Scent #3 Working Title "Untamed Jungle"
Batch # 3A00423 | 2 Gallons Made | Dilution: 15%
The Untamed Beauty of Scent #3
Some scents are effortless—easy, universally adored. This is not one of them.
Scent #3 is wild, unapologetic, and deeply rooted in the raw beauty of nature. It holds all the facets of flowers, not just their delicate petals but their bitter green stems, their thorns, and the damp, moss-covered earth they rise from. It’s a scent that doesn’t ask for admiration—it demands presence.
The Inspiration: A Walk Through the Canopy
This fragrance was born from my time in Costa Rica, walking across the hanging bridges suspended high in the jungle. I remember the sharp scent of crushed ferns underfoot, the thick, humid air clinging to my skin, and the electric green of the landscape—alive, pulsing. There was fear, then exhilaration, then surrender.
That same feeling is captured here: the jolt of bitter greens, the lushness of the jungle floor, and the untamed elegance of blooms in their most primal form.
The Scent Profile: A Study in Contrast
Scent #3 is verdant and bold, opening with the sharp, almost astringent snap of fig leaves and galbanum—the scent of stems just snapped, their rawness still fresh. Peony and carnation absolute weave through, not in their usual softness, but in their full, complex depth—floral, yes, but with spice, with bite.
A touch of Moroccan rose lends a whisper of sweetness, though fleeting, quickly grounded by the damp, resinous warmth of amber and sandalwood. Orris brings an earthy, powdery elegance, while vanilla smooths the edges, not in sweetness but in depth, like the lingering warmth of skin kissed by the jungle’s heat.
An Invitation to the Wild
This is not a perfume that sits quietly in the background. It is textured, unexpected—a scent for those who find beauty in contrast, in the interplay of sharp and soft, fresh and decayed, chaos and stillness. It is the moment before the storm, the pulse of green life before the bloom.
Dare to wear it!
