An Aromatic Floral Rooted in America’s Lost Prairie
Feel grounded with Grassland Opera, a crisp, green floral inspired by Orbexilum stipulatum, a prairie bloom once native to Rock Island, believed extinct due to buffalo migration after 1881. Known to spread quietly through its roots and not through seeds, locals still search for its return, drawn by the hope that something so deeply rooted might rise again. This scent honors resilience and rootedness, a celebration of staying true to who you are.
Scientific Reconstruction:
Through biotechnology, scent molecules inspired by Orbexilum stipulatum were identified and reinterpreted into a vibrant, herbaceous composition. Perfumer Olivia Jan took a precise, technical approach, replicating the scent’s extinct elements to evoke the quiet richness of the open plains.
Key Notes:
- Clary Sage, Ginger & Fig Leaves
- Ylang Ylang, Jasmine & Mimosa
- Sandalwood, Patchouli & Guaiacwood
Why You’ll Love It:
- The greenest green, fresh, herbal, and vibrant without being sharp
- Smells clean and comforting like fresh air with a soft, skin-like musk
- Lasts all day, grounding and effortlessly wearable

This is one of the best perfumes I own and I own over 200. It is clean, fresh and deep without being cloying. It’s perfection. I’d love to see the scent in a lotion and shower gel!

I have been searching for a new "signature scent" for almost a year - sampling this and testing that and finding nothing that really "fit" me. And then I ordered the discovery set and found Grassland Opera. I wore that sample every day trying to pick apart the scent and see how it "fit." It is light, delicate but not a push over, sensual and quirky - it's me! And it stays true and is long lasting. Also like me.

It was shipped and was delivered quickly. The scent is strong and lasts throughout the day without reapplying it. The Akigalawood is reminiscent of patchouli but initially its a fresh green lush scent and dries down to an amber / patchouli scent.

This perfume is unlike anything I’ve ever worn. People ask me all the time what I’m wearing and they also say it’s the most amazing smell. Will definitely try other scents from the Future Society brand

I am in love with this fragrance. It’s one of only two or three in my collection that I bought a backup bottle of because I never want to be without it! The greenest green note you can find. Energizing and unique. Bold but the dry down has an almost powdery quality. I would say that in my experience heavy sprays can choke the scent a little so being a bit more sparing really helps it to breathe. I love recommending this fragrance for the quality and the fascinating method FS has to developing their scents.
