WHERE THE WILD THINGS GROW
BOTANICAL PERFUME
GET TO KNOW
A story in a bottle inspired by memories and the imagination.
I remember the grasses and wild flowers from the meadow opposite our house. It was a grassy field grazed by horses and cows, bordered by trees and the woods but also a swampy trench that drained the water to a turf lake. Around this lake we had all the adventures we could imagine as children. I still remember where a toad may live and what time the birds awaken in the Summer – and what trees and seasons smelled like.
DAWN and DUSK, when twilight hits and everything has a nearly other worldly, kind of magical feel to it. The times of inbetweens. When the reality and dreams meet up. You really feel it when you are in nature. You are at the moorland with a lake and the wild, misterious woods.
DUSK and DAWN running towards each other, to find each other and when they do they realize that althought they are diffent, they also have more in common than they thought. They always have been part of each other and they always will be.
The creation of the two botanical perfume started out on the same base story, same notes. Still they ended up very different. The two side of the same story.
As always the details and the presentation is as import part of my brand as composing the scent itself. Taking the ceramic direction with the bottles presented itself early on the design process. Our aim was to create a unique shape representing the brand while the glaze would be inspired by the theme and the scent of the perfume. It took more than a year to develop this vision but with the help of Tünde Ruzicska ceramic artist it materialized.
Each and every bottle is hand made and completely unique. The way a botanical perfume reacts differently with every skin, so does the glaze on every bottle in the oven.
And the magical world of Mar Galliti botanical perfumes is born.
WHERE THE WILD THINGS GROW
DUSK
The lake is bathing in the last warm rays of sunset. Its playful. It's kind. With a light glow of pink and yellow from the setting sun. The green of the wild is dark, but recognizable. Earthy but ethereal and sensual. The seductive warmth of the skin after a long day spent in the wild. Muddy green, a bit sharp. Opening into a clean clearing of flowers. Heady, freshly cut, green. With lots of energy, running, next to the lake. Then warmth. A loving, tender hug. Protective embrace. Seductive. Sensual. Playful. Deeply rooted. Dark night. Stars. Holding hands. Together in the wild.

WHERE THE WILD THINGS GROW
DAWN
The light veil of fog swimming above the water. Everything is dewy from the mist. Grey and raw. Full of energy.
Oily rich green. Sharp. Fresh. Crushed grass and herbs. Steping out to the clear, cool water. The skin's warmth is getting sensible. Protective strength. Hiding his personality while being fully honest. Comfortable. Being at ease. He feels like home.
