It opens like a fresh breeze bringing the smell of rain, wet earth and an intense green scent of foliage after the rain. A light whiff of tropic flowers entwine themselves into the ozonic freshness of the air with the nuances of crushed leaves and wet wood.
A “scented image” is a good name for this collection. To me they are much more “olfactory impressions” than “perfumes”.
According to the creators Dune Road is supposed to be an illustration of:
“Summer walks.
Crisp ocean breeze. Foamy Sand.
Whispers of herbs,
wildflowers & sea grass
from a distance.
Ethereal, captivating
& hazy pleasures.”
Though I recognize the elements from this descriptions in the scent, my own perception of “Dune Road” doesn’t show me much of sea grass and creates the image of a tropical forest after the rain with it’s reach smell of wet soil and sappy green leaves. A similar feeling I get from Fleur de Liane by L'Artisan Parfumeur.
And on the skin… it’s like running back home after mowing the lawn because of the sudden rain.
