The Serpent's Orchard Pictura Fragrans 2025

The modern biblical vision of the perfumer DL Jenkins touches me deeply - just like the name and fragrance composition of Qetora Zohar.
I associate the scent of a fig tree, its leaves and fruits, with the Greek islands. We love to vacation there and always look forward to tasting fresh figs from the "trees of knowledge" :)
We don’t sneak like snakes into gardens, but we find fig trees in overgrown ditches (hence the nettles) and have to watch out for bees and wasps that also want to enjoy the fallen fruits. The sweet fig juice running down our chins brings us a sense of well-being, similar to inhaling myrrh or amber, or visiting the house of a well-known beekeeper.
I know the latter very well too - we used to keep bees in our garden and on our meadow, and I gladly helped my husband with "the honey harvest" :)
I personally wouldn’t recognize Tokaj wine in the fragrance, but when I think of its taste, I agree with the perfumer: Tokaj interestingly complements the ingredients.
Overall, "The Snake's Orchard" feels soft, round, and warm to me … like the moment when you dare to stroke the giant snake skin or take a spoonful of fresh honey into your mouth on a sunny day.
