Long introduction and short aria
First of all, my humble remarks on the background: Cloon Keen Atelier
is an Irish perfume manufactory founded in 2011 by three Irish artists
was founded. The founders are Mag Byrne, a designer and painter, Simon
Daly, a chemist and perfumer, and Roisin Duffy, a designer and
Photographer. Their aim is to connect the world of fragrances with the
History, traditions and feelings of Ireland. Despite the
artistic aspirations, the fragrances from their manufactory should be easy to wear. In
Year 2018, the company achieved international recognition with the fragrance "Róisin Dubh", which
Recognition, which won the UK Fragrance Foundations Best New
Independent Fragrance Award and in 2019 the Image, Business, and Beauty Award
won. This fragrance was created by a young Irish perfumer, Meabh
McCurtin, a protégé of Dominique Ropion, from whom she has certainly learned a lot
has learned. Her mother was a teacher and instilled in her daughter from an early age
love of Irish poetry from an early age. This is also where she found her source of inspiration
for Róisin Dubh. The name is also the title of an old Irish song. According to
legend has it that this song dates back to the 16th century and is said to be about Róisin
Dubh Ni Néill, the daughter of the Earl of Tyrone, an unusual
Beauty with raven-black hair (which I find rather un-Irish). According to the Fama
much evil has befallen her in her life, which over the centuries has attracted the
Attention of a number of bards over the centuries. Roisin, the pitch-black
Rose, is said to have gradually come to symbolize the unhappy, foreign
ruled Ireland Ireland.
In an interview for Image magazine, McCurtin described her intentions
in the creation of Roisin Dubh - loosely translated - as follows: "To create this fragrance
i created a special quality of rose called Rose Essential in
Combination with a suede and ink accord, which form the main axis
of the fragrance" of the fragrance". The rose is a symbol of sensual light and poetry, the
Ink accord is an allusion to Irish writers who lived in exile in Paris at the beginning of the 20th
Century lived in exile in Paris when Ireland was fighting for freedom against the
British at the time. As we know, life in Paris at that time was the life of the
Bohemian life, free from bourgeois constraints, and so McCurtin added patchouli and
Incense to depict this licentiousness. McCurtin: "The result is
a unisex fragrance that is modern but also contains a sense of the past" contains".
I find this fragrance very unusual, nothing like anything I know.
A fine rose fragrance is in the foreground, not a fresh rose, but one that
slowly withering. It is neither aggressive nor loud, but sad. In this
Sadness it appears vulnerable and very seductive, you want to protect it
and where you fail, to keep its petals pressed between parchment
It is an autumn rose and there is a smell of beautiful death and decay in
the air. At the end, patchouli and muted incense blend in and
soften this feeling of deep sadness. I am really glad to have gotten to know this fragrance
to have gotten to know it. I'm sure it will stay with me for a long time.
