💭 + her parents

𝓗𝓮𝓪𝓭𝓬𝓪𝓷𝓸𝓷𝓼 — send 💭 + a topic to receive a headcanon about said topic.

Katherine had a complicated relationship with her parents. Growing up in the late 1400's there wasn't much she could do about it either. (At least not as a woman)

Katerina Katherine's father was a horrible man, he was a drunkard and abusive both physically and mentally towards her and her mother and sister. He rarely addressed any of them by name, his wife was most often just called "Woman" and his daughters were just "Girl" because they were not really people to him. (Even if he didn't realize that was essentially what that was.)

He was incredibly judgemental all across the board and highly misogynistic. It all got worse when he was drunk. He'd find any reason to yell at them, throw things, push them around. As much as she wanted to, Katerina's Katherine's mother couldn't protect the girls. It would only get worse when she tried to sooth him, and eventually Katherine just asked her mother to stop. Heartbreakingly enough she was 9 when that took place. Katherine was fighting for her survival from a very young age, that did not show up over night in 1492. Katherine has been in a state of fight or flight since she was a very small child.

Things only got worse when Katherine met a young man of the traveler subclass. Her father lost his shit and forbayed her from seeing him. Screamed at her about how she was to have nothing to do with anyone of the traveler sort and to stay far away from the devil's craft. Unfortunately he could not stop him from seeking out his daughter, and he was just the sort of charming to sweep her off her feet. Just as Katherine's father had been to her mother. (we accept the love with think we deserve- so good going daddy dearest)

That wolf in sheeps clothing manipulated her just like her father and ultimately was how she ended up unwed with child- and her father sending her into exile after disgracing the family.

On the other hand, Katerina's Katherine's relationship with her mother was much different. Her mother was her hero, her favourite person in the whole world. She loved her mother with all of her heart and her mother loved her much the same. It's actually her mother who taught her how to love so deeply and fully. She raised her on fairy tales of romances that transcend time, and endless love.

Her mother taught her to sing, her mother taught her to cook, her mother taught her how to sew and mend her clothing, and in some ways her mother taught her how to endure red flags for the sake of 'love'.

Katherine's mother was the most important person in the world to her. Being sent into exile was heart breaking for both of them, but her mother sent her away with a ring that she'd always intended to pass onto her first born daughter. A family heirloom, a ring with a tiny sapphire gem stone. It is the one thing Katherine has consistently kept all 500 years in her running, the one thing shes never lost.

Finding her mother slaughtered by Klaus was possibly the most traumatic experience of her life, and one of the biggest guilts shes carried on her shoulders for centuries. She still has nightmares about it. Sometimes, she cries in her sleep, and if you listen closely you can make out her whimpers to occasionally be 'мамо моля те! Мамо, съжалявам!' Elijah has heard this several times, and Stefan has as well, but Stefan doesn't speak Bulgarian so there's no way he would know.

If you ask Katherine "If you could bring back one person from the dead for 24 hours to see and talk to who would it be?" Her answer would always be "мама."

