Album Notes & Community Reviews
Originally conceived as an aromatic-musical tie-in for a Parisian fragrance company, this project stands as a curious, innovative precursor to ambient mood music. The orchestral arrangements are exceedingly lush, deploying sweeping strings and wordless choirs to simulate varying olfactory sensations. It represents a vital stepping stone in the development of conceptual orchestral pop.
