Moth and Rabbit The Lobster is an Eau de Parfum, created by Mark Buxton. The Lobster opens with Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Green Notes, and Lily of the Valley, settles into a heart of Cedar and Rain, and dries down to a base of Fenugreek, Animalic, Earthy, and Oakmoss. Moth and Rabbit's The Lobster carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's gloriously grim and decidedly divisive - you'll either adore its damp, earthy embrace or recoil from its unusual, marshy charm. Not for the faint of heart, it's a true love-it-or-hate-it experience.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - winter and spring pair best.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Date Casual

Its unique earthy and aquatic accords make it too unconventional for formal wear or the office. However, its bold character could make it an intriguing choice for a date night, especially in cooler weather, or for casual outings where something distinctive is appreciated.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

It starts with a green, almost metallic burst of lily of the valley and cypriol, like pushing through damp undergrowth. Then comes the heart of misty rainwater and fresh cedar, evoking a rain-soaked forest floor. The base is where things get properly dirty and interesting- an unapologetically earthy, animalic funk with rich oakmoss and a hint of medicinal myrrh, settling into a deep, grounding aroma.
