Imaginary Authors O, Unknown! Eau de Parfum

Size

At age 65, when famed explorer and author Philip Sava was given less than a year to live, he set off from his home in Madagascar for parts unknown. Leaving all his belongings behind, he set off on foot, hopped a freighter across the Indian Ocean, and wandered into the Bangladeshi wilderness. His journey, which lasted over a decade, took him through Nepal and Tibet, where his exploration turned spiritual and into rural China, where months of solitude resulted in some of the most confessional observations ever committed to paper. This is the story of a man grappling with the meaning of life as he grasps at life’s last vestiges.

EDITOR'S NOTES

Esoteric but not impossible to decipher, O’Unknown works unusual combinations and sensations together. It asks us to imagine a fresh dryness, deafening silence, absent presence, cool warmth - doing so through a quiet blend of dry and desiccated tea, wood, moss, root and balsamic notes - all of this carried on vapours of steam. Attention must be paid to the paradox of orris butter, which indeed smells fresh even when it dries, imparting a texture to a fragrance unachievable through any other means. Its powdery and crinkly woodiness is expressive but at times fragile, more like lace than timber. O’Unknown is a scent to meditate with, to fuse with, asking you to proceed slowly, understanding every dimension of this old woody fragrance that at times calls to mind the mossy heart of a chypre, and even the simmering burn of an amber fragrance. It is melancholic but hopeful; uncertain but determined.
