Basenotes article today about a new fragrance

[stuigi]

'The scent features bitter orange, blood orange, bergamot, lemon, mate, spray paint, sage, ginger, frankincense, myrrh, tobacco, cedar, amber, white musks and subtle shadings of rose, carnation and tuberose." WHAT???

 

[Redneck Perfumisto]

Other listed notes on BN include earthen pots, Himalayan ambience, holy ash, and pollen dispersal!

Sounds strange.

What fragrance is this a notes list for? Almost seems like an auto-complete error 😄

Clandestine Laboratories' Orpheus

Clandestine Laboratories' Orpheus

Orpheus deserves better than that. 🙂

This might be- even non ironically and by real talk standards- yet another possible, while improbable but still feasible and somewhat marketable niche/designer exclusive/non-mainstream/artisan etc. fragrance idea with potential for an IRL actual scent release.

I think "notes liberation" is going to be a thing! And when it eventually goes mainstream, get ready for !

Tear gas.

I was thinking about this one too - it kinda does smell like aerosol rose!

tehehehe. It smells better than it sounds, apparently. The licorice people are smelling is probably the myrrh in combination with everything else…

Amazing! What next?

A Tom Ford fragrance with a smutty name like “F-ing Spray Paint.”

 

[Varanis Ridari]

L'Air du Discontinuation Ete will feature notes like "rising eBay prices", "rash-inducing oakmoss", "broken sprayer", and "Aldehyde Chevy C10"

There's some sunburn-inducing tagette that adds to the citrus fun but happily it's within the IFRA limit. And I can promise it will be discontinued or reformulated because it contains a weird mystery material I can't get any more. Adding to the hipster appeal, and in honor of my alleged Brooklyn location, the AI art includes the input "Greenpoint" as well as being based partly on my dad's paintings.

Orpheus is now apparently LIVING IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER. Living his best life, no doubt.
