The pristine white of Cow celebrates musk, exploring its synergy with floral, fruity, grassy, and lactonic notes, granting this category its proper dignity. It envelops the wearer in a sedate creaminess, this spell broken with the soft acerbic bite of apple and the vernal green of lily of the valley, evoking an image of luscious pastures and blue skies. Cow stands for a comfort that is never flimsy nor lacking: the world in which Cow derives is a world under the magic spell of the imagination.
Hummingbird in contrast is a polite frenzy - an energetic bird drunk after gorging on the nectar and pollen of the most colourful fruits and flowers. The notes in this fragrance are lustrous, enriched, yet natural: bursting notes of apple, cherry, lilac, plum, rose, and peony - to name but a few - settling on a serious base of oakmoss flecked with vanilla, amber, and cream. Hummingbird is beguiling and dizzyingly joyous.
Rabbit imagines exactly the sort of birthday cake the furry creature would want: carrot cake, white frosting, and a confetti of wild flowers and grass clippings. Zoologist is here at their creative best - this one's for gourmand lovers. There is energy and excitement to this fragrance, which dries down to a floral amber.
Dragonfly is an aqueous picture: a paddy field of rustling reeds and grains that slice the air like a dragonfly’s wings. A citric burst of grapefruit quickly reveals an aromatic dance that crosses herbal, floral, milky, and spicy effects – from the snappy greens of basil, geranium, and angelica seed to the zesty fire of ginger rapidly softened by rice – a toasted grain that becomes a decadent milk, a salve that is as floral as it is nutty, the bridge leading to floral notes softened in rainwater, releasing their radiant smell in atmospheric watercolour tones as the sky bleeds into the water. Dragonfly’s floral heart is no single note in particular, but a beautiful concentration of tender effects. Soft petals in melodious combination, these come to rest on a musky base enriched with cashmeran, ensuring longevity and a modern feel.
Lovebird assembles fruits as playful and colourful as these birds. Scintillating and bold: purple blackcurrant, green kiwi, yellow passionfruit pulp, the glowing warmth of orange. The effect is uplifting; its analogue is a smile. And then the scent calms with a blend of lavender and clary sage, refreshed with natural touches of lily of the valley, ylang-ylang, and geranium, concluding on a base that crosses musks, mosses, amber, and vanilla.
Orchid Mantis is the very same sensation of walking into a humid greenhouse, where the atmosphere is warm and thick. Once the senses acclimatise to its environment, Orchid Mantis reveals luscious flowers mingling with rich and verdant vegetation - a simple contrast that gives the floral notes clearer outline, against a jungle-like background. The scent is like a paisley pattern - its retro charm is there, and in good taste. Light greens and dark ones, dew that resembles sweat in the tropical heat, an opening sequence of melting pear and snappy basil, with brightening notes of bergamot and lemon, happily slide into an exotic flower arrangement. Tender orchid flowers surrounded with rose and jasmine absolute, and twirls of ylang-ylang, resolve into a classical mossy base of patchouli, vetiver, moss, and sandalwood.
