diptyque: Eau des Sens
Thursday, March 17, 2016
It is disconcerting. Some people will perceive the scent in terms of colours. Others will hear whispering voices, taste ambrosia or feel as if they are nestling their noses into soft skin. Presenting Eau des Sens! And its sensational octave of scents. Such a magnificent illusion.
The idea is to take a different view of fragrance, a kind of
philosophy of softness - the body’s softness, a softness of skin so sensitive
that the sensuous and spiritual realms intermingle around this fresh, full
source.
Notes:
Eau
des Sens owes its lively memory to the original way that it is
composed. Each citrus fragrance is taken from the corresponding fruit’s leaves,
flowers and peel to capture its vital energy as a whole. Neroli is not
separated from its branch, and it provides extra sparkle and life. And in its
zesty orange gleam, a floral scent is always present.
But Eau des Sens is a diptyque adventure, as soon as you
think you understand it and possess its secrets, it changes directions and
reveals disconcerting woody and spicy facets. Eau des Sens is well-rounded,
harmonious and “blue like an orange” on a green bough in the sunshine of the
South of France. Eau des Sens deepens with the breath inhaling its woody notes
freshened by ginger. It could be criticized for lacking in common sense,
because its structure is such a prodigious achievement of balance. Perhaps it
is not very sentimental, either, but rather sensitive and sensuous.
For a diptyque fragrance named Eau des Sens this question is
a twofold contradiction. In any case, Eau des Sens can easily be forgiven for
its shortcomings because it smells good. Very good. A delight for the senses.
Including the sense of humour. Eau des Sens is like music that you breathe in
through the skin. A vital vibration in an accord of orange blossom, bitter
orange, juniper berries, angelica and patchouli.
Diptyque Eau des Sens is now available in KENSapothecary and
