RMS x Heretic: Scarlet Moon Fragrance

A traditional or synthetic fragrance is created using mainly manufactured molecules that mimic the aromas we all know.

A clean fragrance discloses their ingredients and is typically created with safe synthetic materials, while only having a few natural ingredients or sometimes none at all.

A naturally-derived fragrance like Scarlet Moon is a rare practice in the fragrance industry due to the high cost and lack of availability, as it comes from a natural source. Synthetic fragrances do not contain the rich "molecular soup" that essential oils do and therefore are considered cosmetic. Naturally-derived fragrance materials contain hundreds of aroma molecules that can affect the mind, body, and spirit making it a true functional fragrance with aromatherapeutic benefits. A good analogy is a synthetic fragrance being akin to an apple-flavored candy. The candy may taste good but there are no nutritional benefits. A naturally-derived fragrance is like eating a fresh apple, it tastes good and you get all of the nutritional benefits.

It is a joyous grounding scent laced with magic. The alchemical elixir blends a bright top chord of rich Blood Orange, bitter Petitgrain Heart, and tantalizing Italian Mandarin. The sparkling top chord gives way to the verdant beauty of Violet Leaf, while sticky Galbanum resin blends with bright Fir Needle and cracks of feisty Black Pepper. The base of Scarlet Moon is built with exotic Hinoki wood and lush Cedar creating a feeling of nostalgia, warmth, and comfort.

Blood Orange: Crisp and effervescent with fresh, juicy sweetness.

Violet Leaf: Lush and earthy with floral sophistication.

Japanese Hinoki: Rich, woodsy, and smooth with a touch of spice.

You can expect Scarlet Moon to last for three to four hours, as naturally derived fragrance materials do not have the same longevity that synthetic fragrances do. Natural perfuming materials are a by-product of the plant whereas synthetic aroma-molecules are engineered in a lab and designed to be intense and long lasting. We recommend applying Scarlet Moon to clean, dry skin on the clavicle, wrists, back of legs, and into dry hair. Toss it in your bag and regularly reapply throughout the day allowing it to be part of your daily rituals, lifting your mood and connecting you to mind, body, and spirit.

A functional fragrance has aromatherapeutic benefits naturally found in the raw extracts it’s composed of. Because Scarlet Moon is created with naturally-derived botanical ingredients we can speak to the aromatherapeutic benefits of the essential oils and their functionality.
