Description
A French village and chateau cast backwards in time and a garden highlighting the beauty and aroma of flora from around the world.read more
The name stems from the historical village of Apremont sur Allier in France, particularly the ‘park’ - a secluded garden containing stunning and also fragrant plants from around the globe, as well as architectural glimpses into different cultures and their designs.
Inspiration also came from French impressionist art, landscape and still-life, that so charmingly portray flowers, preserved on canvas from the perspective of that time period. The fragrance is in part an attempt to emulate this time travel to when those works were created and their subject matter, in an abstract scent-form.
As the initial spray has settled, the opening is vintage, very citrus-aromatic, both wild and sophisticated, dirty and clean, savoury, sweet and sour. Soothing and invigorating, the feeling of being freshly shaven!
After a few minutes, this seamlessly transitions into the plump, velvety and comforting heady softness of white rose petals, whose innocent floral bloom is a luscious dessert to the senses. There’s the subtle looming of powderiness and dampness below, but the indulgent heart of the flower reigns supreme. In the blending of the aromatic fauna of this formula we chose very unique ingredients such as litsea cubeba, marigold, clary sage, immortelle, galbanum, and spanish verbena.
Cedar gradually draws up a chair for the middle notes to wilt off, infused with and supplemented by hints of oakmoss and hints of oud, cultured and comforting in taking hold. Rounded, slightly vanilla-floral nuances return before heading back into barbershop territories.
In short, it has a complex, vintage, barbershop-style opening with lots of citruses, a central and unimpeded middle note of white rose and a melange of the best patchouli, oakmoss and musk at its base.
Emerging perfumer talent, Noah Russell, graces us with his first official fragrance. It is an honour to be able to showcase his work in collaboration with Lost Tribe and be the initial platform through which he shares his art with a wider audience. As you know here at Lost Tribe we love collaborating and bringing in new influences, inspirations, and incredible blends for you all to enjoy!
