Jessica September Buchanan (Regalisse Noire was on of our top 25 perfumes of 2010) is one of our favorite Indie perfumers. We are delighted to learn of two new fragrances- a scented duet. And for us that closes the year on a high note.
“A love story began when a boy from the east, met a girl from the west, when smiles and shy glances were exchanged, and their hearts leaned into each other.
She shared with him her love of flowers and perfume (especially roses and violets), and he shared with her sensuous parts of his culture, such as incense and oudwood, and the fragrant spices of his eastern cuisine. Together they began an exploration of the senses.
Love is Sweet represents the feminine in this story- full of roses, violets, vanilla, patchouli coeur, amber, and precious woods. (The name ‘Love is Sweet’ is inspired by the song from Anita Baker called “Sweet Love”…).
Notes: Bergamot, Pink Pepper, Bulgarian Rose oil, Iris, Turkish Rose absolute, Cinnamon, Purple Violets, Opoponax, Patchouli, Vanilla Pods, Sandalwood, Tonka, Musk, and Amber
Ode to Him is the masculine counterpart- fresh with the cool notes of cardamom and Coriander, richly layered with oudwood, cedar, and resins of faraway lands. These fragrant compositions contain high concentrations of precious natural materials such as Rose, Vanilla pods, authentic Oud from Laos, and Orris.
Notes: Coriander, Cardamom, Immortelle absolute, Rose absolute, Clove, Sandalwood, Oud, Frankincense, Myrr, Cedarwood, Patchouli, Moss and Vetiver
