An Aquatic Green Floral Inspired by Borneo’s Canopy An invitation to slow down with Floating Forest, a cooling aquatic floral inspired by Shorea cuspidata, a towering rainforest tree once native to Borneo and lost to logging after 1998. Known for rising over 160 feet into the canopy, it was part of one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth. This fragrance evokes a quiet meditation in scent, green, lush, and serene in a world that moves fast. Scientific Reconstruction:Through biotechnology, scent molecules from the extinct Shorea cuspidata were identified and reinterpreted into this unique watery-green composition. Perfumer Jérôme Epinette approached the scent as a form of time travel, reconstructing not just the flower, but the entire environment it once inhabited. Key Notes: Cooling Bergamot & Black Pepper Dewy Freesia, Water Lily & Rose Absolute Salted Musk, Wet Stones & Papyrus Why You’ll Love It: Smells like stillness, cool, green, and deeply calming. The perfect “clean skin but better” scent, without going soapy. It lingers like morning fog, soft, mineral, and quietly magnetic. A scent with a story, rooted in an extinct rainforest tree once found only in Borneo.
