“I have wanted to come up with a New Orleans scent for a long time,” explains Ayala Moriel, who, in 2007, started exchanging letters about the sights and smells of New Orleans with resident and fellow perfume enthusiast Paula Stratton.
“I would not have been able to capture New Orleans in a bottle if it wasn’t for my dear friend, Ms. Paula Stratton,” says Ayala, who used her beautiful description of the city to create an authentic scent, full of magic and mystery.
Base notes - natural forces of the sea and the land: Seaweed and ambergris - representing the force of the ocean, Cedarwmoss representing decay, Vetiver from Haiti and Sri Lanka for healing and preservation (vetiver roots help to prevent erosion and flooding, and is grown in the area for that purpose), Cypress and Amyris for strength and dignity. Amber - soft and sweet
Heart notes - Southern Belle accord with a little bit of "blue notes": Magnolia - beautiful and sweet in every way Sweet Olive (Osmanthus) - sweet and pretty, but with a little bit of melancholy blue notes, Tea Rose,which is very sweet but also has ionone, which is violety and a little moody) Orange Blossom for pure happiness.
Top notes - Cheerful and Ascending: Hand tinctured Meyer Lemon, Rosemary verbenon - which is sheer, non medicinal and full of life, Mandarin Murcott - an unusually sweet and full bodied citrus notes, White Grapefruit from Israel, which is the best I've ever smelled in my life and is floral and vivacious.
