Rose with Insect Candle

Like the petrol-blue iridescence of an insect against the chiffon pinks of a painted bouquet, the interplay of light and dark is perfected to create a radical new beauty. Notes of immortelle, honey, orange flower, cardamom and birch tar come together to subvert a delicate classic with a darker touch.

A limited-edition created in collaboration between perfumer Lyn Harris and painter Will Calver. Inspired by the Dutch Masters of the 17th century, the pair worked side by side to distil painted idylls into scent — each one a doorway into their shared world, where still life is reimagined in olfactory form.
