unisex
The tragic water spirit moves between rivers and seas, luring the man who has wronged her to his last sleep. Rusalka’s Embrace embodies the final breath before the depths close in: the slow sway of seaweed, a gasp of peppermint and pine, the frankincense waft of propolis, the clammy musk of drowned skin, and all the flowers he never lived to smell.
Stone Cap: 100% blue calcite
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a scent for close, dim spaces where the air feels damp and still, and the wearer wants to project something unsettlingly calm. Its green-marine bite and resinous undertow suit a composed presence that lingers after they leave, more whispered than announced.
How to wear
Best worn in cool weather or at night, when its saline greens and woody resin can unfold without losing shape. Apply sparingly: as an extrait, it should sit close at first, then bloom into a steady, atmospheric trail with a damp, mineral edge.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like marine scents with depth and texture rather than sparkle: green, herbal, woody and slightly eerie. It will appeal to people drawn to atmospheric niche perfumery, folklore-inspired compositions and fragrances that feel saline, resinous and quietly dramatic.

The nose
DL Jenkins is the nose behind Rusalka’s Embrace. The fragrance fits an authorial, story-led style: atmospheric, image-driven compositions that build around mood and texture rather than a simple note list. Within Pictura Fragrans, Jenkins works in a house language that favors narrative and emotional resonance, so the perfume reads less like a conventional marine and more like a scene in motion — green, saline, resinous and shadowed by floral traces.
Pictura Fragrans’s story
Pictura Fragrans is an independent house built on storytelling, treating perfume as a medium for memory, emotion and surreal imagery. Its approach combines artistic composition with carefully chosen materials, aiming for handmade extrait de parfum that feels expressive, intimate and deliberately crafted.
Rusalka’s Embrace’s concept
Rusalka’s Embrace was released in 2025 as part of the Furies of the New Dawn collection. The concept draws on the rusalka figure, a tragic water spirit from Slavic folklore, and turns that myth into a closing, underwater tableau: seaweed, drowned skin, flowers never reached, and the final breath before the depths shut.
Extra info
The bottle is finished with a 100% blue calcite stone cap. The fragrance belongs to Pictura Fragrans’ Furies of the New Dawn collection and was initially presented in an interim release while the final decorative labels were still being developed.
