Swanstone Reverie
Fragrance notes
Character
Swanstone Reverie smells like a glass of champagne poured in a room where a fire has just been put out. The bubbles are present in the aldehydic lift, sharp and bright against the skin. Feathers bring a soft, powdery texture that settles into the creases of the scent. Smoke curls through the middle, not harsh but grey and lingering. There is an animalic warmth that keeps the composition from feeling too clean. The champagne note is dry rather than sweet, more like the rind of the grape than the sugar in the flute. It feels like a perfume for a grand staircase at night, where the air is cold but the stone holds the day's heat.
The powdery accord mixes with the smoke to create a scent that feels like velvet rubbed against a stone wall. Feathers give it a weightless quality that the heavier animalic notes try to pull down. It is a fragrance that sits close in feeling even when the notes themselves are loud. The aldehydes sparkle like light hitting a crystal surface that has gathered dust. Imagine a swan made of gray stone sitting in the middle of a dark, still pond, with a faint trail of ash drifting from its wings.
