Moth and Rabbit Melancholia is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Mark Buxton. Melancholia opens with Bergamot, Violet Leaf, Apple, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Date, Musk, Lily Of The Valley, and Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Clearwood, Vetiver, Incense, and Juniper. Moth and Rabbit's Melancholia carries a Statement verdict, an aromatic-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it beast. Melancholia is less a perfume, more an experience - a complex, atmospheric, and utterly divisive scent that promises a journey through the beautiful bleakness.

About

Opens with a sharp, almost jarring burst of green apple and blackcurrant, edged by a surprisingly potent, smoky note many describe as 'wet cigarettes'. This green, fruity astringency gradually softens into a heart of delicate lily of the valley and narcissus, sweetened by date, before a persistent, earthy dry-down. Juniper, vetiver, and incense provide a serious, woody-smoky backbone that clings with a clean, almost austere coolness.
