Artistic perfumery at its finest
When I was a kid, I would often spend holidays in the nearby mountains – the Bieszczady. They’re located in south-eastern Poland and are known for their nature and remote areas.
If you wandered through these mountains, you would eventually discover one of the many beautiful meadows full of flowers, where the air is filled with a delicate, clean, and simply beautiful scent. There’s one kind of flower that radiates the most prominent aroma: the rose – sweet, green, and sophisticated. It feels like you could just sit down and admire the beauty of nature for hours.
Anyone who’s ever been in the mountains knows how moody they can be. One minute it’s sunny, and you’re surrounded by the sounds of nature; the next, everything goes dead silent, and dark storm clouds begin to cover the sky. Drawn in by nature’s masterpiece, you find yourself in a danger you didn’t realize was coming.
When you finally become aware of it, the smell of flowers – innocent and beautiful just a moment ago – transforms into something still beautiful, but now almost sinister. You can literally sense the danger – but surprisingly, it’s not the kind you’d run away from, but the kind you’d stare into.
Within seconds, you know you’re in serious trouble, but at the same time, you can’t help but notice another kind of beauty. Vivid colors contrasts with the dark sky, the scent of flowers mixes with the smell of damp soil; a hint of smokiness and burned resins drifts from a distant tree that’s just been struck by lightning.
That’s how I perceive Serpent, and I absolutely fell in love with it. This is what artistic perfumery is all about: it evokes memories. And while it’s clearly inspired by one thing – in this case, the serpent – it still leaves room for your own interpretation.
