LES LUNATIQUES | Eau de Parfum - absinthe, copal, sandalwood
A scent that evokes the creamy, opalescent surface of the moon and the copal, florid nature of the abyss ripped open when looked at for too long.
‘Lunatic’—of ‘lunacy’, translated literally as ‘of the moon’ while applicably of pejorative use toward a person of ‘extravagant folly’, whose intermittent bouts of upset and derangement are dictated by the waxing and waning of the Moon. Unsurprisingly, the common usage of the terms finds its roots in misogyny, and has been used to denigrate radical thinkers, deep feelers, and anyone whose behaviour fell out of line from patriarchal ideas of what and who is rational. In French, you would say that a ‘lunatic’ is ‘dans la lune’—’in the moon’, same as one might have their head in the clouds.
In this olfactory interpretation of the lunar effect, we choose to strip the word of its corrupted and oppressive connotation, and instead lean into the lunarian motions of feeling profoundly, speaking expressively, and dreaming abundantly, dancing beneath the Moon’s glow in reverence.
