Phosgene
Phosgene pushes the boundaries of scent to their limits. Even the most controversial scents can inspire new understandings of beauty and danger. This scented candle is an audacious venture, into unexplored territory of olfactory innovation.
At first glance, the name may evoke images of toxicity and hazard; phosgene is a compound historically viewed through the lens of caution. It becomes redefined here, within this candle's artistic vision. When we were developing Phosgene, we set ourselves a challenge; what if we could capture the essence of danger and transform it into something thought-provoking, beautiful and captivating? With a complex blend of aromatic notes, Phosgene challenges the conventional notions of fragrances, daring to tread on the line between allure and repulsion.
Crafted with top notes reminiscent of industrial landscapes mingling with hints of fresh cut grass; the initial fragrance entices the senses. As the profile develops, heart notes of slightly chlorinated floral undertones intermingle with the grass, presenting a paradox of beauty amidst the stark reality of its inspiration. The finish is a base of musty hay, green corn, canvas and mud. This base provides the final elements that were present in phosgene gas, coupled with a distinct human note.
This candle incites conversation. It holds a mirror up to society, and reflects one instance of the many horrific things humanity can do to itself, when it is at it's worst. To those who say this candle is in bad taste; we say that the use of such weaponry should never be ignored or forgotten about. Our Phosgene candle acts as a catalyst for reflection on our relationship with the natural and artificial worlds, prompting discourse about safety, brutality, and the fragility of life itself. It beckons to those who dare to embrace contrast, inviting them to ponder the many stories hidden within scent.
So join us as we step boldly into this olfactory revolution. With Phosgene, we awaken a totally new sensory experience. One that activates the imagination and stirs a sense of curiosity about the delicate balance of human existence. Explore it's complexities of aroma and emotion. Question your perceptions, and find beauty in the unexpected.
