Now - for the moment savourers - for the let’s go
Created by performance and theatre artist Mengting Zhuo. Now is of the moment, as you might expect. Capturing the transience of living and the beauty of the moment fading away. But it’s certainly not melancholic. This eau de parfum is still, joyous and suspended in the present.
Captures ‘green’ in its opening.
Gives way to a powdery iris.
Then dissolves into honey, sandalwood and vanilla.

What Is a Green Perfume?
A green perfume is defined by freshness — the smell of crushed leaves, stems, and living plants. These scents feel airy, vibrant, and immediate.
In Now, green notes combine with grapefruit and pink pepper to create a luminous, fleeting opening — fresh, slightly sharp, and alive.
Iris in Perfume: The Heart of Now
Iris is one of the most revered materials in perfumery. It is powdery, soft, and slightly woody, with subtle hints of violet and earth.
Unlike most florals, iris comes from the root (rhizome), aged over years to develop depth and elegance.
Iris Essence and Its Different Facets
Iris can feel powdery, creamy, woody, or even metallic. In Now, it is soft and transparent — never heavy, always balanced between freshness and warmth.
Honey in Fragrance: Soft Sweetness
In Now, honey is light and refined, more like acacia honey than a rich gourmand note. It adds warmth without overpowering the composition.
The effect is fleeting — a gentle sweetness that appears and fades, enhancing the floral heart.
Floral Balance: Hawthorn, Iris & Soft Petals
Hawthorn adds a soft, slightly green floral nuance, while hints of violet and rose create a delicate floral veil.
The result is light, balanced, and quietly expressive.
The Base: Sandalwood, Vanilla & Angelica
Sandalwood and vanilla create a creamy, warm base. Sandalwood brings calm woody depth, while vanilla adds soft sweetness.
Angelica introduces a subtle herbal, musky touch, keeping everything grounded and intimate.
Powdery, Soft, and Intimate
Now remains close to the skin — powdery, light, and personal. It is a fragrance designed for closeness rather than projection.
A Modern Iris Fragrance
This is a contemporary take on iris — softer and quieter than traditional interpretations, focused on balance and emotional clarity.
