Designed to wear like cozy, elegant cold-weather clothing, opening is a fresh, bright pear, set against a floral woodiness that carries through the dry down.
TO GIFT A HOME(S)
The team wanted to conceive this fragrance for the holidays, a time where we return to our home(s). The magical power of perfume is its ability to bring a loved one who feels like home close to you, and to make a gift of that feeling.
The snowdrop accord was built for the perfume: snowdrop is the first flower of the year, standing for the magic of early beginnings and early-career artists.
MORRIS COLUMN CAP, EARLY CAREER ARTISTS
An important part of the fragrance is the cap, which we specifically wanted made by an early-career artist. We worked with Sophie Kamdar, a recent Columbia graduate and young ceramicist in New York. Her handmade porcelain caps take the form of the Morris columns , the iconic street columns of Paris. These mythical sculptures have carried perfume posters since the 1860s and appear throughout literature and art.
Brands and people do not exist in a vacuum, and we hope we can champion the careers, ideas, and early efforts of those around us today.
POLAROID
The fragrance comes with a set of real Polaroids from New York’s museums, capturing a work from a current exhibition.
Notes
Pear
Jasmine absolute, snowdrops
Oakmoss, Musk
