A mineral mood at the intersection of bright green galbanum, sour-fruity verjus, and earthy-celery angelica. Like a clear morning on the shore, when water hits stone and mist hangs in the air. Dew glistens on the foliage.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
The mood is an early walk along a stony shore before conversation begins: damp foliage nearby, pale light on the water. Tart verjus and celery-like angelica give this quiet presence an alert, unsentimental edge rather than the softness of a conventional aquatic.
How to wear
Try it in mild spring weather or on cooler summer mornings, when its green, watery character suits the air. Begin with one or two sprays on skin and assess before adding more; a restrained application lets the crisp opening lead into the earthier vetiver and driftwood without crowding close conversation.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to bitter greens, rooty botanicals and mineral impressions rather than sweet fruit or plush florals. Its cucumber, verjus and angelica accord will appeal to wearers who want an aquatic idea with tartness, earth and an unconventional natural texture.

The nose
Juli Pätzold and Maria Magdalena Stachowiak, also known as Magda Stachowiak, jointly composed H₂O³. The sisters are the founders and in-house perfumers of 32.JULI, bringing backgrounds in design and architecture to their natural perfumery. Their approach begins with a scene and a material, then develops through research, formulation and refinement.
Collaborators
Juli Pätzold and Maria Magdalena Stachowiak share authorship of the fragrance, working as the house’s in-house creative and formulation team. Their individual contributions to H₂O³ are not separately documented.
32.JULI’s story
Founded by two sisters in Hamburg, 32.JULI combines traditional natural perfumery with contemporary clarity. Botanical materials, resins and natural isolates form a palette shaped by design, architecture and hands-on experimentation. Its imagined 32nd day of July expresses the possibility of a little more time for making and discovery.
H₂O³’s concept
H₂O³ takes its inspiration from a clear morning beside the shore, where water meets stone, mist hangs in the air and dew gathers on foliage. Cucumber and verjus bring watery brightness and tartness, while angelica, galbanum, vetiver and driftwood give the scene its botanical, earthy and mineral contours.
Extra info
The published pyramid includes an ambergris note, but the house excludes animal-derived ambergris, using botanical and resinous alternatives for comparable effects. Its perfumes are hand-blended, matured and bottled in small batches in Hamburg, where the porcelain caps are also crafted.
