The Virtue’s<\/a> latest release is a deconstructed duo that re-tells a tale of life and legacy using fragrance as the medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Fragrance brand The Virtue<\/a> has a knack for creating unique and globally-inspired fragrances which hold their own stories. Knowing how profound the power a lingering scent holds, The Virtue<\/a> aims to celebrate and capture those fleeting moments in time that we hold dear in our memories and have imprinted on our hearts through a richly enduring, sensory experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brand’s latest releases are called Mary Mary I<\/a> and Mary Mary II<\/a> which are inspired by the story of Mary Katherine Lyons. As the story goes, Mary was one of several Irish passengers who boarded the Lady Aislinge in Dublin in search of a better life. The Lady Aislinge docked in New Plymouth in the winter of 1882. According to public records, Mary found work as an oyster girl by day and a \u2018fallen woman\u2019 by night to support herself. She disappeared in the winter of 1894, rumoured to be with child of a prominent townsman. There are many theories behind Mary\u2019s disappearance, but her warmth, feminine charm, charismatic persona, and the scandal and mystery behind her departure still lingers on the ocean winds of the rugged New Plymouth coastline well over 100 years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooke Lean, Founder and Creative Director of The Virtue<\/a> was enthralled by Mary\u2019s tale and spent months researching and creating a fragrance to capture the essence of the folklore of Mary. Brooke soon discovered that a single fragrance wasn\u2019t going to do justice to the local legend and instead created two intoxicatingly different sensorial experiences to tell the story of Mary. The first \u2018Mary Mary I<\/a>\u2019 attempts to personify her existence, the second \u2018Mary Mary II<\/a>\u2019 her legacy. \u201cFragrance is able to add depth and incite emotion that words alone struggle to capture. I\u2019m honoured to be able to attempt to tell Mary\u2019s story in both life and death using fragrance as the medium\u201d explains Brooke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooke worked with local artist Ronelle Pienaar Jenkin designing a visual piece to accompany the fragrances. Upon researching further into Mary\u2019s life, death and the rumour and scandal that accompanied it, not only has Ronelle created a stunning series of visual works, she also wrote a piece of poetry. The lead piece in the visual concepts has been hand printed onto 50 limited edition, salt rinsed silk scarves along with the poem Ronelle penned, capturing Mary\u2019s story in look, feel and verse and when sprayed with the fragrance, providing something that attempts to translate Mary\u2019s story richly as a multi-sensory experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mary Mary I<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

She\u2019s softness; powdery, gentle, sensual and feminine personified softness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Classically old world, a composition evoking charming residues of things past. Powder, lace, rose absolute, sweet tea; buttery soft yet not subtle, exquisitely delicate yet her underlying strength is captured in notes of cedarwood and sandalwood that reveal a classic base of musk, patchouli and just a hint of incense. A fragrance that has survived many things, imprinted with the delicate subtleties of life, revealing a warm heart and an unforgettable ending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mary Mary II<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

She\u2019s windswept, rinsed in salt, unravelling, then completely undone, yet never more eternally alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ocean almost overwhelms and retreats to reveal the freshness of water mint and a hint of bergamot citrus. Further brought to life with green, earthy honesty; calone and coriander add mystery and a sweet earthiness unfolds which welcomely grounds us with both feet. It opens with unhinged life and ends with a return to the earth, solidifying a rumour to last an eternity\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mary Mary I x Mary Mary II<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the first of its kind, Mary Mary I<\/a> and II<\/a> can be described as a deconstructed fragrance experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alone they stand as two powerfully moving, story stelling scents that inspire and incite a whole collection of emotions on their own. However, when layered together, the two fragrances combine to provide a completely different, highly unique olfactory experience. The raw ocean and earthy notes of Mary Mary II cut through and neutralise the powdery soft old-world overtones of Mary I. The exquisitely complementary layered combination bridges the juxtaposition between the two, resulting in a completely genderless fragrance. A sensory exploration of lust and tenderness, vulgarity and heart. Perhaps it\u2019s the ending Mary deserved\u2026 a tale retold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
