Pnoi in Greek is such a complex word with too many literal and metaphorical meanings and interpretations... Always positive though, with some of the most commonly encountered being: breath (human’s breath with the help of lungs), pleasant air current, force of wind and also inspiration.
Therefore, I was inspired to create my most complex formula thus far (267 raw materials), trying to achieve a composition with incredible versatility and agreeable wearability. Pnoi is a powdery/ violet smooth leather composition in 26% concentration, a melange of my most favorite facets and techniques I learnt in modern and classical perfumery.
