Vanitas Eau de Parfum | golden orchard fruit, leather, and amber

A candle-lit portrait of delight and shadows; golden orchard fruit, warm amber, worn leather and woods with waxen, powdery overtones.

Notes of: yesterday's fruit under flickering candlelight; cascades of wax pool and set in the ridges of a worn wooden workbench. Warm bread and wilted flowers. A gilded spread, peppered in the soot of bent and burnt wicks. Leather-bound volumes powdered with the dust of time slowly passing, laced with the perfume of imminent decay.

Vanitas, translating to “Vanity”, refers to artworks and tokens of material significance rendered futile in the world of the immaterial. Like its predecessors, the memento mori, they serve to illustrate the questionable value assigned by mankind to objects fleeting in nature, as well as to ephemeral concepts and worldly pursuits. Riches, beauty, fame, conquest, authority, and excesses of delight beyond reason; dazzling displays all for naught.

Featured ingredients–or, how the magic happens: labdanum, olibanum, benzoin tonkinese, poudre à la maréchale (orris root, styrax, orange blossom, clove), cocoa, rice absolute, beeswax, osmanthus, cedarwood, honeybush, apricot, mandarin, bitter orange, bergamot
