Fog is a visible mass of condensed water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere at or near the Earth’s surface. Walking on a foggy day feels peaceful, dreamlike and tranquil. The atmosphere is marked by dampened sounds, intimate scenery and a sense of slow, quiet isolation. The air can feel heavy or damp on the skin. Walking in the fog feels like being conscious in a dream. To create a note of fog, or rain or dew, perfumers play with your imagination using notes and stories. They use vetiver or patchouli which can smell like wet soil, modern musks that smell like droplets of water on old stone and even some unexpected combinations of naturals and synthetics to create cool, shady and mysterious formulas that make you think of rain, salty breezes, fog and mist.
You will receive a 1/2ml sample (1ml sample vial filled half full) of each of the fragrances in this sampler:
- 4160 Tuesdays The Big Smoke EDP - The Big Smoke is a rare amber with no vanillin as they wanted it to smell of dry smoked woods. It is one of London’s nicknames from the days before the Clean Air Act, when fog mixed with coal smoke was too dangerous to go out in. It feels like a film noire with its notes of tobacco, vetiver, a smidge of smoky white birch, a shed load of labdanum blended with frankincense, dark patchouli, Cashmeran velvet, Cedramber, Ambrox and two musks. There’s a flash of green: cardamon essential oil and aldehyde C10, for its waxy candle-like feel.
- Miskeo Brume EDT - Experience the ethereal ambience of walking through dense fog, as your senses become heightened to anchor your feet. Transport yourself into a parallel dimension, as the mist envelops you in an otherworldly embrace. Immerse yourself in the aromatic journey of juniper, mastik, aldehydes, fruity notes, geranium, ozonic notes, cucumber and vetiver. A fragrance that evokes synesthetic sensations, embodied by the series Twin Peaks. Picture a wintry dawn on a deserted beach along the Atlantic coast of Portugal.
- October Occult Moss + Fog Botanical Perfume - Green, herbal, wet earth and soil, lush rolling hills, resinous, misty moors, dense fog, dewy skin, perennial lime and a whiff of mystery in ancient lands. With notes of oakmoss, violet leaf, handmade pine needle oil, silver fir needle, cypress, cedarwood, botanical plant extracts, lime oil, resins and absolutes in an oil base.
- Pixie Spells Essentials Fog and Fern Perfume Oil - With notes of ozone, bergamot, lavender, moss, mint, earth and juniper.
- Red Deer Grove Stranger in the Fog Perfume Oil - Cold rain and billowing fog. The steady drip of water on worn stone. The sound of footsteps echoes in the alley. Few are about at this time of night, and those who are hurry for home and safety, coats bunched in their fingers, heads lowered against the rain. He moves among them with the liquid grace of a shark, appearing and disappearing in the fog. He is in no hurry. Sharp steel, animal musk and wet earth. Pale sandalwood, storm-charged air and cool rain. Velvety florals, white lily and raw pine. Dark musk, seductive amber and wicked absinthe. The scent is cool, fresh and clean, like a night of fog and rain, with a dark secret hidden in its core.
- Sixteen92 Hydromancy - Fog, cold violet, lichen, ambroxan, mineral accord, petrichor and glass.
- Unum Nebbia Densa EDP – From a collection of three fragrances dedicated to fog, Nebbia Densa is the extension of branch fallen between the wet moss and furrowed by our uncertain steps among the trees who move the cathedral of mystery, without horizon. The measure of things is missing, the breath of everyday life is missing, in the dark green frozen by the thin clouds that reshape the shapes with a humid pride. With top notes of vetiver and sandalwood; middle notes of botanical musks and Palo santo; and a base note of dew.
- Voyager Eternal Veil EDP - There is a quiet beauty in the way morning mist covers the mountains. As you stand there, the world feels hushed, as if nature has chosen to pause for a moment. The fog moves slowly, wrapping the earth in soft layers, hiding and revealing the shapes of trees and rocks with every passing breath of wind. Beneath your feet the soil holds a deep warmth, while the first rays of sunlight break through, painting the mist in gentle shades of gold. It is a scene that feels endless, as if this meeting of earth, sky, and light has always been and will always return each morning. This feeling becomes the heart of Eternal Veil. It is not about grand gestures, but about the gentle beauty of nature at rest. It is the warmth of the earth, the softness of fog, and the first light of dawn woven together into a moment you carry with you, as if wrapped in a veil that never truly lifts. With top notes of muguet (lily of the valley), violet and mist; middle notes of heliotrope, orris butter and tonka bean; and base notes of cedar, musk and oakmoss.
