Osang

CONCEPT

OSANG is inspired by this extraordinary annual miracle, a scent of viscous beauty, blood rising, shifting from inertia to bubbling resurrection.

A miracle of love. A perfumed celebration of saints and superstitions, centred around a ravenous fenugreek absolute note lavished with singed pyrazines, sacrificial myrrh and mournful molten honey poured over everything like amber rain. Meadow blooms, sticky dark resins, pungent balms and ashen clouds of iris swirl like dramatic weather.

The miracle slowly unfolds from sunlit flowers through a sea of honey and glorious fenugreek, stirring our hunger into clouds of swirling darkness, golden hope and cindered skies. A perfume of darkness;

Naples is urbs sanguinum, City of Blood, protected by patron saint San Gennaro.

Three times a year his dried blood is presented to the people, hungry for love and miracles.

If this holy treasure liquefies all will be well with Naples.

If not, the earth will shake, skies blacken…misfortune might descend.

This supernatural and holy liquefaction is a talisman of metamorphosis and protection.
