Fragrance Quotation Thursday: Travel Edition Posted on 13 Jun 11:11 , 0 comments

Here at Nomaterra, travel is kind of our thing. Be it a quick trip to the beach over the weekend or a grand European excursion, we can't get enough of the amazing world that we live in. This love for travel is a big part of what inspired our perfumer, Aggie, to create Nomaterra, and to create fragrances that we could easily take with us wherever we went. In honor of the concept behind our brand, we're loving this quote from Jack Kerouac, easily one of the most well-known figures to have been struck with wanderlust.

The Art of Perfume Posted on 10 Jun 11:47 , 0 comments

Last week we stumbled upon a fantastic article about perfume making from a 2005 issue of The New Yorker. "Annals of Innovation: The Scent of the Nile" details the creation of an Hermès perfume, Un Jardin sur le Nil (translation: A Garden on the Nile), and provides a fascinating insight into the incredibly complicated world which is perfumery. From debates about how to create a signature across a line of perfumes to listings of the countless iterations which Hermès perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena created and tested before settling on the final formula for the "juice," the article details exactly how difficult it is to do what perfumers do. Finally, the overall piece serves as a reflection on the different ways in which perfume is incorporated into major fashion houses, like Hermès. Hermès and Chanel both have in-house perfumers, allowing them to create a body of work that is cohesive and completely in line with their brands concepts. Many other larger houses and big name perfumes (such as celebrity perfumes) outsource their perfume factions, turning to external companies who employ master perfumers to create their scents. While this second tactic has been known to turn out some very successful fragrances, there is no cohesion, no authenticity or truth behind the perfume which links it to the ultimate message of the brand. By using the model found in niche perfumery, Hermès was able to create a body of perfumes which are distinctly Hermès and which represent all of the elegance, glamour, and class for which their brand is known.

“When nothing else subsists from the past, after the people are dead, after the things are broken and scattered...the smell and taste of things remain poised a long time, like souls...bearing resiliently, on tiny and almost impalpable drops of their essence, the immense edifice of memory” ― Marcel Proust

Where has your scent transported you?
