The Gold The Sum 2017

A friend of mine brought me a sample box of The Sum Perfumes from the States. All five are very minimalistic, few clear fragrance components. I was especially taken with The Sun Gold. It is sandalwood, sandalwood and sandalwood and a trace of clove that gives all the warmth. The first about half an hour also something that actually reminds me of the smell of earth or clay, also something very slightly metallic, which I cannot classify (could this be a very clean oud?) This something like clay reminds me very much of the light smell in the concept shops of Gudrun Sjöden. I asked a managing director of Gudrun Sjöden if they used a room perfume, she denied that it was simply the smell of the natural textiles in the room: linen and cotton. Linen, maybe. Sandalwood, little carnation, little clay and linen. Wonderful. Very Zen. Elegant. Also very portable. Where in Europe can I get a whole bottle from?
