Naja · Eau de Parfum

Beautifulthings bite.

White pepper and orris over warm skin. Composed to be noticed late, by one person, at close range.

Follow the wear

It does not smell the same at hour seven.

A fragrance is a sequence, not a scent. Move through eight hours and watch which notes are actually doing the work.

White pepper Bergamot Cardamom Orris Jasmine Vetiver Cedar Musk

Sharp and cold for the first twenty minutes. Pepper and bergamot carry the opening and then leave without ceremony.

Three movements.

Each one photographed as it sits on skin, not in a lightbox.

The strike

White pepper and bergamot. Cold, bright and deliberately unfriendly for the first twenty minutes.

White cobra scales in soft daylight
Heart · 2–6h

The coil

Orris and jasmine, powdery and close to the skin. This is the part people lean in for.

The cobra's hood raised, still and pale
Base · 6h+

The rest

Vetiver, cedar and musk. Dry, warm and quiet — what is left on a collar the next morning.
