Porcelain EDP 15ml

A still life of late summer. A second skin.

SUMMER COLLECTION
Perdrisât’s Summer collection gets you thinking about the characters you might find at a chic pool party: You have Fuck Boy tanning by the pool, drinking a pina colada, up to no good; then there’s Money Water, the tall, dark, tattooed stranger (and dealer?), Love Bomb, the popular one, the flirt, Fuck Boy’s on again, off again fling; Sycophant is missing the entire party, having dozed off in the shade of the fig tree, and Porcelain is the chic girl inside wearing an little black dress, making a pear salad wondering why she is even at this random party.

NOTES
Cloudy Pear, Iris, Clay, Musk

HOW IT WEARS
Porcelain is simple, but that doesn’t mean it’s not interesting. When you first spritz it, it smells exactly like unfired porcelain clay – finely-milled, smoothly white and subtly earthen, strangely softly sweet in a powdery way (you’ll know what we mean if you’ve ever done pottery before!). Once it’s had a little time to warm up on the skin, the delicate sweetness of pear mixes with creamy, waxy iris and plush musk for a your-skin-but better scent that lasts hours on the skin but sticks closely to it.

LORE LOVES
This fragrance is so beautifully delicate, just like actual porcelain! A skin scent made of clay reminds us of Greek mythology – Prometheus is said to have sculpted the first human beings out of clay. We love the idea of clay as an unformed material that derives its meaning and value from being worked on or with, for what are human beings if not that? In a less conceptual way, we can see how you would associate Porcelain with late summer – it has this musky warmth to it just like warm skin that’s spent all day in the sun and then slipped into cool white bedsheets at the end of the day.
