Room 1015: Sonic Flower

This is Hard Petrichor: The Strength to Push Through Cracks

Big cities can sometimes trick you into feeling like there’s no sense of nature there.

The seemingly colorless images—concrete, asphalt, stone and steel—might convince you that nothing grows here.

But that’s not the case at all, because people grow here.

Like tiny shoots of grass or insistent little flowers poking out from cracks in the curb, people find ways to thrive, even in the greyest places.

The busyness and hardness of city life, after all, is still life:

People dreaming, persevering, making art.

People finding the strength to push forward amidst the chaos.

Sonic Flower feels alive with the pulse of big cities: traffic lights, headlights, the glow of towering buildings. Little groups of umbrellas and trench coats braving the puddled crosswalks, attempting to negotiate speed with caution.

This scent is sleek, chic elegance that stands tall despite the chaos, like glamorous shoes that walk straight through all those puddles, unfazed. It’s the olfactory equivalent of a bold lipstick that doesn’t flinch, even in the rain—

—and this I say figuratively and literally, because Sonic Flower also smells a lot like a vintage lipstick, thanks to it’s beautiful carrot seed and orris profile.

The cashmeran, musk and ambroxan base creates a perfect, misty cloud of a backdrop for reminding you of your favorite soft sweater or scarf.

Of all the rain scents out there, this is the one most filled with the kind of strength and confidence you wear to brave your days comfortably, rather than just bear them.
