Hologram
by Neil Morris Fragrances

HOLOGRAM is a synthetic light and translucent floral fragrance. This fragrance has a postmodern edge to it. It is a fast gesture that gets suspended in slow motion. When I deconstruct a whiff of Hologram I find the tartness of Yuzu along with juicy black currant that happens at the opening and is quickly muffled beneath a layer of violets and fig resulting in a languid suspended and thick mid note that feels like a frozen frame of crisp neutrality that is stretched out by the violet. The base adds translucency with a light synthetic musk warmed with amber. All together the notes are fresh but mellow, quick & sharp then neutral. It is similar to Mure et Musc from L'Artisan with the tart berries and light musk notes, but Hologram is slightly thicker and more suspended towards the end. Hologram is a good name for the effect of the notes. It is a curiosity of a scent that could easily hold great fascination for someone who needs this sort of thing.
