Boxwalla The Perfumer Series Featuring Sigil Scent

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Boxwalla enthusiasts know that Boxwalla's green beauty boxes are an extraordinary value, and that the products themselves are nothing short of spectacular. Their carefully curated beauty boxes are a tremendous value, with steep discounts, and they feature truly covet-worthy luxury organic beauty products. Therefore, I am so excited to let you know that Boxwalla has launched The Perfumer Series. This is a limited edition, one-time purchase, separate from the Beauty subscription.

According to Boxwalla,

Perfume, Latin for 'through smoke', is such a personal, intimate luxury: both a bridge and an armor and whatever else you want it to be; a beauty product as well as wearable art and a form of expression. We wanted to include both the personal & universal nature of perfume into a scent experience. A scent experience consisting of two boxes that is now available on our website.

This scent experience showcases the uber talented perfumer Patrick Kelly, creator of Sigil Scent. Patrick creates both mystical and modern olfactory vignettes from all natural raw materials: essential oils, absolutes, CO2 extracts, house-made tinctures all blended in certified organic sugarcane alcohol. They are also cruelty free and vegan.

This Scent Experience that we have curated will consist of TWO PHASES:

Phase 1: Customers will receive 4, 2ml spray samples, in a small Boxwalla box. The scents are: Anima Mundi, Prima Materia, Amor Fati and Solutio.

After up to four weeks of testing (which will be accompanied by conversations and posts from Boxwalla and Patrick about the various nuances of the different scents and about perfume in general), customers can email Boxwalla (with the subject: Sigil Scent Choice) with their choice of full bottle. There will also be more information about testing perfume and about each scent on the accompanying insert.

Phase 2: Full Bottle of their choice will be shipped to them from Sigil Scent. The perfume box ($84.95) includes 4 samples & 1 full bottle, shipped as two distinct phases. Retail Value of the four samples and full bottle is $170. Ships Free.

In the first phase, you will receive all 4, 2ml spray samples from Sigil Scent: the effervescent, refreshing Solutio, the heady, woody floral Anima Mundi, the grounding, resinous Amor Fati and the green, mossy Prima Materia. These samples will be housed in a Boxwalla box along with an insert. On social media, Patrick Kelly, the perfumer, and I will be talking at length about each perfume, discussing the nuances, the notes, and you are welcome to 'sniff' with us, take notes as you explore these four gorgeous perfumes. We will also be sending out perfume-related newsletters. Once you decide which one is Full Bottle Worthy to you, you move to Phase 2. You have upto 4 weeks to decide.

Once you decide based on testing the samples, which bottle you would like, you can email Boxwalla at contact@theboxwalla.com with your choice of full bottle. Use the subject: Sigil Scent Choice. And voila, a full bottle will be shipped to you from Sigil Scent.

Sigil Scents Featured: 

The heady, woody floral Anima Mundi
The green, mossy Prima Materia
The effervescent, refreshing Solutio

The grounding, resinous Amor Fati 

Each one of the scents is indescribably complex and nuanced. They have impressive longevity, they are made with healthy ingredients and are 100% cruelty-free. Each of these brilliantly articulated perfumes must be worn and tested since your preferred key notes and your body chemistry will undoubtedly dictate your ultimate full bottle choice. Furthermore, each of the four perfumes has such a distinctive character that there is no way to compare them to one another without doing a tremendous injustice to each of these masterful creations. This is the brilliance and wisdom with this box, you get to live with each of the perfumes for long enough to know them intimately, and to understand the extent to which they transform when commingled with your particular chemistry, and the way in which they transform once they dry down.

Sigil Anima Mundi: "Anima mundi or “world soul” represents the intrinsic spirit that connects all living things on the planet—a spirit that exists beyond our consciousness yet is present within each of us. Embodying the vital force of our universe, Anima Mundi balances masculine animus and feminine anima. Like petals floating through curls of smoke, luscious notes of rose and creamy jasmine mingle with spicy hinoki wood. The scent’s intoxicating essence shifts from moment to moment, revealing fragrant notes of tuberose and the candied smokiness of pure immortelle."

Key notes: Immortelle, hinoki, rose, jasmine

Ingredients: organic cane alcohol, fragrance (organic and wildcrafted essential oils, absolutes, co2 extracts, and tinctures)

Sigil Prima Materia: "In ancient times, prima materia referred to the formless root of all matter—a blend of stars and soil from which all things emerge, and an essential component in the alchemy of turning base materials into gold. Uniting the earthly and the heavenly, Prima Materia is a scent rooted in soot yet elevated by sparkling notes of fresh citrus. The creamy sweetness of neroli and the cleansing power of white sage embody celestial matter, while oakmoss and woody vetiver signify the spirit of the soil. As it melts into the skin, the alchemy of the scent begins—revealing a golden, resinous heart of pure amber."

Key notes: Vetiver, Oakmoss, Neroli, White Sage

Ingredients: organic cane alcohol, fragrance (organic and wildcrafted essential oils, absolutes, co2 extracts, and tinctures)

Sigil Solutio: "Solutio is the alchemical practice of purification and dissolution—a process of coming apart that leaves behind only the true essence of what began. Distilling precious and resinous plant materials into their essential components, Solutio is a green and buoyant blend of aromatic cypriol, bracing lime, and a handmade tincture of wild chaparral that releases the mind from the trappings of the ego. Like a hot coal hitting cool water, Solutio’s effervescent spirit wraps the body and the mind in a cleansing vapor of scent."

Key notes: Cypriol, labdanum, chaparral tincture, cypress

Ingredients: organic cane alcohol, fragrance (organic and wildcrafted essential oils, absolutes, co2 extracts, and tinctures)

Sigil Amore Fati: "A philosophy beloved by ancient cultures across the globe, amor fati represents the belief that all experiences from birth until death—all the moments of bliss, suffering, and striving—are essential to the cyclical beauty of our existence. Symbolizing both the ashes of death and the new growth of birth, Amor Fati combines smoky essences of oud and opoponax with the fresh and lively scents of bergamot and green pine needles. Resinous galbanum and palo santo ground the scent with hints of sacred incense—a reminder that the spirit remains, even as the cycle of life begins and ends."

Key notes: Oud, galbanum, palo santo, opoponax

Ingredients: organic cane alcohol, fragrance (organic and wildcrafted essential oils, absolutes, co2 extracts, and tinctures)

You are welcome to ask Boxwalla or Patrick any questions about the process or the perfumes (or both) along the way. And if there are any specific topics related to perfume that you would like to explore or learn more about, just let them know!

Please Note: This experience is a limited edition one-time purchase, separate from the subscription boxes. This particular box ships only within the U.S. since it contains alcohol-based perfume. Available while supplies last.

Overall Assessment: This collaboration between Boxwalla and Sigil Scent is utterly extraordinary, and the extent to which this is a brilliant way to discover ultra-luxe handcrafted fragrances cannot be sufficiently underscored. During my scent journey through this exquisite first installment of Boxwalla's The Perfumer Series, I fell madly in love with Sigil Scent Anima Mundi and Solutio– the former is a magical amalgam of immortelle, hinoki, rose and jasmine– and it is neither too floral, nor too woodsy. Indeed, it strikes the perfect balance between these two magical realms. The latter, Solutio, is an alchemical masterpiece that coaxes the most extraordinary characteristics from the blend of cypriol, labdanum, chaparral tincture and cypress, and what emerges on my skin is a spicy citrus that is refined and altogether bewitching. This box earns an unmitigated A+
