Moth and Rabbit Perfumes, No5 - LA HAINE 12 ml

LA HAINE

Description La Haine is inspired by Mathieu Kassovitz's 1995 black and white suspense film of the same name. The film takes place over 19 hours in a multi-ethnic French housing project in the Parisian suburbs. The film is a dark and gritty portrait of racial conflict and police brutality, a sentiment reflected in the fragrance. La Haine opens with aromatic notes of bay, peppered with sparkling aldehydes and underscored by the dry, smokiness of birch tar and the unmistakable aroma of hot metal. La Haine is easily the most aggressive and experimental fragrance in the series, mirroring the discord and violence of the film. The violence of the film are brought to life through the use of bucchu and a metallic accord, redolent of metal and blood. As the fragrance progresses, the leathery aspects become increasingly more pronounced as La Haine becomes drier and darker. Dry notes of cedar and moss are joined by dusty accord in the base resulting in a drydown that feels parched and barren.

Quote of Mark Buxton   "A calm yet confrontational scent; that traces your neck like a sharp cold blade with bucchu sulphur, metallic bloody notes and cold aldehyde‘s. There is a feeling that something is going to happen with burnt rubber, cold cedar notes creating a concrete effect, combined with birch tar, leather and bay oil. Dying out on a cold, damp cellar smell with cedar atlas, dark musk and moss. "
