La Haine

La Haine, meaning hatred, is a challenging fragrance by Mark Buxton for Moth and Rabbit Perfumes. Spice, greenery, wood, musk, freshness and leather are all equally noticed by those who describe it.

Aldehydes and metallic notes give a cold, sharp, almost industrial opening, joined by a note of blood for an iron-like rawness. Bay, nutmeg, cardamom and buchu add a spicy, herbal, slightly medicinal bite, and rum a boozy warmth. The heart and base are dark and smoky: birch tar gives a tarry, campfire smoke, rubber a burnt, urban edge, and leather a rough texture. Oakmoss and moss bring a damp, earthy greenness, Atlas cedar a dry wood, and black musk a dark, close finish.

It is shared and can be worn by anyone with a taste for the unconventional. La Haine suits cool evenings and art-house occasions, for people who like provocative, smoky leather scents.
