The Light Through Clouds

An olfactive depiction of the movement of sunlight as it shifts between clouds, The Light Through Clouds opens with a shaft of sunlight from warm Sichuan pepper and sunny sugared lemon. It is quickly cooled by notes of gurjun balsam, white tea, and water lily, as if a cloud has gone by. This dance between warm and cool, sunny and cloudy, continues as the scent progresses, changing from balmy salicylates to shadowy ambergris and vetiver, back to warm sandalwood, and finally to its final form as an incensed golden amber. Inspired by the Impressionism movement's work depicting the passage of time through the movement of light, The Light Through Clouds feels like a day when you have nothing more to do than watch the world go by.
