Sonnet XVII was inspired by the famous poem by Pablo Neruda. This is an earthy but soft and ethereal fragrance that almost turns in upon itselfa fragrance that breathes in as it breathes out. The heart of the perfume starts with an accord that represents the archetype of a Chilean mountain orchid that blooms quietly without the showy flowers of its more tropical relatives. Not sweet and fruity, the aroma is instead subtle, primitive and introverted. The orchid is complemented by a generous amount of dark and voluptuous osmanthus absolute, with a peachy, leathery, almost animal-like scent, as well as mastic, which lends a unique bitter quality. The result is a fragrance that is floral but not floral, the scent of the flower that does not bloom but sends its fragrance up from the earth to be sensed unconsciously. Top notes of Sonnet XVII include citron, cubeb, white champa flower, and mastic. The earthy base includes spikenard (Nard), oakmoss, Haitian vetiver, Bourbon vanilla, woods and musks, with a touch of natural ambergris. Sonnet XVII was created by nose Ellen Covey and released in 2012. Available as 5 ml parfum spray, 25 ml parfum screw-top bottle and 30 ml EDP spray.
