SYNOPSIS: Have you ever had a love so wild that you couldn’t hold on? At its core, Untamable is a love story born in the springs, waterfalls, and Indian Paintbrush covered fields of Texas Hill Country. It’s a classic western told through the lens of the new west, about the kind of love that stays up late after the honky tonk on Saturday night and is still up early for church on Sunday. It’s a story populated by modern day rabble-rousers, bandits, and outlaws—a compassionate waitress, an indigenous rodeo star, a bluegrass playboy, a female long-haul trucker, an up-and-coming rap artist, a queer sheriff, mischievous bachelorettes, and German tourists looking for the “real” America—all of them with one thing in common: they’re each untamable in their own way. When the sun sets on this cautionary tale, it won’t be hard to see yourself in each of them.

HOW IT WEARS
Opening floral with the fresh melon-y scent of saguaro blossom and the sweet warmth of yellowstar jasmine (which do remain prominent throughout the wear of this fragrance), it doesn’t take long before Untamable journeys to a dryer, dustier place. Tumbleweed, cumin and the Paso Fino horse accord create an aroma reminiscent of a farm, of hay bales and stables, which is quite animalic. The dry-down is soft tonka and smooth leather, warm and familiar. This fragrance has an incredible projection and great lasting power – it perseveres on the skin for 6-8 hours.
LORE LOVES
We are absolutely wowed by Untamable – it is unlike anything else we have. It does so well at translating such an abstract concept in honestly, a pretty daring way, which is what niche perfumery is all about! For thou who shall not be tamed, this fragrance is a playful middle finger to run-of-the-mill perfumes. Wear it as a reminder that you play by no one’s rules but your own.
