TIMOTHY HAN AGAINST NATURE EAU DE PARFUM SPRAY 60ML

Inspired by Joris-Karl Huysmans’ 1884 novel of the same name that broke with his naturalist roots, this is a decadent reinterpretation of nature at its most ornate. The far-reaching reach of this little-known novel can be seen as that poisonous French romance that inspires Oscar Wilde’s Dorian Gray to set out on a life of decadence. The French poet and philosopher Paul Val?ry called it his “bible”.

Top Notes: Pink Pepper, Lemon, Juniper, Green, Metal;

Heart Notes: Jasmine, Ylang Ylang, Lavender, Lacquer;

Base Notes: Musk, Vetiver, Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli.

The novels theme of decadence and fallacy is explored through perfume, altering perceptions of what is real. Against Nature is a blur between the natural and the man-made, ultimately echoing an alternative beauty.

This gender-neutral fragrance uses the scent of a freshly broken sapling mixed with notes of metal, lacquer and blood.

The perfume takes up the themes of the novels, using a blend of natural and artificial oils that resonate in the struggle between imitation and reality.
