PETAL FETISH

| A SULTRY SURRENDER | 2023

A story upon the skin

of roses lingering last

in the hot hour of an August afternoon

as the fields become dry

and the seeds fall to the night

An unfoldment of red wine

sipped slowly,

caressing the senses with soft plums,

tannin, wood, and jammy preserves.

All is better felt with the eyes closed.

Barely there swirls of fine leather,

dry subtle spice and sweet juices

awaken the subconscious appetite

for romance and closeness.

As the land celebrates wildflowers

in every imaginable color,

nostalgia and sustenance

reverberate.

The freshly hung tobacco is seen

peeking through

the red wood panels

of the countryside.

There is a comfort in change

as it is laced with the familiar.

Style: juicy floral amber

Strength: pure perfume extrait

Prominent Notes:

Oranges

Blonde Tobacco - jammy

Roses (damascena, otto + absolutes)

Orange blossom, Morroco + Tunisia

Carnation absolute

Amber accord

Orris root co2 extract

Mehndi attar

The Personal, The Process, The Gathered

Petal Fetish is an update re-work of my 2014 composition Nicotiana Rose. I wanted to bring this favorite back, while giving it more depth, complexity, roundness, and sultry facets, and still keep the integrity of the original which hinged on the balance of jams and leathers.

The updated 2023 batch includes a chocolatey nuanced extraction of true orris roots, which add a timeless feeling and extended longevity, along with a je ne sais quoi that only orris can provide.

The opening is deeply juicy, with fresh, ripe oranges, not unlike a messy bite into dripping fruit on a summer day. Abundant, mouth watering, primal. As it unfolds on the skin it maintains a sophisticated ambery sweetness that gives structure to the floral bouquet and jammy, leathery tobacco notes. Woven into the wear, you might find woods, sweet waxy facets, mineral hints, and steeped tea with honey. You might notice the higher notes of fresh rose petals underneath the fruits, or the neroli blossom floating on the vanilla, or the musky pull of sandalwood underneath the labdanum.
