Mars in Venus ♂ natural cologne
August 2026
a l c h e m y ♂
Darker, spiced, herbal, animalic.
Mars entering the body of Venus.
The darker twin of Venus in Mars: the same sensual leather drawn away from floral radiance and toward spice, green herbs, tobacco, earth and animal warmth.
Where Venus in Mars is floral, waxy, solar and bare-skinned, Mars in Venus is darker, spiced, herbal and animalic.
Grassy, waxy immortelle and sunny orange blossom begin against blonde tobacco, but almost immediately the composition turns toward the body: hot saddle leather, indolic jasmine, resinous Ethiopian myrrh, oud, vetiver and civet.
Then come the herbs.
Husky caraway seed, green coriander and cardamom roughen the surface of the perfume, giving the leather something almost culinary, intimate and human: crushed seeds on warm fingers, dried grasses, tobacco leaf, sweat cooling on skin.
The August 2026 edition feels especially tactile. Not polished leather, but leather that has been worn, warmed and inhabited. Tobacco and oud deepen its shadows while civet makes the entire structure breathe against the skin.
Dry spice. Green stems. Animal warmth. Leather holding the memory of a body.
Bare thighs on a hot saddle. Heat caught in leather. Crushed herbs between the fingers.
Darker, spiced, herbal, animalic.
My ultimate sensual leather musk.
Notes: helichrysum / immortelle, orange blossom enfleurage, bergamot, jasmine, Ethiopian myrrh, vetiver, oud, tobacco, civet, caraway seed, coriander and cardamom.
The August 2026 edition is handmade in very small quantities from natural materials and Wild Veil's own botanical extractions. As with all Wild Veil perfumes, its color and aromatic nuances may vary from batch to batch.

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.

Wild Veil oil perfumes are suspended in an odorless base of organic MCT coconut oil. As they do not contain water, liquid perfumes do not expire, and may improve with age. While the volatile top notes (the ones that hit your nose first) will fade after a year or more, the base and heart notes will deepen and grow more complex.

In solid perfumes this silky transparent base (above) mingles beautifully with the earthy, honey musk of organic beeswax. Raw beeswax traps the aroma molecules, releasing them over time for an intimate experience.

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.
