Tall, dark and handsome. Mezcal on the lips. The warm dance of an asphalt mirage. NOTES Black Pepper, Mineral Notes, Oud, Musk PERFUMER Callum Rory Mitchell HOW IT WEARS Money Water opens quite smoky, with a combination of oud and mineral notes that have an almost peaty quality, like a top-quality brown liquor. Black pepper adds a spicy sharpness to the fragrance, and musk rounds it out, softening it as it wears. On the dry down the smoke has worn off a bit, and you’re left with a warm, resinous, spicy composition that lasts on the skin for hours and hours. LORE LOVES We get why Money Water is Callum’s personal fragrance. Like a tall, dark and mysterious stranger, this scent has a sense of trouble about it, in the best way. Think speeding down a highway in a getaway car, swigging on a bottle of Mezcal for liquid courage, tires screeching in arid heat, hundred dollar bills flying out the window. Wear this, and have everyone in the room you walk into whisper: “who is that?”. ABOUT THE BRAND Perdrisât is the brainchild of Callum Mitchell; designed, hand-made and bottled in Melbourne, Australia. Born in 2019 and then released to the public in 2022, the brand name comes from Callum’s maternal grandmother, a woman who to him was the epitome of elegance but at the same time had a wicked sense of humour. Callum comes from a filmmaking background, which is apparent in every Perdrisât fragrance – each one is a character or a vignette, a closeup scene with vivid imagery. While Callum has his own stories and associations attached to each scent, he invites the wearer to bring their own interpretation to the table, as you would when you watch a film. With a conceptual, fun and tongue-in-cheek approach to perfumery, Perdrisât doesn’t follow trends or seasons. You never know when a muse might appear, so like writing a poem or taking a portrait, Callum aims to respect the unpredictability of inspiration. There is no telling how many stories there are to share, scenes to capture, or memories to be bottled. With a slow approach to perfumery, Perdrisât aims to avoid overproduction, manufactured in small batches by Callum. Vegan and cruelty-free, each fragrance in the line is formulated with a combination of naturals and safe synthetics (no parabens, sulfates, or endocrine disrupting ingredients). Perdrisât fragrances have a parfum concentration of 22-30% – so on the stronger and longer-lasting side! FREE RETURNS Love your fragrance or return it for free.
