WILD CARROT OUD

• WILDNESS • MAJESTY • RAWNESS

Bare feet on the lawn wet with dew, a walk among the flowerbeds covered with the morning glow of a spiritual union with nature. Among the bountiful crops is the carrot, the queen of vegetables. Its unique colour symbolizing strength and shimmering with an amazing palette of orange shades harmoniously contrasts with the expressive green of the leaf stalks. Against the background of other gifts of nature, it is distinguished not only by its presence, but also the attractiveness of the sensations it provides when one succumbs to the desire to reach for it. Excitement is intertwined with the sensuality of experience. The scent and earthy aftertaste of nature’s offerings reminds us of where true, mystical beauty has its beginning and an end. To see it, you need to look deeper. It inspires to create, and pursue an artistic fulfilment in constant movement.

"I remember my grandmother’s backyard garden as her kingdom and a place full of magic”, says Michał Gilbert Lach, Creative Director of BOHOBOCO • PERFUME. “Grandma, like a modern shaman, always knew perfectly well how to take care of treasures that grew in her garden, which I consider to be an extraordinary testimony to her connection with nature. For me, the most magical ones have always been the raw, wild carrots. Waiting for them to finally become ripe enough to eat was an impossible challenge for a child. I remember how impatient I would get and snacked on the still unripe carrots. It provoked angry, but in fact amused reactions from my grandmother, proud of her grandson's audacity. Eating such a delicacy won with intrigue was a unique, multidimensional experience - particles of earth crunching between teeth and its aftertaste intertwined with the freshness of moist flesh. The whole experience was enhanced by the impish and elusive charm of breaking the rules. This insatiable quest to get carrots is a symbol of the perfect reward as well as a metaphor for my artistic mission”.
