I spent months researching and connecting with a particular path of Oshun: Oshun Ibu Akuaro. The central purpose behind that journey was ultimately to create a perfume for her — something devotional, luxurious, sensual, and alive with her current.
This is what emerged from that process.
The full formula is a private recipe of mine to preserve within my work, though some of the current can be spoken of openly: watercress, damiana, fern and a composition built heavily from true absolutes and essential oils rather than synthetic fragrance structures.
Most of the ingredients I warm infused myself. The perfume itself is macerated into a blend of sweet almond oil, sunflower seed oil, and fractionated coconut oil, allowing the florals, herbs, and resins to unfold slowly and intimately on the skin.
It feels soft, seductive, golden, herbal, magnetic, and emotionally luminous in the way Oshun often arrives — beautiful, but with the deep intuitive poise of survival hidden beneath the silk.
Interestingly, the final blending was done inside an empty bottle of orange liqueur that had originally been offered to Oshun beforehand. The bottle still held the faintest trace of sweetness and citrus warmth inside it, and somehow that lingering spirit fused itself into the perfume almost accidentally, sealing the entire composition together in a way I honestly could not have planned if I tried.
Because of that, this exact version may never be perfectly recreated again.
Like many true magical perfumes, part of its spirit belongs to the moment it was born in.
