A fragrance pyramid featuring the top, middle, and base notes of Medea EdP by Chronotope Perfume: orange blossom, motor oil, doll’s head, Florida tangerine.
As a visual representation of the scent of Chronotope Perfume’s Medea Eau de Parfum, a cube of white porcelain in the shape of a doll’s head with eyes closed and a slack jaw—the expression is still, and the porcelain is aged, fractured, and leaking a tarry-colored orange substance, evoking innocence, loss, traumatic injury, and the human costs of war.
1/4

“[…] rare in one-size-fits-all, super-commercial perfumery […] these kinds of bitter top notes [are] not to sell millions of bottles, but because [Chronotope] love the craft.”
—RealSimple Magazine

Inspired by the murderous mother of Greek tragedy, Me/dea is an orange blossom metaphor for recent world events that spans both lullaby and ruin. Less “Won’t somebody think of the children?” than “How can there ever be any ending but this: first silence. Then darkness.”

Feeling

It’s a mirror. Some cry when they smell it. Others turn away. Others lean in closer. Make of that what you will.

Presence

Unisex. Contemporary & Forceful—like a rollercoaster that keeps plowing forward but never comes to a stop.

Projection

Is a psychological defense mechanism that manifests in behaviors that might be described as excessively critical, exaggerated, or paranoid, and while there is no DSM-V entry specifically for “projection,” it is often associated with narcissistic and borderline personality disorders.

“Insane perfume. Orange blossom cologne at the petrol station, exhaust fumes and all. Haunting doll's heads and concrete dust.”
