Earlier this 12 months, I had the thought of collaborating as soon as once more with Artwork and Olfaction Award profitable Artisan Perfumer Amber Jobin of Aether Arts Fragrance after studying Madeline Miller’s guide Circe. Amber and I converse frequently and sometimes play off one another’s inventive concepts. Amber can also be not afraid to take dangers and by no means performs it secure, as a substitute makes use of her expertise to interrupt boundaries within the American Artisan neighborhood. After the success of Touchstone for CaFleurebon’s seventh anniversary Venture Talisman, (which was a prime 10 finalist within the Artwork and Olfaction), I didn’t need to wait a 12 months.

When creating Aether Arts Circe, Amber was painstaking and meticulous about capturing each Circe as she was portrayed within the guide, however her backyard and her magic. Till Ms. Miller’s guide the parable of Circe has solely been instructed all through historical past by males, most notably within the epic The Odyssey by Homer. Amber created 30 mods for Aether Arts Fragrance Circe and narrowed it to 3 for me to select from. There may be some irony that though I knew Amber had already created Charybodyis, in 2018, (the whirlpool and lesser of two evils for Odysseus’s sailors to keep away from somewhat than the monster Scylla). Maybe that’s one other fragrance story for an additional time. –Michelyn Camen, Editor-in Chief and inventive director. Disclosure: I don’t obtain any monetary acquire from any of my collaborations; the proceeds are for the perfumer.

Circe: A Collaboration between Aether Arts Fragrance and Cafleurebon.com
“Once I was born the title for what I used to be didn’t exist. They referred to as me nymph assuming I’d be like my mom, aunts and thousand cousins. Least of the lesser goddesses, our powers have been so modest they might scarcely guarantee our eternity.” Madeline Miller, Creator of Circe.
I used to be thrilled when Michelyn Camen approached me with the thought of making a fragrance primarily based on the Madeline Miller novel Circe. This feminist retelling of the Circe fable had all the precise components for an important perfume: an exquisite location and a personality that transforms herself from a lesser nymph into a girl of energy and energy. Banished to Aiaia, a verdant island caressed by Mediterranean breezes, Circe should be taught to fend for herself. She quickly discovers the secrets and techniques of the vegetation and animals, bending them to her will and utilizing them to maintain herself and different banished girls on the island secure when confronted by boorish male marauders intent on having their means along with her or stealing her treasures.
Aether Arts Perfumes Circe captures her island and the magical vegetation used to weave her spells. Ocean breezes carry the inexperienced scent of herbs that includes: Erigon, Lovage, and tomato leaf. On the coronary heart of Circe’s magic are flowers, Wild Roses and Jasmine Absolute. All are held aloft by the scent of sand, sea and cypress.
