Musk Oud是'Arabian Nights'系列的第五支也是最后一支。
在接触ARABIAN NIGHTS 天方夜谭这个系列之前,其实我对Kilian
Hennessy本人并没有很多的了解,会入这支也是因Musk主题和这只的另外一位和Kilian合作的调香师是Alberto
Morillas(他有过很出名的YSL M7和纪梵希圆周率)
Musk Oud is a perfume built on the contrast between
a liquorish Rose and an animalic Oud accord of great sensuality.In
the opening,the Lemon and Mandarin bring a ray of light warmed by
Cardamom and Coriander.The heart is an explosion of Roses made
syrupy and intoxicating
thanks to the Rum extract C02.A trace of Frankincense and
Indonesian Patchouli bring a smokey facet to the composition
saturated with dry woods.
在推出Yves Saint Laurent M7之前,并没有人会想过,比如用oud来作为香水的主题,YSL
M7在大获成功之后业界才开始以此为起始点,渐渐演变成今天oud大热的局面,Kilian选他来合作制作这个全是沉香的系列真的会看出他是很用心的人。
开篇升起的会是作为主题的小豆蔻和微微
芫荽以及柠檬果皮绵软部分的微涩厚实感,如果仔细找会有发现像薄纱一样笼在豆蔻主体外层的树脂,逐渐过度,内层的朗姆酒,玫瑰与天竺葵开始绽放,于此对立与其并存于中调的是广藿香龙蒿与丝柏,相互调和。有在阴云天气进过松柏树林的人会有体验过这种凉薄灵动的感觉,比青草更深层的东西,很“静”的味道,所以对面的花香也不会过于浓郁,更倾于饱满和温润,照应了沉香的主题。尾调会相对更为长久,只剩下贯穿整体的麝香与沉香,相依相存。
因为沉香的缘故,留香时间会很长,若是皮肤上可以持续一整天,衣服或者床枕会持续更久,一个星期左右。
Periods and continents diverge to give birth to this oriental
collection.The'Arabian Nights' collection is composed of 5
perfumes, 5 olfactive harmonies, all built around essential oils
with strong symbolic values from Middle East: Oud, Rose, Incense,
Amber and Musk.
Oud is an extremely rare and precious oil found in the resinous
heartwood of the aquilaria tree from Southeast Asia. The oil itself
is dark in coloration and has a complex scent, being warm and
woody, yet strongly animalistic at the same time.
The fragrances of this collection are an invitation to discover the
charms of this spellbinding culture.
Arabian Nights
天方夜谭 系列包含五瓶:Pure Oud 纯粹沉香, Rose Oud 玫瑰沉香,
Incense Oud 梵烟沉香, Amber Oud 琥珀沉香, Musk Oud 麝香沉香。
比起之前的ASIAN TALES 和IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL 这个系列将瓶身前的纹有Musk
Oud by Kilian
的铭牌换成了24k金,瓶身侧面是黑色漆面,正面是黑底和铭牌,所以用量会不容易看清,其实瓶内的香水并不是黑色。内衬有丝绸的漆面盒内除了香水之外还有一个封面写有Kilian
PERFUME AS AN ART
的小册子,左上角小孔系有黑色的流苏礼带和钥匙,钥匙可以锁住开启盒子,开始以为钥匙是装饰,后来发现不是(于是玩了好久(。
Luxury niche fragrance line established by Kilian Hennessy,
grandson of the founder of the Hennessy cognac company (which now
forms part of luxury conglomerate Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy).
Kilian Hennessy reportedly became interested in fragrance while
studying at the Sorbonne. He interned at Firmenich and worked for a
number of fragrance brands before launching his own line in 2007.
Hennessy has noted that he wants to 'put perfume back on a
pedestal' and that he 'he has no interest in the current trend of
bizarre fragrance combinations'.
Kilian Hennessy本人是轩尼诗公司创建者的孙子,By
Kilian于2007年建立。他在Firmenich
实习的经历为他后来的作品奠定了基础,他本人选用麝香时比如天方夜谭系列他会倾向于选用Firmenich公司的Auratouch
911382 和 Auranone
911383两种麝香的调和物。这两款的基底都使用了专利为Firmenich公司所独有的麝香,前调中带有莓类的果香这一特质类似多环麝香。目前Auranone
911383是Firmenich最优质的麝香调和而成的一种气味微妙而持久的的麝香基底,同时有着黄葵籽和动物香的特质。
文献中的介绍是以Romandolid为中心,辅以Habanolide, Exaltolide Total,
Muscenone和Helvetolide,并加入了柔和的花香调,有着檀香、琥珀、紫罗兰和粉香香调,而作为主角的麝香也毫不减色。像纪梵希就会选另一家公司Givaudan的环保型可降解大环麝香Cosmone,
因为从小接触轩尼诗的缘故,他在香水作品中能够把朗姆酒元素很自然的穿插在其中,不会使人感到突兀或是不自然。
在颅侧面观中,我们评判一个人好看与否的标准,除了鼻小柱和颧弓之外更重要的是下颌角与下颌体,也正是下颌的曲线构成了我们脸型的外部轮廓。沉香相对于Musk
Oud,正如下颌相对于美人,贯穿其间成为美感的主体。于光影之中,袅袅升起的是沉香木与Arabian Nights
