Scent notes:
Formaldehyde (formalin), Turpentine (turps), leather, polished wood, parchment and specimen jars.
Step inside a Victorian operating theatre, at a time when techniques in anti-septic practices were just beginning to evolve. This is a very clean and sharp scent profile, much like the surgical equipment, used to cut apart and examine the preserved specimens. The acerbic scent of formalin is carefully explored, as it mixes with the sterile, motor oil-esque smell of turps. In the middle, the scents of polished wood and leather combine, giving the illusion of being in a raised seating area, as the surgeon begins his teachings. The soft smell of waxy parchment, as you begin to scribble down notes, makes it's presence known occasionally, whilst the smell of clean metal remains, throughout the entire profile.
We created this blend after being challenged to make formaldehyde smell pleasant. And we think we've managed to do just that.
