AN ADVENTURE FOR SENSES
With the year coming to an end, I find it so mysterious how December still holds surprises. For an example: who knew I would be creating my own personal fragrance now, or maybe shall we try ever?! Indeed it is true. Floris London kindly invited me to come create my own fragrance as a Christmas experience in the hands of Bespoke Perfumer Nicola Pozzani, who guided me through the world of scents. For someone who primarily uses the sense of smell to locate the nearest pizzeria, this was indeed unexplored territory.
As you might be able to tell, a finely tuned sense of smell is not exactly my largest virtue, so the expertise of Nicola was crucial to creating a scent that spoke to my heart. This as with all bespoke takes you on a luxurious journey making you more aware of your own taste, and together with the perfumer you create a record that will stay with Floris forever.
I was taken through a range of base notes, slowly selecting which supplementing notes I liked to go with it, creating a unique product completely personal to you. I fell for a base of Chypra, a woody scent that dates back to the 1920s, with top notes of Woody Amber, a fresh Marine and a hint of Almond Blossom. I'm doing my very best to savour it, but as I should have expected from a fragrance completely created from my taste, I absolutely love it. Self discipline just met its match this Christmas.
