JANUS
JANUS
Eau de Parfum
A vetiver’s vetiver for a god’s god, Janus shares a central contradiction with its namesake. Upon its opening, you’ll smell a bold, rich, dark, sooty, iodine-heavy vetiver: woodsy and gruff, even somewhat violent. Yet during its dry-down, Janus transitions into a more traditionally femme vetiver-floral: airy, slightly salinated, almost aquatic, with unmistakable blooms.
This wearing experience, in effect, performs the duality of the perfume’s namesake godhead—thereby also making its wearer a hostage of that performance. Or to put it more bluntly, when Janus is worn on skin, you, its wearer, become that duality’s embodiment.
Two things can be—and often are—true at once.
Janus is meant to be stored in the fridge and sprayed on while it’s still chilled. Just trust us on this.
