Inspired by the Simone de Beauvoir existentialist novel, Timothy Han's debut fragrance is a disarmingly complex all-natural chypre with a uniquely balanced spicy herbal character that evolves differently with each application. Like the novel's characters, who find their relationships and sense of self forced into great transition by the events of the world around them, this captivating scent seems nearly impossible to pin down, echoing the passion and creative energy that lifts itself above the austerity and oppression of a Paris on the verge of cataclysmic change.
She Came To Stay opens with fresh, sexy aromatic top notes of geranium, lemon and basil giving way to a richly spiced heart featuring Indonesian clove and nutmeg. In a stunning and perpetually changing drydown, deep woody notes of labdanum, patchouli and oakmoss ebb and flow with a more ephemeral forest of cedarwood and vetiver, again supplemented by the crisp lemon and basil of the opening. Both classic and modern, fresh and warm, aromatic and earthy, inspiring us, in that grandly existential tradition, to relinquish our illusions of control and simply allow the power of the fragrance to go where it may.
Each package will feature one of five limited edition prints created by award winning visual artist Kirtland Ash.
