Subterranea 50ml

An attempt to depict the smell of a city that was built entirely on oil money. The aroma of oil, the earth, the herbs on the ground and the shiny metal buildings above.

“I am never drawn to metallics but I like them. That and the cold mineraly-scent reminds me a bit of work - which is my happy place, there's a musty-kinda-petrichory thing going on which always is double edged for me. It makes my stomach kind of flip-flop but I find it calming. There something spacey about it and kind of alien (not the perfume kind). I think I might love this for how it makes me feel.” Lydia Niziblian
