Adi Ale Van - Transhumanta

Transhumanta - Sheperd's Potion by Adi Ale Van is an aromatic-green unisex fragrance released in 2025. Created by perfumer Jimmy Bodin, this scent is a raw, avant-garde tribute to the tradition of transhumance—the seasonal migration of livestock. It is a "feral" and evocative perfume that tells a story of nomadic shepherd life and the primal connection between man and nature.

The fragrance opens with the peculiar, hair-like aroma of costus contrasted by the bright, bitter citrus of yuzu. The heart plunges into a wild landscape, featuring powerful animalic notes of castoreum and civet balanced by the balsamic freshness of fir and green leaves. The base provides a deeply grounded finish, utilizing a unique goat hair tincture, soil tincture, resinous galbanum, and oat, along with additional costus. Transhumanta is an uncompromising, earthy, and animalic masterpiece for those who seek the smell of the wild, untamed outdoors.
