Girth of Venus
For years, artist Maz Hussain has been turning heads and quickening pulses online under the nom d’amour Girth of Venus (BigCartel, Instagram,Bluesky) with glimpses into his queer fantasy world populated with erotic and emotional icons.
Says Maz: “I merge my passions for mythology and fairytale with visual arts to create a romantic representation I often never found growing up. My work centers around brown bodies, and the sensuality and tenderness I wanted to see as a kid. As well as disjointing the aggressive fetishisation of body hair into a place of sweetness.”
We’re very proud to introduce this series of Limited Edition perfume oils inspired by Girth of Venus artworks, each presented in a 5ml amber apothecary bottle.
