ROLES

Guide: VETIVEROL

Support: GALBANUM RESINOID

Vetiverol is a sesquiterpene alcohol found in Vetiver Oil. Vetiver oil is sweet and woody-earthy, reminiscent of roots and wet soil.
However, Vetiverol is much cleaner with an airy-salty accent, rich woodiness and sparkling hints of grapefruit.
 The great advantage of using Vetiverol is that the perfumer can control whatever accents to push.
It acts very much like a beautiful base line – Like surface tension.

Galbanum Resinoid is a remarkable material, full of natural identity and dark green oomph.
Adding green to this otherwise blue palette amplifies the sense of altitude and airy skies.
It’s creates a true sense of Cerulean blue.

MISE-EN-SCENE:

Echo and Narcissus: exploring the boundaries between love and obsession.
A man stares at himself, enamored.
The refined shape of his freshly shaved face is reflected in the cashmere blue water.
With his hand he reaches for the reflection of his face, waiting to see what the ripples will do once reality meets his fantasy.
