NO13 – MELANCHOLIA

Melancholia by Moth and Rabbit, created by Mark Buxton, is an emotional landscape—raw, reflective, and quietly haunting. It captures the fragile moment of awareness, where beauty and loss coexist, and time feels both suspended and slipping away.

The opening is vivid yet fleeting. Cassis and green apple create a sharp, almost luminous freshness, layered with violet leaf and bergamot for a cool, green clarity. It feels immediate—like a moment you recognize even as it begins to fade.

At its heart, the fragrance deepens into something more complex. Dates add a subtle, dark sweetness, while narcissus and lily of the valley introduce a floral tension—delicate yet slightly melancholic. Musk softens the composition, creating an intimate, almost skin-like connection.

As it settles, the true depth of Melancholia emerges. Clearwood and vetiver provide a dry, woody structure, while incense and cade oil introduce a smoky, slightly charred nuance. The result is a lingering trail that feels introspective, textured, and quietly powerful.

Melancholia is not about comfort—it is about truth. A fragrance that captures emotion in its most honest form, balancing light and shadow with striking precision.

Perfect for: Evenings, introspective moments, cooler seasons, and times when you want to feel thoughtful, expressive, and deeply connected.
