RITUAL USE

DIGITALIS

WHEN IT CALLS

When you need cooling clarity.

WHERE IT LIVES

Rain-lit twilight mornings, Spring air before the storm.

WHAT IT LEAVES BEHIND

Silver iris, galbanum, drowned violet, fern, and wet moss — clean and tuned to Mother Nature.

CRITICAL REACTION

“Digitalis is one of the more successful interpretations of cucumber I've smelled in perfume.

I tend to be critical of the note since it strikes me as something I should adore, but I find cucumber-centric fragrances largely disappointing. Instead of the watery crispness I want out of them, they tend to smell tepid, like you carelessly left out a pulverized vegetable in a warm room.

Digitalis, however, maintains a coldness throughout with the help of other chilly notes: airy spices like black pepper and coriander; dewy herbs like violet leaf and basil; an agrestic, shady moss & sharp galbanum. A clever weaving of incense holds all these disparate layers together, adding consistency to a nuanced composition.

The extended fade of Digitalis retains the watery and green sensations of cucumber but eschews that funky-vegetal smell for satisfyingly sheer incense and moss notes. The color association is a speckled forest green; the mood is relaxed yet attentive.
