The word itself derives from the Greek word "konasa" meaning to whirl about, as its effect is vertigo and death. Hemlock itself is a delicate, small white flower that grows in green grassy fields, and thus we started with this idea as the backdrop for the fragrance but added black vinyl accord to suggest a wicked black liquid. *Current packaging is depicted in second picture; bottle featured with box.
