To dance in an early spring morning among flowers – this is the aroma Beatrice Aguilar created in a composition that is between intensity and a caress, passion and sweetness, simplicity and sophistication.
The new niche collection "Scent on Canvas" so far includes five perfumes created by an eclectic mix of perfumers: Jórdi Fernandez (for Rose Opéra and Noir de Mars), Shyamala Maisondieu (Ocre Doré) , Alexandra Kosinski (Brun Sicilien) and the founder, Beatrice Aguilar herself (Blanc de Paris). The collection spans five fragrance genres with nuanced olfactory work within them: the starchy, woody musk, a predetermined crowd-pleaser (Blanc de Paris); the dark musty-mossy with guts (Noir de Mars); the mysterious, coppery woody (Ocre Doré); the rosy floral with mysterious, spicy-suede tonalities (Rose Opéra) and the complex hesperidic-leathery (Brun Sicilien). Each fragrance is accompanied by a painting by a well-known painter who is inspired by the aromatics in the composition, then the painting is turned into an engraving which is used for the packaging of the fragrance: the inside of the box holds the engraving ready to be framed and hung on your walls.
Notes for Blanc de Paris by Scent on Canvas:
Top: green mandarin, Murcia citron, Calabrian bergamot
Heart: white flowers, Bulgarian rose, iris
Base: white musk, sandalwood, benzoin
The perfumes are priced at 130 Euros for 100 ml of perfume/eau de parfum (only Blanc de Paris is an Eau de Parfum by design, the rest are extrait de parfum). A great value sample pack of all 5 scents is offered for only 10 euros online at the official e-shop. More information: scentoncanvas.com
As soon as I saw this Kai Nielsen illustration on the feed for your post, I had to see what perfume you'd matched to it. (Because this is one of three Kai Nielsen illustrations I have in my bedroom. The color is a bit muted online, but it's a really gorgeous work and gives me such a feeling of being in love). The complex musk/skin scent you describe seems a good match, Helg.
ReplyDeleteOops. I always mistakenly spell his name the way it's pronounced. I mean Kay Nielsen, not Kai. :-D
ReplyDeleteSuz,
ReplyDeletewhat a glorious choice for one's bedroom! I love this style of illustration, it's so dramatic and at the same time dreamy, isn't it?
The fragrance is more innocent than the tension depicted but the feeling is similar. :-)
S,
ReplyDeleteoh, don't worry about it, I think I made a typo myself! :-D
