist-shrouded meadow, an earthy, musky meditation with an almost spiritual power to uplift and inspire reflection.

Erdenstern (“Earth Star”) takes its inspiration from Avalon, the Arthurian holy place between the worlds of gods and mortals, so it's only natural that the fragrance is elevated and ethereal, linking wet, earthy vetiver to a heavenly, incense-tinged botanical musk accord that melds the sensual with the spiritual. A restrained touch of sweetness from opoponax and tobacco protect against solemnity, while an unprecedented botanical ambergris accord is stunning in its delicate complexity. Tanja Bochnig has long impressed us with her gift for creating fragrances that embrace their all-natural ingredients as an asset and an identity. But as good as each and every offering from April Aromatics has been, Erdenstern, with its deep well of gentle beauty and genuine wisdom, might be her best yet.

Here's what other people are saying about Erdenstern...

At first sniff, this is high quality 100 proof whiskey! No kidding, it's the real deal. Whiskey only lasts for about 15 seconds before mellowing into a beautiful, soft, warm, comforting, slightly sweet scent. I love it. It doesn't have the longevity of bohemian spice, but it lasts long enough to enjoy. It is contemplative and calming, and unlike most things I have tried.

calling all angels was good SO good and this one is just as haunting... i love organics ... this one is a very soft whisper so if you like to be reminded not hit over the head with fragrance this is one deserves to be experienced. i am getting such a perfect blend of all i love here it is hard to describe.... i used to visit a seaside town and wander though the local woods... warm and figgy and herbal and natural .. just plain memorable. perfect for summer!

Not bad, but kind of... creamy... Iris and Tonka bean married in a bath of cream. Soft, pleasant, but not quite a candidate for my signature scent.

This fragrance is so perfect for New Year. Deep and Earthy yet uplifting I am surprised and very warmed by the botanical musks, sexy! Yes introverted, yes sexy, yes meditative/Spiritual. My other favorites from AA are Bohemian Spice and Calling All Angels.

If this is what old ladies smell like then sign me up for Friday Night Bingo. I find this to be such a deep, earthy, moody fragrance. It is perfect for these grey November days. I wouldn't wear it to a party--it's a bit introverted for that. But it's perfectly suited for a quiet Sunday afternoon. I agree that this is perhaps her best fragrance so far, and I'm a huge fan of Calling All Angels. Every time I wear it I find something new to love about it.

Just purchased a sample. After wearing a couple of times, I realized what it reminds me of - an old lady. It's comforting like that, but not really how I want to smell. The topnotes are queer, too. Probably going to pass on this one.

By Elle - Photographer from San Francisco on 9/8/2015

This heavenly scent feels very good being natural + I think satisfies any gender. Good for office or romance :)

By Delia - Retired in Hawaii from Pahoa on 4/24/2015

The dry down of this is stellar, and lasts and lasts. I own so many lovely and critically acclaimed scents that I don't enjoy smelling on fabrics the next day - they're just OFF by then. Perhaps it's because it's all natural, but Erdenstern stays a delight. This price is insane for 30mL, and I just might be insane enough to pull the trigger.

By Laura on 3/12/2015

This scent is a winner. The description above is spot on. It's very light, subtle but very layered and complex. I think it works equally well for women or men. I'm sure all who notice it will be most intrigued.
