Plot Twist

Sunlit Citrus, Smoldering Resin

Bergamot and tangerine collide in the sun, sharpened by lime. Fresh ginger cuts through it, watermelon and rosemary sitting underneath, bright and unexpected. Lavandin absolute and purified myrrh ground the heart, resins and balsams wrapping around molecular jasmine.

Wild labdanum, a faint smolder of nutmeg and woods keep it moving, held down by vetiver and sandalwood, while soft musks carry it long after the rest fades.

Liberation of Flowers puts physical art and liquid art in conversation. Ashley Longshore made the artworks that go on the bottles. The Monette Series, one of Longshore's most intimate bodies of work, is petals abstracted and suspended at the moment they start to unfurl. The three fragrances inside are the work of Christophe Laudamiel, who takes the medium beyond luxury and treats it as one for emotion, intellect and storytelling.

Sima Sistani founded the house, having built Houseparty and led WeightWatchers. Persian heritage is threaded through all three releases and it is Sistani's own, Iranian-American, from the culture that gave the world rose water, oud, saffron and amber long before the modern industry existed. Naturals come from their native ground, and carefully chosen safe synthetics do what nature cannot provide alone. The bottle is built to sit out on a vanity.
