In this new Masternose episode, the Nose team draws a distinction that's often overlooked: a holiday fragrance is not a summer fragrance. One follows notes, the other follows moments.
Summer vs Holiday: Two Different Logics
A summer fragrance — as defined by the Nose diagnosis — relies on citrusy and green notes, fresh and light. A holiday fragrance also belongs to the summer group, but follows a different logic: that of place, of a moment, of memory. Napping under a fig tree, sensing the Corsican maquis, listening to the sea without seeing it.
Four Holiday Fragrance Directions
The Nose diagnosis distinguishes four main orientations for holiday fragrances: Maquis (aromatic herbs, resins, garrigue), Seashore (sea spray, sand, iodised air), Bush/Beach (dense vegetation, dry heat), and Exotic Fruit or Milky. Four ways to encode a memory.
