Launching in March, new house Nasengold debuts a fragrance with the slightly anonymous name #S.
The fragrance is based around the component "lie de vin" which after some googling I've learnt is Lees: Solids-including spent yeast cells, grape pulp and seeds-that settle out of a wine during fermentation and aging.
From http://nasengold.com:
"What makes this fragrance special is the use of lie de vin, a natural product that has formed part of the perfumer´s palette for more than 100 years. The idiosyncratic yeasty, fruity aroma of this valuable product, the result of cognac production, has historically been used only in trace amounts.
Christian Lars Plesch has rediscovered it anew and built up a scent around it. In #S lie de vin is not merely an instrument, but the conductor of the whole orchestra.
As the central element lie de vin gives an innovative and distinctive freshness to notes of grapefruit and spices such as pink pepper, cardamom and ginger. This freshness is emphasized and set off with notes of wild rose, amber, musk and cedar."
The Lie de Vin part does sound interesting, and what a cute company name they have chosen, Gold for the Nose
