MOTH and RABBIT PERFUMES
Moth and Rabbit was born in 2016. This Maison of Contemporary Perfumery, half French and half Berlin, as its name suggests (Moth and Rabbit), uses the two symbolic animals, the first of transformation, the second of reproduction, to communicate the his intent to transform stories into perfumes.
Directed by Elke Filpes and Seong Nam Choi, the Maison MOTH and RABBIT PERFUMES has so far released eleven fragrances, five of which have been selected by Release for the launch on the Italian market: Blow Up, Mood Indigo, Duke of Burgundy, Dolls and Single Man.
The stories told focus on what surrounds us, seen through the eyes of film-makers and artists, and filtered through the sensitivity and creative flair of Mark Buxton, who designed all the brand's fragrances. The packaging also participates in this aesthetic equation, deliberately raw and minimal, but extremely sophisticated in its multisensorial nature: the rustle of black tissue paper, which replaces the banal and polluting cellophane film, the negative writings, which the against the light it offers an unusual readability, everything contributes to completing an olfactory experience that is outside the box, with a contemporary spirit, but easy to wear and love, precisely because it speaks of each of us.
With these two concepts, the MOTH and RABBIT PERFUMES brand transforms and reproduces in perfumes, disparate stimuli, contemporary stories that belong to all of us. The perfumes of MOTH and RABBIT PERFUMES, inspired by films that marked an era, or by artists who left profound marks on today's semantics, all created by Mark Buxton, are crystalline and at the same time sharp at the same time. Films inspire art and creativity and with this, the brand has expertly used the notes to create jus that recall the best films of past years. Perfumes that explode loudly, releasing ideas, emotions, fragments of images, shreds of memory. A single, common topic: the pastiche of experiences and sensations that is life.
MOOD INDIGO: The 2013 Michel Gondry film that inspires this fragrance is about the love story between a man and a woman, which is actually the embodiment of a Duke Ellington song.
The love story turns to tragedy when a water lily begins to grow in the girl's lungs.
TOP NOTES: RED PEPPER, ROMAN CHAMOMILE. The beginning of love, glances that meet.
HEART NOTES: GERANIUM, WATER LIFE, MUSK. The calm before the storm.
BASE NOTES: INCENSE, SANDALO WOOD, CEDAR WOOD, PATCHOULI, AMBER. The loss of a loved one, the darkness of death.
