Thessaly Eau de Parfum
A green, resinous eau de parfum built on cypress, immortelle and a base of labdanum, named for the Greek valley its herbs recall.
Thessaly is the one place we let chemistry turn to poetry, but even here the materials are named. The top is cypress and bergamot, cool and resinous. The heart is immortelle, the everlasting flower, with a curl of clary sage. The base is labdanum and a little oakmoss, warm and dry.
It is twenty percent fragrance concentration, which is high, so it lasts. We disclose the allergen-listed naturals on the carton, as the regulations ask, rather than hiding them under the word parfum.

What it will not do.
- It will not smell identical on two people. A botanical base shifts with skin chemistry; that is the nature of naturals.
- It will not last like a synthetic musk. Twenty percent concentration is strong, but naturals fade more honestly.
