Abstract and alien
An utterly abstract fragrance that is simultaneously very alien, while at the same time is suggestive of so many different things.
First off, it smells very yellow. And that's not just because I know mimosa is one of the notes. A single whiff of this and that's the singular colour that comes to mind, a deep, intense yellow. It also smells hot and dusty, but this isn't just the hot dustiness of an arid landscape: it's the glassy and metallic lustre of a hot light bulb,or a fan heater blasting out warmth on a cold winter's day. The wine note present is somehow also marine, but it's the sea in the distance, with only the slightest hint of it carried on a breeze. Above all, this is astonishingly airy and conjures the image of vast, open spaces, the view from a marbled balcony in the Mediterranean somewhere, but it's also the scent of an unused storage warehouse or an unoccupied office block.
This is such a strange, evocative creation, sadly hard to come by, now that Christophe Laudamiel has discontinued his Zoo line
