Scent

Ice-cold space

A supernova is an event that represents both the death of an object and the creation of many new things, and the scent captures this amazingly well.
Over a considerable period of time, we experience a constant cat and mouse with it which familiarizes us with all the scent nuances that are present.
The fragrance is not cool, it is cold.
Very cold, like surgical instruments.
Not a shred of sweetness has made it into this fragrance and I L-I-E-B-E it.
In a time where it's a bit state of the art to be either fruity or sweet in some way (yes Gritti has fallen into this trap too, I'm looking in your direction Mango Aoud , brrrrrr) Gritti manages to create a wonderfully refreshing aquatic here without 1000-fold marine nuances.
More like a good sip of cold water from a slightly tarnished water shaman halfway up a mountain you're trying to climb, if that makes any sense.
A glacial stream with a gravel bed, crystal clear and brute.
The slight woodiness is barely noticeable, it blends in so well with the fragrance.
These clear, peppery-metallic nuances also describe the black powder very well.
It has something clean about it, but not this musky cleanliness, rather something sterile and cold.
How you imagine a spaceship, like one from Alien where everything is white and you can't see a crumb of dirt.
It's a really, really successful depiction of a non-seaworthy aquatic that takes a slightly different approach. Very nice.
