Movies are not the only thing to experience in a 3D-format. Special perfume compositions created by the French “nose” Philippine Courtiere also have the power to stimulate your imagination. They can be perceived as multidimensional, vivid and vibrant, much more so than classic fragrances.

“3-D SCENT” is a woody-chypre fragrance with a confident and bold character, suggesting commitment and seriousness, yet surprising spontaneity of expression when it comes to creativity. The perfume is slightly sour, not explicitly warm, which helps it preserve its energy and vigour. The main tonality of the composition is that of freshly cut aspen with its light scent which does not become heavy or resinous. The top accord consists of spicy pine resin merged with the sharp note of juniper berries and pepper, which slightly warms up the whole accord. While gradually dissolving in the air, the top notes give way to a mix of pine needles and sensual patchouli notes. Delicate, calm and stylish cedar wood softens the intense coniferous component.

The base of the “3-D SCENT” pyramid features a note of high-quality leather and a somewhat dry earthy scent of moss. The base notes also include refined amber, which prevents the resinous notes from becoming too rough and overshadowing the rest of the fragrant modulations. The “3-D SCENT” wearer is an active person, able to find innovation even in classic style. A desire for creativity and rigorously logical thinking come together in a harmonious blend. The bouquet is discreet, moderately tenacious and consists of imperceptible nuances distinguishing it from similar woody-chypre perfume compositions.
