Loon
A mineral breeze over Punjab pink salt. Cypress and edelweiss open cold and crystalline, then rose and jasmine sambac bloom through frankincense smoke, settling into vetiver, Himalayan cedar and a saline trace.
Perfumer: Bertrand Duchaufour
Loon takes its inspiration from the pink salt of Punjab, mined deep in the Himalayan rock. The salt glints with rose-coloured hues, and the official description sets it against delicate blushing rose petals, like moonlight on a miner's skin.
The opening is cold and crystalline: cypress, edelweiss and a snow accord. Then rose and jasmine sambac bloom, wrapped in the smoke of frankincense, carrying something of a harvest festival's chanted air.
The drydown turns mineral. Vetiver and Himalayan cedarwood give a dry woody spine, while a pink salt accord leaves a saline trace on the skin. The flowers stay close, softened rather than erased.
Officially classed as floral, woody and marine, Loon is a 50ml Eau de Parfum composed by Bertrand Duchaufour. It suits those who want rose and jasmine with smoke and salt rather than sweetness alone.
