“…If I had them, I'd be King”.
A tongue in cheek, yet unapologetic fragrance that playfully pokes at gender roles.
A stone fig leaf accord, like from a Greek or Roman statue, opens the design which gives way to a more warmed and fleshy fig fruit center paired with a salted rose accord. As the fragrance transitions into the drydown, a rich, fruity, and slightly animalic Oud note emerges along with fascinating facets of olive fruit – olive wood, warm skin musk, and ambergris.
I think it's kinda badass.
Inspired by current events online, my inner ‘trouble-maker', and my beloved studio Fig Tree: Cecil.
I have long LOVED this phrase, as it strikes me as both hilarious and deeply serious. It is all too true.
The notion of gender and gender roles is always in play in society and the world at large as we navigate how to live together on the planet and how we want to live as individuals. This phrase and how it is adapted to the perfume concept will, I hope, give us a moment of levity, a wry smile and a giggle perhaps, but also a moment to pause and consider how we approach gender and what it means in terms of freedom, power, and expression in our lives.
(I also hope that you will just flat out LOVE the fragrance as a perfume. I know that I do. <3 )
