LES QUATRE SAISONS D’UN HIVER CANICULAIRE

THE FOUR SEASONS OF A HOT WINTER

May it wind wherever the sun shines, Scorching Winter is a fragrance that lends itself, despite its name, to all seasons. A paradox that we can without hesitation attribute to the nose that concocted this juice. The hot and cold axis presented itself as obvious for Philippe Paparella , a French nose based in Brazil who has traveled all over the world. His epics make him an alchemist whose perfumes adapt to all climatic conditions, whose scents play on temperatures to bring out the best in them. He recounts, almost with fascination, the evidence of this Winter which can be as mild as it is vivid.

“For Hiver Canicule, I was inspired by the raw material itself. With its smoky facets, Gaïac wood is a very interesting wood to work with. Following Antinomie's aesthetic, I was looking for the best partner for him. I remembered my trip to Salalah in Oman and I wanted to combine guaiac wood with frankincense. It was the perfect match; my creative idea was born.”

One whiff of this snow in a bottle and the imagination begins : we imagine the wood crackling in the fireplace, pulsing and warming. But the magic of raw materials is such that the “ contrast splashes thanks to the meeting between fresh spices and the warmth of balsamic woody notes ". It’s the cool double kiss effect! Stimulated by the juicy, lively and mysterious effect of Madagascar Ginger, the scent of Olibanum combines with that of Gaïac. For Philippe Paparella, it is obvious, “ Scorching Winter is the meeting of my memories and the beauty of raw materials. » And this perfume truly has the soul of a troubadour whose walks can be listened to from one country to another: spicy, energetic and warm. A booster effect composed of lively top notes: Orange, Ginger, Incense, Mandarin sprinkled with a pinch of pepper.

This scorching winter will just as warmly slip in a ray of sunshine during the magic of the holidays . Its heart notes are very sweet: Jasmine, Labdanum, Cedarwood, Almond and tender Lavender. It can just as easily offer a zest of freshness to tropical heat or, quite simply, intoxicate everyone with its scent of travel drawn from the woods and the varied flowers offered by the contrasts of the planet. This is reinforced by the base notes of Vanilla, Amber, Musk, Basil, Patchouli, Tonka bean and the mysterious Gaiac. Antinomie has traveled to the four corners of the world for a fragrance for the four seasons.
