Single Note: Sampaguita

Recommended Posts

In order to help alleviate the suffering caused by Typhoon Haiyan, Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab is releasing Single Note: Sampaguita a month early. Proceeds from the sale of every single bottle will go to support local recovery efforts through Community and Family Services International and the Philippine Red Cross.

 

SINGLE NOTE: SAMPAGUITA

Little sampaguita

With the wondering eye

Did a tiny fair

Drop you where you lie?

In the witching hour

Of the tropic night

Did the careless moonbeam

Leave you in its fight?

- Natividad Marquez (Ana Maria Chavez)

 

A symbol of purity, strength, and humility, sampaguita is the national flower of the Philippines, my mother’s homeland.

 

Heady, yet cool and slightly green: jasmine sambac with a hint of tea leaf.
