Giant lotus pads part to make way for buds that pierce the surface of the jade green pond. They raise their faces to the sun, their delicate fragrance floating around them. In the shadow of the flowers, tiny dragonfly nymphs also emerge from the shallows. They spread their fragile wings and shyly take flight, ready to explore a world beyond the water. Shimmering pools of nearby golden rice fields call to the dragonflies. Their long, quivering bodies flit across the cascading terraces to alight upon swaying stalks, sparkling with sunlight caught in droplets on iridescent wings. Like a lotus spreading its petals, Zoologist Dragonfly opens with a rush of beautiful aquatic florals. Hints of rice, powdery iris, and mimosa diffuse from within a lush shroud of green, beneath the intimate aroma of an imminent summer shower. Dragonfly encapsulates the richness and romance of impressionism, a canvas of florals under a watery veil.

Grapefruit, rice, and jasmine sambac in a paddy-field aquatic — vivid and naturalistic.

Editor's Notes

Dragonfly is an aqueous picture: a paddy field of rustling reeds and grains that slice the air like a dragonfly’s wings. A citric burst of grapefruit quickly reveals an aromatic dance that crosses herbal, floral, milky, and spicy effects – from the snappy greens of basil, geranium, and angelica seed to the zesty fire of ginger rapidly softened by rice – a toasted grain that becomes a decadent milk, a salve that is as floral as it is nutty, the bridge leading to floral notes softened in rainwater, releasing their radiant smell in atmospheric watercolour tones as the sky bleeds into the water. Dragonfly’s floral heart is no single note in particular, but a beautiful concentration of tender effects. Soft petals in melodious combination, these come to rest on a musky base enriched with cashmeran, ensuring longevity and a modern feel.
