The famous Swiss naturalist Conrad Gessner is considered the founder of modern zoology, but as a true 16th century scientist he was also: a prominent physician, botanist, linguist and – of course – spelunking adventurer.

In his ‘Descriptio Montis Fracti sive Montis Pilati’ from 1555, he chronicles his climb to the summit of Mount Pilatus, but we also get to follow him into the caves of the Alps. ‘At night, the moon shines into the cave so brightly the light itself seems to take form, like a mist. It gathers in the ceiling and makes the limestone stalactites glitter and gleam, dripping tears of white liquid into puddles on the rock floor that never dries. Moonmilk.’

NOTES
Top: Black Tea, Lime
Middle: Cardamom, Lily of the Valley, Black Pepper, Mandarin
Base: Mysore Sandalwood, Tan Leather

HOW IT WEARS
The sharp zestiness of lime and mandarin together begin the wear of Moonmilk, staying prominent for a while on the skin, like a bright white moonbeam that will eventually illuminate the other notes in the fragrance. Once the top notes have faded a little, you notice the herbal black tea, flavoured with the slight sweetness of lily of the valley, the green spice of cardamom and almost sweaty black pepper. As Moonmilk dries down, the combination of creamy, milky sandalwood and leather create a distinctly dirty-but-still-kind-of-clean-skin feel. This fragrance will last 8+ hours on the skin. 

LORE LOVES
Moonmilk… an ethereal fragrance if ever there was one. This scent feels like a warm, tingly embrace from Mother Nature herself. As soothing as a cup of herbal, spicy, milky chai, yet as invigorating as a brisk walk in the forest. A both comfortable and comforting wear.
