Echo of the earth
A spot for Terre d’Hermès Intense.
Ozonic, crisp, and slightly fruity
There’s a good chance that aquatic perfumes as we know them would not exist today if not for Calone. With an ozonic, crisp, and slightly fruity scent reminiscent of freshly-cut watermelon, this aromachemical became a darling of perfumers around the world in the 1990s, which is when the aquatic fragrance category was born.
[...] Perhaps unsurprisingly, you’ll also often find Ambroxan in aquatic fragrances—this aromachemical is a vegan alternative to ambergris, a whale-derived ingredient used in perfume—as well as Aquazone, a note that’s similar to Calone but with a saltier, more iodine-like aroma.

The daily lemming
Trudon has a new oud and peony home fragrance collection, Altaïr, but what caught my eye was a recent collaboration with the luxury hotel Le Bristol Paris: "On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Le Bristol Paris, Maison Trudon has developed an exclusive fragrance: Honoré. The Honoré fragrance pays homage to the patron saint of bakers and pastry chefs, as well as the iconic address of the hotel, located on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. Created as a bespoke composition by perfumer Sidonie Lancesseur, the fragrance draws inspiration from the emblematic flour mill installed in the basement of Le Bristol Paris. It also evokes the aura of the establishment, a true temple of French and Parisian gastronomy." With notes of yeast, wheat, cedar, hay and vetiver, available in 270g ($145) and 2.8kg candles and in a 375 ml room spray ($280).
