How High The Moon

The story of this perfume is quite lenghty and fascinating and the aftermath of a collaboration with my genius friend, author, conductor and actress Katharina Kummer for her play 

"OPIUM oder: Ich habe Hunger, ich möchte GOTT essen!", which was performed in 2024 at the Theater der Jungen Welt in Leipzig, Germany.

Amazingly, several people from totally different backgrounds all mentioned it has something of a "Guardian Angel" in it, at the same time very seductive but also pristine and I won't reveal how I achieved this effect ;o) 

More details to follow soon.

Raw Material Info

The top note of this 100% natural perfume, which is a full Caribbean aromatic explosion like no other, is a result of handpicking the best citrus oils this world has to offer over 20 YEARS!

I guess I must have sampled at least each 30 mandarins, bergamots and all kinds of oranges from all over the planet.

The floral absolutes are the very top of the exotic seductive crop, tamed by a rare ethereal Rosa Alba from Moldavia that radiates an almost holy clarity throughout the composition.
All of these require an insane amount of labour to produce juxtapposed to their synthetic counterparts and are very costly.
