Molton Brown is announcing their first niche collection of fine fragrances inspired by a tour around the world - Navigations Through Scent. This exquisite collection made of the finest ingredients arrives on the market in September 2011. The house introduces five fragrances, each of them representing one location along the ancient spice route: Egypt, China, Indonesia, England and Canada.
Perfumer of this collection is Jennifer Jambon, who works as principal perfumer for Molton Brown.
The scent of Indonesia is patchouli, embodied in spicy-woody fragrance Singosari.
Flacons of these niche fragrances are all the same – very elegant, as if they were made of crystal. The see-through gems are topped with a silver stopper with inscribed names of fragrances. All fragrances will be available as 50 ml.
Had a chance to sample the scents from MB's new Navigations Through Scent line at one of their Master Classes and was not overly impresed. The stories attached to each one I find more interesting.
Thee best (IMO) is Singosari. Now I always rate a frag by thhe compliments received and this one got its fair share (somewhat to my surprise). I have to figuree it works with my skin type.
Not a whole lot going on here. One could say it is sort of dusty patchouli lite.
Can not comment on its worth since I do not know the price being asked, but the bottle is the best thing about it.
Sillage is good but longevity doesn't get past a few hours.
OK, lesson 1, so here is how to make money in the world of perfume. Make a scent, and call it niche and exclusive. That is pretty much it. Niche sells. Everyone likes niche. Someone will buy it eventually.
Molton Brown is a company specialising is expensive body products that has also released a few average scents. Pleasant enough, but average. And now- who would have thought, a so-called niche line inspired by a tour around the world. Except that the quality of the product is still average. It has not been done before 10 times or 100 times, but a million times. It is woody. That is all I can say about it. The description on my blotter asks me to "follow the ancient spice trail to the island of Indonesia". Well, all I am following is a faint patchouli and nutmeg notes with some watered down incense. There is nothing "exotic, steamy, haunting" about it, more like boring, OK and so-so.
