Torvmosse perfume (Modern style)

Descrizione

30 ml

It is not easy to describe this perfume, perhaps the mood board (The second image in the photo gallery) will be clearer and perhaps one day I will try to interpret its aromatic facets in some sound structure, as happened with Hanami.
A fresh perfume, or rather I would say glacial, slightly harsh, with dry and balsamic notes, your mental projection must be directed towards desolate open spaces, marshy, rather cold, mosses and sphagnum are the masters in these landscapes, it is from here that I the idea was born, to lie down on the ground in these lands with my face facing downwards. Feeling that riot of fresh, dried herbs, some in a sort of fermentation, the earth releasing its history through the stratification of the vegetal sediment.
The clean air and the crisp wind helps refine the perception of aromas and is like sinking into a cathartic meditation.

I decided to select the Swedish language to best represent the Nordic territory, where these territories have the greatest impact.
The sphagnum is stratified over the millennia, creating a real mattress of plant material that cannot completely transform into earth; the acidic composition of these plants and the cold climate do not allow complete decomposition. In fact, peat is a combustible material, it is collected for various uses including the making of whisky, it is called peat aroma which gives it to the liqueur during distillation.
You will have understood that this perfume describes a harsh territory, with a hostile character, wearing this blend is representing the power of nature, determined, with the open and clear horizon in front of you.

But let’s get to the ingredients:
To give an earthy note I could have simply used Vetiver, too exotic and above all an aroma now associated with the Orient or tropical areas. Instead, for this landscape I selected the roots of Antsoro (Elinurus tristis), a herbaceous plant extracted in Madagascar, its root has a spicy, earthy but herbaceous tone, let’s say green.
The Himalayan Rhododendron, fresh and floral, the Douglas Fir rich in Beta-pinene gives citrus notes similar to lemon but always with green and resinous accents.
Another essence and I would add a rare one is the Mahimbo vitsky (Pittosporum viridiflorum), at the latitudes of the Mediterranean there is the Pitosporum of the hedges (P. tobira), originally from China, Korea, but the Mahimbo vitsky has an extremely herbaceous and persistent character.
And then the Linaloe (Bursera delpachiana), Lavender in CO2, a Taiwanese fir, another Australian conifer, a small tip of Ambergris and Benzoin extract.

Synthetic molecular (5%)
Dihydromyrcenol, fresh balsamic aroma, will be the persistent trail of the perfume.
Styrallile acetate, green notes, unripe fruit, hints of green apple, metallic, reminiscent.

Ask for a sample and it will be given to you, preferably with a small purchase from my shop.
