Moth and Rabbit Challengers is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Mark Buxton. Challengers opens with Rhubarb, Woody Notes, Bergamot, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Sea Water, Jasmine, Violet, and Magnolia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Moth and Rabbit's Challengers carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Challengers is a bold, modern fruity aquatic that really pushes the envelope. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent with a divisive rhubarb hit that makes it undeniably unique - definitely not one for playing it safe.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Challengers opens with a sharp, zesty burst of rhubarb and bright citrus - think mandarin, bergamot, orange, and lemon - that immediately grabs your attention. This vibrant kick then settles into a watery heart where delicate violet and magnolia mingle with a surprising, sweet hint of raspberry, underpinned by a fresh marine accord. The dry down is a grounding blend of creamy sandalwood, earthy patchouli, clean musk, and warm amber, leaving a sophisticated, lingering trail.
