No.37 Meteorites
Fragrance notes
Character
No.37 Meteorites opens with a sharp, resinous frankincense that immediately signals a spiritual mood rather than a bright, citrusy greeting. This smoking resin rushes straight into a heart of yellow florals, where ylang-ylang provides a creamy, almost oily richness that clashes beautifully with the dusty, root-like texture of iris. Violet adds a soft, powdery leafiness that prevents the florals from becoming too heavy, resting on a foundation of accords that include green and fresh spicy touches.
The base is a deep dive into comfort, dominated by a heavy vanilla and tonka bean blend that creates a distinct amber and sweet profile. It feels like a plush, vanilla-scented velvet curtain drawn across a room filled with incense smoke. The powdery accord is pervasive here, softening the woody edges of the frankincense until the entire composition feels like a cloud of scented dust. It is a dense, intimate wear that wraps around the wearer rather than filling a space.
While the blend of iris and vanilla is sophisticated, the frankincense can feel slightly medicinal against the sugary base, creating a sharpness that some may find jarring. The powdery nature of the violet and iris is so pronounced that it occasionally mutes the brighter ylang-ylang petals. It is a specific, somewhat challenging personality that demands a taste for dusty, resinous sweets over clean, transparent florals.
