Inspired by an upward look at the sky one early evening, Fire and Cream is a sinuous, elegant composition with many prismatic transitions from rooted notes of vetiver, sandalwood, and Indonesian patchouli to the twinkling essences of hydro-distilled oranges and their blossoms.
This latest Strange Invisible Perfume once again sets a new precedent in perfumery by the unmatchable purity of its ingredients and the use of hydro-distilled, not mechanically pressed, citrus essential oil in its formulation. With a lustrous, uncompromising palette of essences sourced from the world’s most talented distillers, Balahoutis has masterfully captured the sky’s spectacle in her newest aromatic portrait.
Balahoutis originally created Fire and Cream as a custom formulation for herself.
She says: “One early evening in late summer, I looked at the sky and proclaimed silently, ‘The sky is full of fire and cream.’ Being a perfumer with bright red hair and a pale complexion, ‘Fire and Cream’ seemed a perfect title for a custom perfume I would soon design for myself.”
Inevitably, admirers of this sublime fragrance coaxed her into making it available and so Balahoutis releases Fire and Cream this fall.
Fire and Cream has a classic, old world architecture of base, heart and top notes. A path begins in a warm, earthly setting of vetiver, sandalwood, and patchouli. Rising skyward through the delicate light of white lavender and tuberose, this composition quickens toward a blazing glow of top notes. Upon its finish, the perfume’s every nuance smolders in a fiery sky of hydro-distilled oranges and their blossoms. The nose behind this fragrance is Alexandra Balahoutis.

It’s fairly assertive for an all-natural perfume, starting out like wood drenched in spices and orange oil. I like the opening very much, but wish it lasted longer. As it dries down, I find it to be a skin scent in which lavender dominates, along with a bit of vanilla. At no point is it floral, probably a good thing, but I’m not crazy about the lavender drydown. The scent lasts for a few hours, gradually fading away in a lavender haze. This is one of those fragrances that I love in the beginning, but the honeymoon is over quickly.
Ok, smokey and spicy at first application. My first thought was it had cumin in it. Weirdly alluring. Takes a few minutes for the orange to come forward. I really don't smell any floral notes at all until the scent has been on my skin quite a while and even then, orange & patchouli pretty much dominates. Not overly long lasting. It's not horrible as in I'd rather have a tooth pulled then wear this fragrance but it's just not for me.