Essence of Elegance: Top 6 Fragrances Featuring the Exotic Allure of Nagarmotha

Embarking on a sensory journey with Nagarmotha has been nothing short of a revelation for me. This exotic note, with its deep, earthy resonance and a whisper of smoky mystery, has always intrigued my olfactory senses. My fascination with this rich, woody essence, also known as Cypriol, stems from its unparalleled ability to add depth and intrigue to a fragrance. Having explored countless scents, the ones that truly resonate with me are those that skillfully embrace Nagarmotha's complex character. It's a scent that speaks of ancient traditions, of the rich, aromatic heritage of India, yet fits so effortlessly into the tapestry of modern perfumery. Here, I share with you my personal top 6 picks of fragrances where Nagarmotha shines the brightest, each one a testament to the captivating allure this note brings to the table. These are the scents that have enchanted me, each telling a story that transports and transforms, leaving an indelible mark on my scent journey. 1. Promise by Frederic Malle: A Bold Discovery Crafted by the legendary Dominique Ropion, Promise by Frederic Malle stands as a beacon of strength in my fragrance collection. Its opening notes of apple, pink pepper, and rosemary set a unique stage, leading into a heart of Bulgarian and Turkish rose, intertwined with the warmth of clove. However, the true soul of this fragrance lies in its base: a robust blend of Nagarmotha, patchouli, castoreum, labdanum, and ambroxan. My encounter with Promise was serendipitous—a blind buy that veered away from expectations. The apple note, persisting throughout, offered a tartness that was refreshingly distinct from the sweetness one might find in fragrances like YSL's Y, Hugo Boss, or PDM Layton. It's the cypriol that commands this composition, lending Promise its formidable character. 2. Annone by Pantheon Roma: A Majestic Tribute Annone by Pantheon Roma, with Arturetto Landi at the helm of its creation, it's a historical homage that captivates and commands attention. Its composition begins with an opulent blend of saffron, mango, and bergamot, which then unfolds into a heart of rose and iris. The foundation is a rich tapestry of Oud, Nagarmotha, and musk, creating a scent as memorable as its namesake. The fragrance draws inspiration from the white elephant Annone, a gift from the Portuguese king to Pope Leo X, and a figure of extraordinary intelligence and admiration in the papal court of Rome. Like Annone, who captivated the city with his majestic presence, this fragrance stands out for its bold character and complexity. The dominant saffron note, intertwined with the sweetness of the other components, creates a scent that is both sweet and opulent, leaving a lasting impression. 3. Blue Heart by Thameen: A Fresh Take on Amber with Coconut Inspired by the extraordinary Blue Heart Diamond, transcends mere olfactory pleasure to embody the allure and mystique of one of the world's rarest gems. This Extrait de Parfum melds the opulence of saffron and the unexpected twist of dry coconut at its top, leading to a heart richly woven with orris root, vanilla, and tonka bean—each element capturing the diamond's multifaceted brilliance. The base of Nagarmotha, amber, and white musk grounds the fragrance with a warm, enduring trail, echoing the deep contrasts and radiant warmth of the diamond itself. Unlike typical tropical scents dominated by sweet, creamy coconut, Blue Heart presents a fresher, more nuanced interpretation. The coconut here is restrained, allowing the spicy notes of saffron and the earthy tones of Nagarmotha to enhance its sophistication and appeal. This composition makes Blue Heart a uniquely appealing choice for those seeking a fragrance that is both distinctive and elegantly balanced, much like the precious gemstone it seeks to olfactory represent. 4. Shem by Nishane: A Complex Blend of Tradition and Modernity Shem by Nishane, crafted by Lucas Sieuzac and launched in 2021, is a treasure among fragrances, available in only a select few North American stores. This rarity underscores its unique position in the world of perfumery as it bridges Ambery tradition with modern florals. The fragrance begins with an arresting blend of Turkish Rose, Geranium, and Cardamom—each note brightly heralding its floral and spicy credentials. As it unfolds, the heart of the fragrance presents a rich tapestry of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Osmanthus, and Amber, with Nagarmotha lending a crisp, menthol-like freshness that slices through the warm amber and gentle osmanthus. The base of the scent is both robust and intricate, featuring Leather, Vetiver, and Elemi that contribute an earthy, raw leather nuance, enhancing its depth over time. My initial skepticism towards this Turkish brand quickly dissolved upon first smell, captivated by the profound complexity and smooth transitions of Shem's composition. 5. Narcotica by Narcotica: A Bold and Addictive Woody Spicy Fragrance Narcotica by Narcotica, created by Claude Dir, is a Woody Spicy fragrance that evokes the mysterious allure of a dark, foggy forest, reminiscent of scenes from the "Twilight" saga set in the lush wilderness of the Seattle area. This fragrance opens with top notes of Cypress, Sugar, and Black Pepper, providing a sharp yet sweet introduction that immediately captivates. It progresses into a complex heart of cannabis, patchouli, Nagarmotha, Tahitian Vetiver, and Pimento Seeds, each contributing to a green, earthy depth with spicy nuances. The base of Oud, Sandalwood, Amber, Cashmere Wood, and Musk envelops the wearer in a rich, seductive finish. 6 . Santal Boisé by Versace: A Bold Statement with Smoky Sandalwood Santal Boisé's signature lies in its deep, smoky wood essence, akin to the residual aroma of a bonfire, which may be quite pronounced for those sensitive to robust scents. Often compared to smoke-infused clothing that retains the scent of a bonfire, it provides a distinct olfactory experience that remains consistent over time. As a luxury fragrance, it commands a high-end price point and is best suited for connoisseurs who value a powerful, lasting perfume that boldly asserts itself. Prospective buyers are encouraged to sample Santal Boisé prior to purchase to ensure it aligns with their scent preferences, given its potent and enduring profile. Conclusion These six fragrances, each uniquely showcasing the exotic allure of Nagarmotha, offer a diverse palette of olfactory experiences that range from the deep, smoky notes of Santal Boisé to the fresh and nuanced interpretation of coconut in Blue Heart. Whether you are drawn to the bold complexity of Narcotica, the historical depth of Annone, the rare elegance of Shem, or the assertive charm of Promise, there is a scent to match every preference and occasion. These selections not only highlight the versatility of Nagarmotha but also celebrate its rich, aromatic heritage that enhances modern perfumery. As you explore these fragrances, each one invites you to a unique sensory journey, promising to leave a lasting impression on your fragrance collection. Hope you enjoy it, stay fragrant!

