Puck's Potion(2015) Part of the Travel Collection Puck’s Potion is a Chypre Floral Fragrance
Lily Absolute, Rose, Tonka Bean, Oakmoss (with hints of Crème de cassis a sweet dark red liqueur made from blackcurrants) Main accords: white floral-aromatic-soft spicy-balsamic-woody Inspiration: My take on Shakespeare’s comedy “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and what the mischievous Puck could conjure up in the woods, an artistic interpretation by the perfumer. Puck’s Potion is an enchanting enjoyable aroma like sweet summer hay. Tonka bean makes it cozy and cassis adds a touch of tangy fruit. It also has an unusual ingredient, lily absolute – in commercial perfumery, the use of natural lily essence is virtually nonexistent due to its cost and the difficulty of extracting it, and many people think that all lily notes in perfume are constructions or ginger lily.

She has no idea that I wait for her passing each night on her way back from the tea house. Her Kimono smells of a rich scent; a combination of orange blossoms, vanilla and lilies laced with tobacco. The Cypress trees and full moon heighten my senses. At that very moment a gentle waft of burning incense catches my breath from temples nearby. I am in love with her but she can never love me back for it is Forbidden to Love” as a Geisha. (The use of a rate Lily Absolute is used here as well).
