Pistil Whip

Torn gardenias, ylang-ylang and Mexican tuberose collide in this seductive scent of creamy white florals after a thunderstorm. Lush petals open while notes of rain and wet stone add dimension to this hypnotic masterpiece.

What would it smell like to be mugged by a flower? "Late one night I was walking from the subway when I lived in NYC and I was mugged at gunpoint. I surrendered my wallet, was pistol-whipped and then left in a heap. After recovering from this traumatizing incident, I experienced something called an 'olfactory hallucination' that lasted for weeks. I would wake up to the smell of tuberose and gardenia, but the flowers were nowhere to be found. After seeing a few doctors I learned that traumatic events can trigger these scent-based hallucinations. It eventually went away, but the experience stuck with me and became the inspiration for this fragrance." - Douglas Little, Founder/Perfumer.

A play on words, Pistil Whip is an explosion of lush florals after a thunderstorm. As the lush petals of this perfume begin to open, mineralic notes of wet stone and rain add depth and dimension to this hypnotic masterpiece. Pistil Whip was nominated for the coveted Fragrance Foundation Award in 2017.
