PERFUMER’S notes
about the FRAGRANCE
Just as the aroma of wood smoke spikes winter's air, AQUILARIA injects warmth into that which is cold.
The fragrance is a dedication to the East Asian tree of the same name, and most especially to divine oud, its darkly precious protective resin. From its opening of smouldering bergamot singed with black pepper, to Turkish rose absolute and black Ceylon tea that introduce depth, the scent is smoky and sweet.
On through an accord of guaiac wood and a touch of oakmoss, to endnotes of balsam of tolu, labdanum and vanilla — this is a truly beguiling chypre.
NANCY MEILAND
about the PERFUMER
Nancy Meiland is an independent perfumer whose work sits at the intersection of art, memory and place. Each fragrance is an evocation of a specific landscape or emotional state — crafted in small batches with intention and restraint.
Four of her fragrances found their way to MÚSE through the team themselves — each one chosen to represent one of the four women behind the studio. A scent selected for the person, not the shelf.
