Essence of IX
Fragrance notes
Character
Essence of IX is a daylight companion for anyone who thinks floral perfumes are too precious to wear outside. The blend of sage, lavender, and rose creates a garden that feels walked through rather than arranged. White honey and black currant add a gentle sweetness that never sticks to the skin like candy, while oak grounds the mix with a dry, wooden texture. This is not a fragrance for a dim room or a formal evening. It works best when the air around you is moving and the light is clear. The herbal and aromatic accords keep it from feeling dressed up, so it suits a person who wants to smell composed without appearing to try. Someone looking for heavy amber or dark smoke should look elsewhere, because this composition stays in the open air.
Strange Invisible Perfumes composed this with Alexandra Balahoutis at the helm, and the result is a soft spicy finish that lingers in the fabric of a linen shirt. It is for the wearer who values a scent that mirrors a bright path through a grove of wild herbs and blooming trees.
