Product details

Inside the maze, comprised solely of dense tomato thorn, there flew a pack of horses. Wet through their saddles, lathering at the mouths, teeth bared. Most eerie perhaps, those bright crescent moons glowing in the darkness of their eyes as they danced furiously – thrashing at the skies, loudly clicking their hoofs together. Mid maze, they finally came at ease. Drank from the well beneath the grand cinnamon, brushing themselves against the bark. And, come nighttime, they slept deservedly. Still as can be, standing head by head, sharing dreams.

 


Notes

tomato leaf, cinnamon, castoreum.

polpo perfumes

tomato leaf

Stroke the stem of a tomato plant and its waxy, hairy skin leaves a fragrance on your fingers unlike any other. Metallic-green and exhilaratingly fresh, at once familiar and startling.

There is a technical facet to its brightness — echoes of pine turpentine, or linseed oil, some say. This balance of natural rawness and polished precision makes tomato leaf unforgettable. Buzzing, sparky, positively brimful of life.

cinnamon

It’s in your can of cola, chewing gum, and buns. Cinnamon is deeply loved and truly omnipresent. There is a case to be made that it is one of the most common perfumery materials in daily life. Nevertheless, boring it is not.

The oil has a camphorous note, bordering on bready mint, with a touch of eugenol — the molecule it shares with both clove and basil. Cinnamon oil also contains cinnamaldehyde, which provides its characteristic and unmistakable profile. In the drydown, a warm, balsamic wood note emerges. The essential oil is, after all, extracted from the bark of a tree. Deeply comforting.

castoreum

Few notes in perfumery carry such a charged history. Castoreum — the very name from Latin for “beaver” — was once gathered from the animal’s castor sacs, tucked beneath its tail. Today, no beavers are involved: the scent is artfully recreated from synthetics and botanicals.

The castoreum note is first and foremost leathery and animalic, primal and refined in equal measure. In the drydown, it presents a semblance of vanilla — not the pastry, vanillin kind, but something rawer. Like the pod itself.

• Animalic
• Vanilla pod-like
