SPITE EAU DE TOILETTE

“It’s so rare to find a scent that so perfectly aligns concept and execution […] ‘have a nice day’ that translates into ‘fuck you’ in hot pink neon caps.”
—Brooke Belldon, founder of Sainte Cellier, via Instagram

Melancholic Violet-Rose

A moody fit of a rose perfume that strips the flower of its cultural associations with romance and fantasy by flooding it through with ash, burnt sugar, and a rather petulant little viole(n)t leaf.

Feeling

Resentful, clever, and so over with and above this shit you couldn’t even pay her to comment on it. Think Holly Hunter in Jane Campion’s 1993 film The Piano. Wear it on days when others would be better off just leaving you alone. In other words, this is a perfect perfume to wear when you’ve had enough of being nice. 
Presence

Unisex. A quietly aggressive rose lacking any trace of romanticism. Permission for the bitter bitches, the melancholic, or, really, anyone seeking an excuse to revel in disillusionment.

Projection

Subtle and nearly private when you’re present. But when you walk away it leaves a lowkey trace of sweet sandalwood ash that lingers like a grudge.

…Not that that’s your problem, or anything.
Scent Sculpture

A cube-like visual metaphor offering online audiences an idea of the wearing experience of Spite EdT through its representation of form, color, transparency, weight, and texture.
3D scent sculpture for Chronotope Perfume’s Spite Eau de Toilette: a translucent block of ice encases violet and rose petals suspended in light, giving the impression of frozen emotion while equally threatening to melt. Set against a Melancholic Mauve background, the sculpture conveys Spite’s quiet bitter restraint and fragility.
What Wearers Say

”It definitely fits its name in that it’s a great choice to wear when you’re just in a pissy mood.”
—@Rb189, via Parfumo

”It's a cliffside garden: I get a lovely subdued rose, ample violet, and some fresh salty sea spray. A really ‘pretty’ aquatic which is hard to come by. The dry down is slightly sweet, a little powdery, the violet melts with cozy sandalwood and orris. Lots of subtle depth here.”
—u/elbowskneesand, via Reddit

“[…] fantastic if you like roses and leather and unique scents with a definite point-of-view.” 
—u/wakeup_andlive, via Reddit

“A fluttering floral. It’s so purple. There seems to be a roominess built into the bottle. There’s a sweetness and a burnt green quality that […] leaves you with an incredible state of curiosity. I’ve never smelled a perfume quite like this before.”
—TJ Norris, Notetaking

”This is a moody, watery floral […] It has buttery orris and scalded sugar that morph the rose into something new. There are both leather notes and stanky notes (from castoreum) in the dry down. All in all, just a trip and a mood in a bottle. I think it leans very ‘vintage’ and if that is your jam you may love this as much as I do.”
—u/mannycat2 via Reddit

“[…] it really conjures up images of early nineties clubs where the leather may have been faux, but the behaviour was often loaded with real spite.”
—Stephan Matthews, via stephanmatthews.com
