description

Sapphics in the City is inspired by facets of The New Savant co-founder Ingrid’s identity, lesbian pulp fiction, and her favorite cocktail, the Clover Club. The fragrance explores what being femme feels like and embodies a reclamation of femininity that isn’t measured by heteronormative standards.

About

Similar to the way she adorns her body, The New Savant co-founder, Ingrid, chose every note in this scent intentionally. Peonies represent Ingrid’s past, often fraught relationship with femininity. Muddled raspberries, juniper, and lemon give nod to the Clover Club – a drink once reserved for wealthy white men, that fell out of fashion when it was perceived as being feminine. Thai rose apple (ชมพู่ or "chompoo") incorporates her Southeast Asian heritage and represents the entwined nature of culture and identity. Crinkled book pages pay homage to mid-century lesbian pulp fiction, which was often written off as salacious fluff, but became a lifeline for millions of queer women. Finally, spicy chili peppers add an unexpected heat while illustrating the edges within femininity.

Imagine: A sapphic, intentionally self-adorned, the strange delight of a Clover Club, worn pages of pulp fiction, a tingle on her lips, she's not here to please you, because she'd rather please herself.
