Spritz or Swallow

spritz
swallow


Its a novel idea. A capsule that works with your own excretory system to provide pleasantly scented perspiration. At the end of the day we are just chemicals made up in different ways so this should work, no? Im skeptical of this new creation. Until I actually try it out my opinion is open ended. Technically this is possible but for me, perfumery is more than just chemistry. Its art.











The beauty of perfumery in the classical sense is the use of natural raw ingredients working in harmony on the skin revealing themselves seductively over time (drydown), stripping back layers as the accords warm and develop, each evaporating at different rates due to molecular mass thus plunging the wearer in a changing scented atmosphere. For me its this mingling of natural (or synthetic) materials and the chemical makeup of the wearing working in unison thats so intriguing. The Alchemy of fragrance!

Over the years I have seen many different gimmicks hitting the market. Supplements, perfumes inspired by our most private of body parts to enhance arousal in our partners and scents based on just one aroma chemical designed to change on each person differently( Escentric Molecules etc) and also just released.... fragrances inspired by blood types I suggest trying these for yourself.


Personally I prefer designs artfully combining ingredients which hint at bodily secretions... ala Etat Libre d'Orange Secretions Magnifiques created by Etat favorite Mr Antoine Lie.
