A spiral in scent, Volutes encourages one and all to roll with whatever challenges may come your way. Blond, honeyed Egyptian tobacco is a fortifying element that appears in many guises all at once. At first, tobacco is solid yet delicate, lightly toasted leaves that curl inwards like beckoning fingers. Slowly tobacco unfurls, only to vanish into smoke, a deceptive gesture that starts as a welcome and ends as a forceful embrace. But just when you think you might be overcome, tobacco flattens into liquid and lands like a splash of sweet, herbal water against your skin. Spices transform tobacco at this stage, lending it a more complex, almost tonic-like sense of purpose. As tobacco and spice warm and invigorate, honey assuages and softens the invigorating tug of this liquid (think of the insistence of a beautifully complex Bay Rum). Iris adds a supple, subcurrent of confident cool to both honey’s soothing wash and tobacco’s determined performance. Styrax illuminates all, a beam of heavenly light shining straight into and back out of the profound, swashbuckling body of Volutes. Daring and distinguished, this perfume recalls a dream voyage, on board a liner from Marseille to Saigon. Life at sea is fragrant, and its smell is forever imprinted on our memory: Volutes.
