Natural notes and synthetic notes
In current perfumery, there are natural and synthetic notes. Synthetic notes are those that are entirely created by man and have been used for more than a century in the vast majority of perfumes that we know today.
Thrush did not exist. The perfume of its flower cannot be obtained either by distillation or by extraction. It fell into the category of mute flowers, impenetrable, very fragrant and nevertheless too fragile to be easily bottled up, to the great despair of the smell-composer who would have liked so much to imprison Tinkerbell once, once only.
And then in 1908, everything changed; a beautiful molecule turns everything upside down: hydroxycitronellal. A note that is so reminiscent of the flower.
Thanks to synthetic molecules, we also manage to capture a natural scent that is unstable, impossible to create or even a protected species. These synthetic notes also add a wider field of creation in a perfume and reveal new scents to us.
The nose, which cannot cling to any known ingredient, lets itself be taken by surprise and submits to pure emotion. That of discovery, of the first day, of the first time.
A group where we can describe a perfume from its notes (amber, powdery etc.) as well as with our own feelings, imaginations.
