WINNER OF THE 2016 ART AND OLFACTION ARTISAN AWARD

4 stars from Luca Turin

Release year 2015

“Incendo opens on the smell of the forest of the Pacific Northwest; pine needles and cedar. From here smoke rises up as she seemingly employs most of the smoky raw materials available to a perfumer. This is a tricky balance as there are many, many perfumes where the smoke overwhelms. A testament to Ms. Wood’s patience in striking the right formula is the smoke swirls throughout the development of Incendo but at no time does it take over. As incense, sage, cypriol, and vetiver provide the olfactory haze there is something else playing in the back ground. Lesli describes it as “dark skies” in her note list. It has that simmering ozonic potential on the leading edge of a storm front. The crackle of the lightning and the rumble of the thunder are present. This provides an off-kilter kind of contrast to the smoke as it almost seems like we are smelling things in reverse. Which is how the man in the Black Lodge speaks; backwards.” –Mark Behnke, Colognoisseur

3 Stars Luca Turin

“La Curie really excels at capturing the scent of the outdoors, and Faunus is no exception. The name certainly fits this sylvan-god dream of a scent. It's all woods and hay with a touch of citrus, but it also has the quality of crisp, fresh air. Woody scents can so often veer dense and claustrophobic, but here, there's sunshine shooting through the foliage. I really don't know how they manage to make their scents replicate not just the fragrances, but the feeling of being outside.” -GeneX Fragrantica

Odyssey

50ml $130 / 9ml $35

Crystalline Osmosis

Liquidambar, astroid sap, purified air, white vinyl, nostalgia, utopian dreams

An ode to 2001 X Homer

"Vinyl garments, shoes and handbags have a distinctive aroma and it's captured beautifully in Odyssey, fully blooming about 15 minutes after application. I don't know that "white" vinyl smells any different than "red" or "blue" or any other color, but the mood of Odyssey is embodied best by white vinyl. In this fragrance, it's the scent of space suits and spaceship upholstery and Barbarella’s fabulous boots." -Jodi Battershell - Fragrantica
