Sacred roses defiled in the most exquisite ways. Whips & Thorns exists in that electric moment when opposites collide. Worn saddle leather and tattered belts blend into the unspoiled elegance of damask roses.  A valedictorian with hidden tattoos.  A smokey Saturday night at CBGB.  Sex in front of a roaring fireplace. Mezcal burns while frankincense whispers ancient secrets. Yuzu and mandarin slice through heavy desire with sharp disobedience. This isn't a fragrance. It's a manifesto pressed into skin, lingering for hours like memories of pleasure taken on polished oak while fire watches. Beauty and beast. Weapon and wound. The bruise you wear proudly. For those who understand that true elegance isn't found in conformity, but in the exquisite tension between discipline and desire. The Vessel Every one of my bottles is a defiant middle finger to mass production. I hand craft each bottle in my flameworking studio, blown with borosilicate glass in different colors, shapes and sizes for each Surreal fragrance. I also designed and created each magnetic shoulder and cap that snaps together with a satisfactory 'clunk'. No factory assembly lines, no outsourcing—just me in my studio, fire, flame, and raw materials. The Juice Inside I extract a lot of these fragrance materials myself. Many of the raw ingredients processed by my hands, my equipment, my methods. Built from scratch, molecule by molecule. No shortcuts. 2 ml sample size and 10 ml travel size are also available in stock fragrance bottles individually or in sampler sets.
