FRAGRANCE TREK: FAR
EAST/ASIA 2010 |
|
|
|
|
|
GOURMET FUSION |
vaniglia e cioccolato |
|
[vanilla/gourmet/earthy]
more than the sum of its parts: Madagascar vanilla bean
Absolute, dark chocolate truffle, and a kiss of
sandalwood. |
fresh from the oven |
|
[gourmet]
oh the gloriousness of fresh, yeasty bread baking in the
oven... this is the ideal kitchen fragrance for the
non-spice lover. |
|
java almond |
|
[nut/berry]
from a tree originating in India, these large nutty
fruits have a juicy taste with distinct
notes that we recognize as
commercially grown almonds. |
vanilla bean flan |
|
[vanilla/gourmet]
ooh la la, this classic
vanilla is supercharged with rich, creamy, mouthwatering
gourmand notes. think: sweet vanilla beans on steroids. |
|
sugared milk (out of stock) |
|
[cream/gourmet]
similar to comptoir sud pacifique's "lait
sucré" (of which we are huge fans): sweet cream (with
slight butter notes), condensed milk, sugar, coconut
milk, and sandalwood. (out
of stock until April 1 2010). |
|
monkey cacao |
|
[gourmet/fruit]
monkey cacao is a
peach-flavored
relative of cacao/chocolate, bearing pods filled with
white juicy flesh having distinct peach/chocolate
nuances. |
|
ultimate carrot cake |
|
[gourmet/spice]
this rich cake is utterly divine, with spiced carrot
cake, sugar, and cream cheese frosting notes. if you
are on the fence about this one - it is fab. |
|
calvados-caramel sauce |
|
[fruit/gourmet]
very fresh McIntosh peel
greets you early on; further time reveals much deeper,
richer aromas that resemble caramel, cream, and brandy |
|
perfect pumpkin soufflé |
|
[gourmet]
"perfect" - it is that fabulous! clove,
cardamom, ginger, mace, cinnamon and nutmeg included. an extra dose of
Amish burnt sugar gives it an extra sweet and rich character. |
|
brown sugar pecan pie |
|
[gourmet]
a scrumptious nutty aroma, on a background of smoked
cinnamon and pie crust |
|
so-buttery rum |
|
[gourmet]
the scent of hot rum with a
dollop of melted butter. a terrific winter
house-warmer... |
|
|
|
FABULOUS FRUITS |
|
acai berry |
|
[berry/gourmet]
from South America, the acai berry tastes like a dark
berry with a dark chocolate finish. less sweet than
most of our other fruits. |
|
hillbilly cider brew |
|
[fruit/spice]
the aroma of an old-fashioned cider mill:
mulled apple cider, with extra nuances of woodsy oak,
cinnamon bark, cloves, and wild berries. |
|
gourmet caramel apple butter |
|
[fruit/gourmet]
the aroma of juicy fresh apple
dipped in warm rich caramel, with a touch of
spice-kissed apple butter. |
|
pears & riesling |
|
[fruit/citrus]
a sensuous, teasing bouquet
that offers a rich ripe pear married with zesty-sweet
Riesling. a great way to segue way fruits into the
fall. |
|
|
|
|
SPA SPLENDOR |
|
posh baby |
|
[marine/floral/powder]
baby lotion heaven: fresh aldehydes and fresh sweet
fruits, blended with jasmine and violet. the overall
effect? a freshening "baby magic" lotion. |
|
ode to laundry |
|
[ozone/fruit/floral]
clean ozone/marine notes abound, with nuances of florals
and fruit. if the fragrance of fabric softener comforts
you, this is your fragrance. |
|
latin beauty |
|
[amber/floral/fruit/fresh/vanilla]
inspired by latin american women, arguably the most
beautiful in the world: a very pleasant and natural
blend of lavender, vanilla, amber, lemon, and musk. the
end result is a simply naturally "beautiful" fragrance,
with sweet feminine qualities. |
|
crisp autumn air |
|
[ozone/fruit/wood]
fresh apples and
clean/crisp mountain air are artfully blended with
subtle outdoorsy notes of cedar wood and fresh fir. |
| |
|
|
|
GARDEN & BOTANICALS |
|
black bamboo |
|
[cucumber/cedar]
very texture-rich: fresh green bamboo and cucumber,
tempered with mahogany, lotus pods, mushrooms, and
watery driftwood. |
|
vanilla-lavender |
|
[vanilla/floral/aquatic]
vanilla bean predominates and beautiful lavender
soothes. with light notes of precious woods and aquatic
rain. |
|
honeyberry |
|
[gourmet/floral]
this North American edible honeysuckle berry (most
varieties are inedible) tastes like a combination of the
honey droplet inside a honeysuckle blossom and the aroma
of honeysuckle in bloom. |
|
snow
queen lily |
|
[floral]
vibrant white lily with just a touch of something
deep/rich/exotic, to make it just perfect for the
season. |
| |
|
|
|
SUPER SAVORY (spices & herbs & woods/earth) |
|
potpourri pleasure |
|
[spice/floral]
simmering cinnamon sticks and fragrant clove buds burst
within the body of this fragrance. a touch of ginger,
nutmeg, and cardamom adds depth, and the slightest
floral kiss adds femininity. |
|
oakmoss & cedar |
|
[wood/green]
deep green "moist" oakmoss (the
basis for most men's fragrances) and "dry" fragrant
cedar wood. |
|
star anise |
|
[fruit/spice]
star anise fruit is native to southwest China; it is
used in making Anisette and Pastis liqueurs, and has a
distinctly sweet and sophisticated peach-licorice
fragrance. (factoid: star anise has a vital function as
the source of shikimic acid from which the drug Tamiflu
is made, the only defense currently against the bird flu
pandemic). |
|
patchouli orange |
|
[earth/citrus]
earthy
patchouli lightened and blended with citrusy orange. |
|
gone hiking |
|
[earth/wood/ozone]
the perfect autumn fragrance, with the
musky scent of leaves swirling in the moist earth, and
the fresh scents of crisp air and pine needles. |
|
candied ginger |
|
[spice/citrus/sugar]
fresh shaved ginger, with
bergamot and limon citrus, kissed lightly with white
sugar. only slightly sweet, rather sophisticated, and
very unisex. |
|
campfire smoke |
|
[smoke/wood]
woody and comforting smoky notes lend themselves to the warm fragrance of a
crackling fire. perfect if you lack a
fireplace, but desire that warm, comforting fragrance. |
