I was inspired while visiting Kew Gardens in London in May. Every May there are hundreds of blooming magnolia trees in different sorts, sizes, scents and colours. Usually it is a very rainy season and my inspiration was to create a scent of the water and rain on magnolia trees.
The symbol of this modern perfume is an American modern dance pioneer Ruth St. Denis. She is not only a very talented performer, but also very feminine.
Divine Dancer is an ethereal, watercoloured, light, fresh, feminine floral perfume. It is modern and vivacious fruity floral scent .
The Divine Dancer perfume is dedicated to one of the first American modern dance and ballet performers Ruth St. Denis.
Her vibrant and spirited art of dance, influenced by the East and South Asia, her divine body move and incredible costumes made Ruth St. Denis a worldwide well known star. Her body projects as Temple of femininity.
When the dancer emerged from the darkness of the stage, her presence was immediately captivating, the air suddenly fragrant with her appearance. Adorned in jewels from head to toe, radiant in a special gold sari, her hair crowned in jasmine, she is an embodiment of divine feminine, mirroring the images of goddesses of Lakshmi and Saraswati but with the talented Ruth St. Denis touch of modern dance and ballet movement.

Inspired by a dream of flying naked over a lush jungle. Your skin tingles from the cold, before you feel the rustle of leaves against your body as you descend through the canopy of cypress and white cedar trees. Your senses are dazzled by the smell of green: vetiver, juniper, moss. You live here now.

About 06. Sesame Shower by CONCRETED
- What makes 06. Sesame Shower unique compared to these similar fragrances?
- 06. Sesame Shower stands out for its combination of black sesame and cookie notes, which add a distinctive nutty gourmand aspect not found in the others. It also balances floral notes like lily of the valley and rose with a resinous base of frankincense, amber, and musk, creating a complex oriental woody scent.
- Can I expect a smoky scent like 06. Sesame Shower from all these fragrances?
- Not all fragrances here emphasise smokiness. While some like Smokin' Gun and Fauno include smoky or leathery accords, others focus more on fresh, floral, spicy, or woody facets. 06. Sesame Shower’s smokiness is balanced with gourmand and floral notes, which is less common among these alternatives.
- Are these fragrances suitable for both day and evening wear?
- Most of these fragrances can be worn both day and evening, but their character varies. Fresher, cleaner scents like Santal or Unframe may suit daytime, while richer, smoky, or spicy options like Smokin' Gun or 602 Bois Narcotique Intense often work well for evening occasions.
