Micro-expressive films for a perfume brand based out of Brooklyn.
Radio Bombay – Transistor radio hewn of sandalwood radiates ragas in the Bandra heat. Hot copper tubes warm the soft wood releasing blooms of musk, cream, peach, ambrette, coco, cedar distillates.
Rose Atlantic – Spritzers aboard the famous Salt Spray Rose. Sinatra’s summer wind, dune-grass in the distance, rose-hip, the white lighthouse.
Burning Barber Shop – A fire broke out in the Curling Bros. barbershop in Westlake, N.Y. in 1891. All the shaving tonics with their spearmint, lime, vanilla and lavender burned. A charred bottle was found half-full. It smelled like this.
FreeTrapper – Beaver trappers were the cowboys of early America. Renegade mountaineers of the Jacksonian era who cut trails through the wild in search of beaver pelts–prized by hatters, doctors, and perfumers. Dark cedar, snake root, synthetic beaver castor, and wild bergamot.
