Moth and Rabbit Parasite is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Mark Buxton. Parasite opens with Grass and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Lily Of The Valley, Freesia, and Rainwater, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Guaiac Wood. Moth and Rabbit's Parasite carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a divisive marvel. It aims for a deep, challenging art-house vibe, and some get it - really get it - conjuring cinematic visions. Others just smell a synthetic, musty basement, or a 'fine' if unremarkable green floral. It's either genius or overhyped, but never boring.

Its bold and at times challenging character makes it less suitable for formal or office settings where subtlety is preferred. The fresh, green, and aquatic accords make it surprisingly wearable casually, with some finding it a good 'going out' scent despite its quirks.

About

Opens with a striking, almost metallic aldehydic blast, cut through by the sharp, verdant tang of fresh-cut grass. Quickly, a damp, aquatic heart emerges, like rainwater on a lily of the valley and freesia bloom, hinting at something both clean and a little unsettling. The base grounds it with earthy vetiver and patchouli, softened by musk and ambroxan, while guaiac wood and myrrh lend a subtly woody, balsamic depth that lingers with a peculiar, almost industrial freshness. It's a journey from dewy meadow to damp, mysterious undercurrents.
