Heroes, Gods, & Monsters

Explore how perfumers create metaphysical dimensions with perfume accords.

A perfume can be a straightforward experience, such as a rose perfume with a pleasant name. It could also be a casual functional citrus cologne, serving as an everyday scented accessory.

However, perfumers sometimes feel like conjuring up an epic story of a Greek hero within the scented dimension, challenging you with a fable monster, or creating a journey to the celestial premises of an antique goddess.

This can be achieved via numerous ways. By shifting the focus of your attention to the concept and the name, exaggerating conventional notes or creating unusual combinations. Finally, a perfumer can use an ultimately rare alien note, such as extracts of mushrooms or goat hair, etc. However, at the end of the day, your imagination and emotional response become the final ingredient of a fantasy, concept or story-driven perfume.

Feel free to indulge your imagination and senses with stories of goddesses, sorceresses, cryptids, epic heroes and more with this special edit.
