The name alone takes me in my mind to a place where the sun is slowly setting and the air is still warm. You’re sitting somewhere in the sand, with a small fire in front of you, watching the smoke drift slowly into the evening. These are exactly the kinds of images I associate with this name.
I like the idea of fragrances that tell a story of their own. Not necessarily fresh out of the shower and clean like a summer’s day, but with a mysterious, quiet and slightly wild side.
To me, Smoke of Desert sounds like a fragrance you’d be more inclined to wear in the evening. With a black shirt, a leather jacket or simply whenever you feel like wearing something special.
It’s this mind’s-eye imagery that makes perfume so exciting to me. A few sprays and suddenly you associate a scent with a place, a mood or even a memory.
Sometimes a fragrance doesn’t have to remind you of a real place at all. It’s enough if it sends your imagination on a little journey.