Scents of the Season: Winter Edition

Winter is upon us and having a new perfume, or two, in your arsenal is a great way to add to your wardrobe this season. The amazing thing about fragrances is that they differ based on individual body chemistry. Each bottle is unique because the same perfume might smell completely different from person to person.

Perfume connoisseurs know that choosing a perfume is beautifully intimate. When choosing a new scent remember that top, base and medium notes will all present differently over time; don’t sleep on a new fragrance just because of one ingredient. Top notes are light scents that you typically smell first. Base notes are usually stronger with a bold feel that lingers after application. Medium notes are the notes that bring everything together. Knowing the notes and how they develop is a great guide, but don’t be afraid to shake things up this holiday season.

Byredo–Tobacco Mandarin

Byredo founder Ben Gorham launched the brand in Sweden in 2006. Looking to render memories into scents, the brand has mastered the craft of iconic perfumes. The newest scent is a contrasting blend of citrus and spice; the bottle itself makes this new fragrance to-die-for. Top notes of mandarin, coriander and cumin opening to heart notes of creamy leather and smoky tobacco on top of base notes of oud and sandalwood render this earthy fragrance a must-have for your winter 2020 perfume collection. 

Calvin Klein–Deep Euphoria

Love Calvin Klein’s classic fragrances? The newest gem in the Euphoria crown is Deep Euphoria; part of Calvin Klein’s award-winning fragrance line launched in 2005. Dark purple packaging with light accents gives the perfume a mysterious feel that blurs the lines between fantasy and reality and day and night. Notes of rose, musk, mandarin leaf, pepper, patchouli and white peony give the fragrance a slightly younger feel than its earlier predecessors. The brand describes the newest fragrance in terms of the powerful women they crafted it for, “Calvin Klein women are confident, provocative and released, and Deep Euphoria woman embodies all these aspects with an additional layer of adventure.”

D.S. & Durga–Notorious Oud

Want to switch up your signature scent but want it to still smell like you? If your favorite perfume is oud based, then look no further than this sensual new fragrance. Classic oud is taking a new form in  D.S. & Durga’s ‘Notorious Oud’ eau de parfum. Made in Brooklyn, New York, this fragrance is incredibly international with notes of North African papyrus, Indonesian oud, Afghan saffron and Bulgarian rose. Top notes of saffron and white galbanum open to middle notes of oud and rose, with base notes of papyrus making this perfume a vacation in a bottle.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian–Oud Extrait de Parfum

This rich perfume is an exotic journey with spicy, vanilla and musky accords. An unconventional blend of precious natural ingredients with top notes of saffron, a heart of musky vanilla and a base of Laotian oud and Indonesian patchouli. These international ingredients are rare and highly coveted giving this spicy and rich oud-based fragrance high longevity and serious mystery.

Lancome–Idôle 

Winter fragrances don’t have to be deep and woodsy. Lancome’s new Idôle fragrance is sophisticated yet fresh and modern. Key notes of jasmine, rose, citrus and white musk are layered over a vanilla base. This floral scent is made from sustainably and ethically sourced ingredients, so it is an indulgence perfume aficionados can feel good about. Another signature feature of Idôle is that Lancome has invented the world’s thinnest fragrance bottle.

Tom Ford– Bitter Peach

It is hard to rank Tom Ford perfumes because they continue to outdo themselves. Exotic fruits, intoxicating florals and a fun vintage colored glass bottle. Bitter Peach is no exception to what is becoming the Tom Ford Fragrance rule – exceptional quality and unique scents that make heads turn. Not your typical winter scent, this fruity-floral fragrance has key notes of peach, davana and patchouli. Tom Ford describes the fragrance as, “Explicitly sweet and dangerously voluptuous, Bitter Peach surges with dark, skin-gripping sensuality. Like the full-flavored fruit at its most ripe, the scent is erotic by nature.”

Първи опит, за собственоръчна изработка, на амулет от кварц.

АМУЛЕТИ

"Амулетите и кристалите са будните сред спящи. Те ни пазят и помагат, когато ние сами не можем." мъдрост от вековете.

От векове амулетите, талисманите и минералите вършат чудеса. В ръцете на своя собственик те могат да оказват мощно положително въздействие върху психическото му състояние, подпомагайки разрешаването на различни проблеми. Всеки знак представлява фокусирани знания, преобразувани в енергия през вековете на човешкото развитие. Във Варненското съкровище датирано 6000 г. пр. н. е. има украшения, очевидно ползвани като амулети. Намерените артефакти от епохата на неолита са именно амулети. Сами по себе си амулетите, и кристалите са пасивна защита. Съчетанието на мисловната енергия на човека с амулета или кристала има мощно положително въздействие.
