the fruit remains above. the ground opens below.
NECTARIUM began F/W 2026 in the flower: nectar, pollen, ripe fruit, creamy tea and skin.
OSCEOLA MUSCAT WOODLAND begins the descent.
At its surface is Osceola Muscat—an extraordinarily aromatic grape suspended somewhere between fruit and flower. Juicy, translucent and perfumed, its Muscat character moves through grape skin, wine, flowers, nectar and the volatile sweetness of fruit still hanging on the vine.
But this is not a grape perfume built outward toward sweetness.
It moves down.
Beneath the fruit is an aged mushroom tincture from my aromatic archive. Time has transformed the material beyond the simple smell of fresh mushroom: fungal humidity, old wood, dried vegetal matter and the dark, quiet atmosphere of something that has been changing away from light.
White orris forms the hinge between these worlds.
Its cool violet-root character touches the floral perfume of the Muscat above while its mineral, starchy rhizome belongs unmistakably underground. Violet appears almost spectrally—not as a conventional floral heart, but as the sensation of purple light passing through damp air.
Then moss, leaf litter and forest-floor materials begin to gather beneath it.
The grape remains visible.
That matters.
I did not want fruit blended into earth until it became merely dark or autumnal. I wanted the vertical sensation of encountering luminous fruit ABOVE while simultaneously smelling what exists BELOW it:
vine → fruit → fallen leaf → rhizome → fungus → soil
A restrained animalic warmth enters at the lowest edge, making the forest floor feel inhabited rather than decorative.
OSCEOLA MUSCAT WOODLAND occupies the threshold between NECTAR and what comes next.
The fruit has not yet become flesh.
It is still hanging above ground.
But beneath it, decomposition, root and fungal life have already begun their work.

Wild Veil natural perfumes are composed by me, Abby, using homemade, wildcrafted and organic aromatics in Vermont. These include my handmade enfleurage, tinctures, enfleurage extraits, absolutes, resinoids and concretes, and floral waxes. I spend as much time growing plants and foraging as I do composing perfumes.

The best way to experience a natural perfume is to apply it to well-moisturized skin, without rubbing in (absorption only shortens the wear time of fragrance) and without scrubbing off. Natural perfumes are dynamic and take a minimum of 2 hours to reach their final stage, or dry down. Enjoy the alchemical changes as they unfold from the initial intensity of top notes, to the warmth of the heart, to the depth of lower base notes.
