Close-Up by Olfactive Studio £116.67
- Key notes:
- cedarwood
- cherry
- patchouli
- tobacco
- Aromagroups:
- edible
- unconventional
- woody
A new perfume by Olfactive Studio, a new collaboration between an established photographer and talented perfumer.
Close-up is an intense dark woody gourmand, the signature theme of Annick Menardo (also the nose behind Black for Bulgari, Bois d'Armenie for Guerlain and Lolita Lempicka among others).
The perfume smells boozy and bitter sweet with a cherry liqueur - tonka nuance going through the structure. The opening is cool anise and green coffee which then gradually descends into a very dark heart concocted of rose, honeyed Atlas cedar, patchouli and amber. The perfume turns fresher in the drydown of bright musks.
Incredible longevity on skin.

The perfume was inspired by contemplation at the Serpentine Lake in Hyde Park, London.
Nature and people come together to celebrate the summer Solstice. Light tobacco smoke rises above the tall grass, drowning merry people in its sweet cloud.
Ripe berries and plant seeds attract park squirrels and other animals. White Royal swans fall asleep in the pond. A light breeze ripples the surface of the water.
The mystical snake (serpent) rustles on the dewy evening grass and disappears into the fern, frightening the screaming birds.
Everything around is immersed in a bohemian night.
