Witch

A late‑afternoon powerwalk through the city becomes a secret ritual, cap and neon phone in hand, heart beating to a trap‑beat only they can hear.

The air tastes faintly like a dark sports drink, cool and fizzy, dragging in crushed apple peel and the damp green of a forest that starts right where the pavement ends. Inside, dark woods loom: resinous bark, smoky herbs, and something bitter and old, like a tincture steeped too long in the dark. Tuberose bleeds in, loud and fleshy, threaded with black frankincense, until the whole thing feels like a pact made in a clearing of outsiders who moved outside the map.

BARRE is a collection of fine fragrances by visual artist and independent perfumer Bree Hyland, composed in her studio in rural Mi'kma'ki, Nova Scotia, on the seaside edge of Plekteaq. Made in small batches, vegan and cruelty-free, each scent is built as an atmosphere — a place, a mood, a character — designed to draw the wearer back to the tangible.

The collection moves with range and a certain swagger. Hyland's perfumery is emotive and psychological, willing to be cheeky, willing to be dark, and always composed with an artist's eye for what scent can suggest beyond itself.
