Mohair
ALT. Fragrances is an independent perfume house known for unconventional compositions that prioritize artistic expression over commercial appeal. Their unisex fragrances often feature unexpected accords and niche ingredients that challenge traditional fragrance conventions.
Mohair opens with a bright, herbaceous character from bergamot and buchu, tempered by the earthy warmth of gurjan balsam and a subtle evergreen note from spruce. The heart introduces a distinctly savory-animalic dimension through mushroom and leather-tinged amber, creating an almost culinary quality that sits alongside warm labdanum. The base deepens this earthy sensibility with leatherwood, sandalwood, and additional mushroom notes, while a soft musk provides skin-like warmth. The overall composition is woody-floral with a pronounced earthy-gourmand character, neither traditionally feminine nor masculine but rather deliberately unusual.
This fragrance suits those comfortable with unconventional scents and willing to embrace its savory, fungi-forward character. It performs best in cooler months or evening wear when its layered earthiness can fully develop. Mohair aligns with The Romantic, The Hedonist, and The Homesteader sensibilities.
