Stephen Dirkes of Euphorium Brooklyn has decided to move along a divergent path this Spring – and to quote him him directly: “Oh my g-d, they might just kick me out of hipsterville after this frag!”.  He’s referring to his latest perfume Ume, a riotously fruity floral perfume subtly tinged with mossy cedar undercurrents which are about as happy as happy gets: unfettered ebullience and mirth gleaned from a wellspring of inspirational sources.. Unlike several of his earlier fragrances which murmur in distinctly Teutonic tones (some verge on the Wagnerian), Stephen Dirkes  Euphorium Brooklyn Ume arises from the fertile and fevered imagination of perfumer Dirkes fueled by Lady Murasaki’s famous Tale of Genji (The Red Plum chapter), traditional Japanese depictions of plum blossom viewing (some meld a snowy landscape, exquisite women elegantly attired, plum trees in full bloom and The Floating World), Bashō haiku, and a snippet from the poem Walt Whitman composed in commemoration of the first Japanese Embassy visit to New York City in 1860 – A Broadway Pageant. I find Stephen Dirkes of Euphorium Brooklyn Ume satisfying and a welcome departure from many fragrances I’ve smelt of late. Juicy, joyful, exuberant Ume is well-worth sampling purely for the experience. The random winner is George Lellis.
