‘Fresh’
‘Woody’
‘Masculine’
Terms like these plague perfume boutiques everywhere. You’ve probably experienced the same I do every time I visit a perfume shop: everything gets reduced to three or four categories.
What’s disappointing is that from the tens or hundreds of fragrances on display, most actually fit nicely into one of these categories. So much so, that at some point you forgot which ones you tried because they smell so… alike.
But perfumery is vast. How could you reduce the scent of frangipani drunk on frankincense to ‘fresh’ or the fusion of tuberose and oud to ‘floral’? Who said blue lotus is masculine or feminine?
Then again, how many perfumes contain such ingredients or in such unique combinations?
Egyptian Musk a smells nothing like Almahera, which smells nothing like Iris Ghalia or Borneo Zen. If there’s one thread that runs through most of them it’s oud and precious florals. But then again…… don’t forget how magically different ouds can be!
So, although they certainly are… ‘oudy’ won’t cut it either.
This set lets you explore these attars at your leisure. Find your signature scent or simply cruise through these fragrant canyons to explore smells you haven’t encountered before. Flowers you’ve never smelled, drenched in ouds you haven’t heard of either. Scents that open the door to a new olfactory realm you’d easily get lost in – and happily so!
