Common Tongue

by Jake Eshelman

Solid fragrance set in beeswax with notes of eucalyptus, clove, cepes, vanilla, and much more besides. 

Common Tongue is inspired by the common aesthetic and ecological impulses shared between people and nature’s original perfumer: orchid bees. Males traverse their territories in the rainforest to collect individual scents from fragrant plants, fallen fruit, fermenting bits, fungi, and other organic ingredients. He then blends them together to create his own custom perfume, which he fans into the air to attract a mate. The result is an alluring blend of essential oils and natural isolates meant to appeal to humans and orchid bees alike. 

“Common Tongue will linger and transform on your skin throughout the day. I would encourage people to put it on to see what—or rather who—they attract.” — Jake Eshelamn
