The Personality of Scent

Personality noun
3 a: the complex of characteristics that distinguishes an individual or a nation or group
b: a set of distinctive traits and characteristics

Much like people, time spent with perfume is time spent getting to know the intricacies of that scent: how it changes, how it lingers, what sensations it invokes within and beyond the wearer. The impressions a perfume leaves upon the mind and heart of those who smell it speak to its personality; the composition of being that makes it remarkably distinct and unique to its own profile.
 

The process of formulation holds space for vast changes to occur within the technical make-up of a fragrance. From colour to strength to the position of the absolutes in the layers of the scent, this alchemy calls for a surrender of control and adopting the role of the observer as the scent undergoes its own interactions and transformations, eventually reaching a point of completion. And even then, when wearing a fragrance there is much mystery in how it responds to different bodies; how it changes and unfolds makes for a personal experience that differs between individuals. 

At Très there is the invitation for you to ‘meet’ our perfumes, to encounter their personalities and find out how they respond to yours. There is a full spectrum of charisma to be discovered at our scent table. We see a journey of scent, as a precious process of exploration into self, other and the heart of nature. We see our work as a sensory encounter of fragrances that are of the earth and hold themselves with a sense of totality, fully embodying their colour, scent profile and olfactory architecture.

When perfume is fully experienced, a beautiful process of co-creation between the art of scent and the delicate design of the human senses unfolds. Très fosters the space for that. We have a deep love for storytelling through smell, as if building images from scent landscapes into manifested form, cultivating olfactory discovery.
