Spool, the fragrance, is available in limited quantities, directly from Angel Paradise at the link above.

“The composition reminds me of being in the forest up in the mountains. Those trees invited me to start the journey of releasing my old life by surrounding me as tall guardians weighing (me) gentle from side to side. A mystical but safe environment.

Tree oils build the foundation of Spool – Another basis of Spool is the essential oil of Vetiver (Vetiveria zizanoides), a deep rooted, perennial bunchgrass, which essence shifted my perspective on life. Personally significant, as this particular Vetiver originates from West Africa – my ancestors’ homeland.”

The fragrance Spool combines essential oils that were significant in the artist’s past in one way or another. Angel paired them with the oils of the alpine trees, providing safety in uncertain times. The perfume is a tribute to the transformation from old to new.

Vetiver’s scent is complex and multifaceted, like the many layers of soil through which the plant spreads its deep roots: smelling of minerals, moist soil, mushrooms and the mysterious nature of mother earth. Providing a grounding effect.
