Title: Janus Eau de Parfum

Tagline: A perfume about perspective.

Standout Review: "[A] vetiver for now, friends […] it extends its hand, TO EVERYONE […] very very delicious." — Kashina, author of East of Borneo: A Scent Journal, via Instagram

Tiny Intro: Fluorescent Vetiver Kaleidoscope.

Story Blurb: A vetiver lover's vetiver fragrance that embraces the material's wondrous, contradictory aspects — metallic, soft, gruff, floral, rooty, green, grassy, oceanic — so that their scents shine in unison like the many-faced god this perfume shares its name with.

Scent Notes: Fireworks, Cucumber, Marjoram, Metallic Notes, Violet Leaf, Magnolia, Ocean Air, Geranium, Petrichor, Galbanum, Ruh Khus (Copper-Distilled Vetiver)

Feeling / Mood: Easygoing, Knowing, & Self-Assured — like learning something that blows your mind & not feeling a need to brag about it. Or like realizing that you're all grown up now and that, well, now that you're thinking about it, you're actually doing…pretty great, really…yeah, everything's been really great lately.

Projection / Wear Style: Gender-full, as opposed to unisex — Janus undergoes a gradient-like evolution from a gruffer, darker, more metallic, and woody perfume into a lightly salinic, more ozonic, and soft floral perfume over its wear time. That's part of why it's named Janus. Moderate to high-moderate projection.

PS: Store Janus EdP in the fridge and spray it on chilled for the most aromatically delightful experience.

Customer Reviews:

"worth 👏 the 👏 wait 👏 […] my GOSH it's a stunner. Starts out strong and smoky, like the lit end of a pipe, but as it settles down you get this lovely cooling cucumber and soft, petal like florals that really balances the smoke. The vetiver is prominent, smoky, and is everything I love about it when used in perfumery." — @azurfrost, via Instagram

"This one shows vetiver in all of its facets: electric, rooty, smoky. A glint of metal and something watery, like it remembers where it was grown. True to its name, a neon shapeshifter."
