We’ve partnered with Harriet Parry, a multidisciplinary floral artist celebrated for her layered, emotionally resonant work, to create a limited-edition interpretation of Haunted Rose. Having collaborated with brands including Hermès, Rosewood Hotels, and the Royal Opera House, and featured in Vogue and Architectural Digest, Harriet brings a distinctive artistic voice to the project.
A genuine fan and user of Future Society, Harriet approaches the collaboration with an insider’s intimacy. Her practice—rooted in nature, memory, and the tension between fragility and permanence—mirrors Future Society’s ongoing exploration of scent as both science and art.
About the Scent
Surrender to the wild with Haunted Rose, a smoky, spiced floral inspired by Macrostylis villosa subspecies 1 + 2, an untamed bloom once native to South Africa and lost to invasive species after 1960. Found only in a narrow stretch of rocky fynbos, it thrived in harsh, wind-swept conditions, its survival as defiant as its disappearance was swift. This fragrance is a trace of something fierce and unforgettable, an echo of wild beauty that refused to be tamed.
Scientific Reconstruction
Through biotechnology, scent molecules from the Macrostylis villosa were identified and reinterpreted into a bold, smoky floral. Perfumer Jérôme Epinette approached the scent as a form of time travel, reconstructing not just the flower, but the entire environment it once inhabited.
