Mermaid's Dawn: Roll-on Fragrance
Mermaid's Dawn
A roll-on fragrance created at The Island Octopus Incensarium.
You will receive approximately 10 ml (0.34 ounces) of all natural fragrance based in singular essential oils, absolutes, and infusions blended in a jojoba carrier oil. The Island Octopus' rollerball blends are "wearable incense" versions of some of our best-selling traditional incense blends and are perfect for casual use during traveling or daily-to-day activities.
*** Fragrance description ***
Mermaid's Dawn fragrance was inspired by our all natural resin-based incense blend of the same name. Many of the ingredients are the same in both the fragrance and incense versions, with a few variations due to necessity. The original incense formula was divided into five separate perfume accords, with the ingredient ratios being altered to better fit the aqueous medium.
This perfume was brought into existence with the intent of keeping the original spirit behind our Mermaid's Dawn incense intact, and it may stray a bit from expectations when one imagines a mermaid in these modern times. This fragrance marries the mysterious depths of the ocean with the birth of the rising sun, bringing the captivating light of morning to the oceanside.
First and foremost, this is a traditional tree resin based fragrance, with Somalian Myrrh essential oil being the foundation to which all other ingredients are added. This Myrrh provides the deep and mysterious watery depths to which resinous notes such as Brue, Amyris, and others have been added. The fathoms of the deep are further impregnated with other like-minded notes which arise from the addition of Labdanum, Oakmoss, West Indian Bay, and a curious Seaweed absolute. Next, the wooden warmth of Oud melds with the exotic subterranean scents of Kava and Vetiver. As the sun's morning rays provide their warm and soothing caress across the landscape, so does the breath of exquisite Jasmine Sambac and Red Champaca flowers arise with a fleeting sensation of Grapefruit. Acting as a sort of metaphysical net which holds this perfume's various parts together are the alluring and fixative aromas of Vanilla, Coconut, and a delicious New Caledonian Sandalwood.
Recent Review:
"I'm wearing mine now! It has such a refreshing smell that makes me miss the ocean breeze! Whenever I wear it, it lasts all day and the oil is hardly noticeable on the skin once it settles. Five stars!!"

Mermaid's Dawn: Beach Sand Incense
Mermaid's Dawn
A "Beach Sand" incense blend created at The Island Octopus Incensarium.
You will receive approximately 15 grams (0.52 ounces) of all natural resin-based incense housed in an aluminum tin with an illustrated label. The Island Octopus' "Beach Sand" blends are a loose form of incense designed for easy use with electric and charcoal censers.
*** Blend description ***
Mermaid's Dawn is the newly reenvisioned blend based on the well-received incense created by Ethereal Aromas Incense Company in 2018. This incense blend was brought into existence with the intent of using the natural elemental forces of the sea-side realm to transform the land-based ingredients. The incense marries the mysterious depths of the ocean with the birth of the rising sun, bringing the captivating light of morning to the oceanside. Various ingredients were personally collected from the beaches of South Florida, including a salty and beautifully smooth Driftwood, Atrina Pen shells, and fresh ocean water from the Gulf of Mexico.
First and foremost, this is a myrrh based incense, with our personally created Sea-Kissed Somalian Myrrh being the foundation to which all other ingredients are added. This Myrrh provides the deep and mysterious watery depths to which resins such as Brue, Copal, and others have been added. The fathoms of the deep are further impregnated with other like-minded notes which arise from the addition of Labdanum, Oakmoss, West Indian Bay, and a curious Seaweed absolute. Next, the wooden warmth of Agarwood and sweet Driftwood meld with the exotic subterranean scents of Kava and Vetiver. As the sun's morning rays provide their warm and soothing caress across the landscape, so does the breath of exquisite Jasmine Sambac and Red Champaca flowers arise with a fleeting sensation of Grapefruit. Acting as a sort of metaphysical net which holds this incense's various parts together are the alluring and fixative aromas of fresh Vanilla bean, Coconut, Sandalwood and a touch of vintage Ambergris.
Mermaid's Dawn is best experienced on an electric incense heater such as the legendary Golden Lotus heater. We have found that we enjoy this most when used at a temperature of approximately 210°C and allowed to develop over the period of about 30 minutes. If more traditional methods such as using incense charcoal are preferred, we suggest letting the coal form some ash over its surface before using, or creating some sort of thin barrier between the incense and the coal. While this is not necessary, it allows for more of the subtle and delicate notes to emerge without competing directly with the smoldering resin.
