Coriander
Size 50 ml
- Exclusive
Eau de Parfum with cool notes of Coriander, Pepper, Geranium, Clove Stem, Musk, Magnolia and Mace.
"Coriander is cool. It is a spice, but it is cool. When we think of spices, we think of warmth: nutmeg, ginger, clove, cinnamon. We picture roaring fires, winter warmth, or the tropical climes where these plants grow. Of course with some perfume wizardry you can turn these on their heads. But coriander is already cool. It is fresh, green, pungent, and evocative of the grass, the expanse of fields, the sweeping sea. It is an everyday scent, light enough to meld with skin and project its presence with a subtle aura. Fresh, but unique with its pungent green atmosphere.”– D.S., Perfumer & Founder.
Top notes: Russian Coriander, Pepper, Juniper Needle
Heart notes: Geranium, Clove Stem, Clary Sage
Base notes: Musk, Magnolia, Mace
- In the top you have the fresh, pungent coriander heightened by sappy green lime peels and the aggressive herbal scrawl of rosemary from Morocco (which is rounder than those from Eastern Europe).
- Cubeb seeds—the noble cousin to black pepper—give more dry musky round cool.
- Clary sage takes the baton of herbal strangeness and runs it into the fresh heart. There in the heart is radiant ether—aquatic materials and the ubiquitous ambery cool of iso e super & co along with the rich hay like absolute of lavender. The base of green moss and unctuous musks hold together the lasting fresh cool of cool spice.
- D.S. has the choicest materials and can only be produced in small batches.
- Focus on pulse points.
- Resist rubbing.
- Don't overdo it.
