Perfumer: Mark Buxton
24 ratings
From your scent profile
Moth and Rabbit Parasite is a unisex fragrance that opens with a green, cool mix of aldehydes and grass, then settles onto an earthy base of vetiver and patchouli.
Skunky's take: Like opening a window: the room feels lighter at once.
How does it perform?
From 27 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

Parasite's longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it is noticed up close without filling a room. It is open to both men and women; with no season or occasion votes, nothing more specific can be said about where it fits.
It opens fresh, green and slightly synthetic with aldehydes and grass. In the heart, aquatic notes, freesia and lily of the valley push it toward a watery, powdery feel. The base of vetiver, patchouli, gaiac wood, myrrh and musk adds a woody, spicy, earthy ground. Le Labo Baie 19 and Moth and Rabbit The Lobster have a close profile.
