“The warm air is pervaded by a pleasant sensation of white flowers, jasmine and newly blooming magnolias, garlands of moist moss, aromatic leaves and proud cypresses. Slowly the fragrance rises. Up, up, higher and higher still, to join, all of a sudden, the crystalline jets gushing in the fountains and resting on the mirrors of water in the garden. Millions of miniscule water particles intertwine to create a shining, perfumed veil that rests on the cold marble shoulders of countless statues: gods, nymphs, fauns, dragons and mermaids. Time has stood still in the garden: yesterday is today is tomorrow."
This is how perfumer Vero Kern presents her newest fragrance (after the masterful Kiki, Onda and Rubj in extrait and in eau de parfum), Mito, a white floral with green, mossy and freshly spicy nuances. Mito is out for launch later in the year.

ReplyDeleteYeah, she does have a knack for making really good things! A green floral sounds just about what was missing from the line. I'm excited too.
Exciting description. But jasmine and moss? If VK is one of the few brave souls who doesn't care about the aromachemical cartel, I'll jump blindly into a purchase.

It may well be a lovely scent, but: has she considered writing fantasy fiction?
