Cannabis perfumes have had their heyday, with all of their provocative power well demonstrated. BTSO interprets the note in their characteristically tongue-in-cheek fashion, attentive to the beguiling and aromatic green that makes happy, less about the deleterious and the narcotic. It is an addiction of a different sort - for icy freshness, the tangy chill engulfing a soft and gentle flame, a physical sensation of mentholated cool. Mary Jane layers many greens, such as mint, rhubarb, sage, and cannabis with the sparks of juicy grapefruit and passionfruit - notes that wish to expand, trail, and sparkle in perfumed space. Its iciness is redoubled with elemi, a powerfully green resinous note with a beguiling sharpness. Mary Jane is surprisingly salubrious in its impression, fusing herbs and resins for their health-giving effects - grounded in a fizz of pine woods, sweetened with the effective touch of caramel.

Invert the fragrance in order to perceive it more clearly, and it becomes a wood-dominant fragrance rubbed through and through with impressively natural mint notes. Cannabis adds realism and wildness to all the green - and in this regard, the note is essential, gorgeous, and unmistakable, but is also unexpectedly elegant, and not all brash or cheaply provocative - it is untouched by distractingly dense and immobilising amber synthetics. A triumph.
