Snow Queen: A Fairytale Perfume

The Scent Story

I am delighted to be collaborating once again with Editor in Chief, Michelyn Camen, to create a new perfume to commemorate the 15th anniversary of her fragrance magazine, Cafleurebon. Michelyn’s “Queen Series” of perfumes are a never-ending source of creativity that are inspired by strong, powerful women. This year my perfume brief was a fairytale, The Snow Queen, by Hans Christen Andersen—a classic story of good versus evil as experienced by Gerda and Kai, two children that are neighbors and best friends. As every good fairytale revolves around a crisis, the sweet and loving Kai ends up with shards in his eye and heart of an evil, magic mirror that radically changes his outlook and nature; he now no longer cares for Gerda nor the roses that symbolize their love and friendship. But Gerda never wavers in her love for Kai, she embarks on a hero’s journey to liberate Kai from the Snow Queen, who has taken him to her icy kingdom. Ultimately, Gerda rescues Kai and her love for him conquers all.
Snow Queen the perfume, follows the arc of the story for its inspiration and perfume notes: it opens with a cool, ozonic “shards of mirror and ice” accord that mimics the evil mirror and the ice palace of the Snow Queen. This gives way to a dewy, fresh, “rose of remembrance” accord that brings love and summer to our hearts, melting all ill will. A delicious “snow” accord creates a winter wonderland of white chocolate, white amber, white orris, and white musk notes.
