Cup

Spiced tea, and a cold green edge.

Spiced tea sits at the center of this one, steam and leaf together, warm without turning sweet. Around it black spruce and fir needle run resinous and cold, close to a forest floor.

Above both, green mandarin and pink peppercorn come in sharp and faintly peppery, and galbanum sits under them, stemmy and green and a little bitter. It is published with a poem by Sam Mullany.

Last Parfum is a project of Liza Pittard Studios, working out of a studio in Richmond, Virginia. The fragrances come from Liza Pittard's own experiences, chasing memories and building worlds for friends to inhabit. Everything is made by hand in small batches, with creative direction from Ren Schwarz. Two releases stand in the line at the moment, Stone and Cup, both IFRA certified, and both printing an ingredient list on the product page.

Each release is published with a poem, credited on its page: Darian Razdar on Stone, Sam Mullany on Cup. Both carried over when the line relaunched under the Last Parfum name, with the formulas adjusted slightly and the materials and the impression unchanged. Sample sets, travel sizes and a tea collection are due late September or early October, which will take the catalogue past the two bottles it holds now.
