This article is the transcription of EPI 038. Review of 3 perfumes
[Beginning of transcription]
↳ Today, for the first time on the podcast, I'm going to review three perfumes.
↳ This is because Jarilo, my brand of handmade scented candles and sponsor of this podcast, is entering a new phase.
↳ It was my interest in perfumery and the curiosity to know how perfumes are made that led me to create this program, scented candles, and, of course, specifically Jarilo. Always with the vision of creating my own perfume brand, entirely designed by me, in the future.
↳ But until then, while we don't create our own perfumes, it makes perfect sense to work with other brands, brands that inspire us, to expand our offering and bring our audience a careful curation of perfumes.
↳ The first brand I chose to work with is Mê-zôn Má-tine. This brand has always represented a great inspiration for Jarilo.
↳ Each Mê-zôn Má-tine bottle has a beautiful, colorful, and vibrant illustration.
↳ Furthermore, Mê-zôn Má-tine is a brand that is not afraid to be expressive, positively exaggerated, and to occupy its space. It is a brand that does not lose its identity in an attempt to be premium.
↳ It is also a relatively more unknown, reserved brand, and therefore relatively unknown compared to, for example, Chá-nél and Guêrr-lãn, and it is with this type of profoundly original brands that I aspire to work.
↳ I want, at the beginning of this new phase of Jarilo, to introduce our followers and customers to a range of perfumes beyond the mainstream.
↳ From Mê-zôn Má-tine's 'wake up collection' -- a collection that consists of 11 perfumes in total -- Jarilo initially chose three to present to our audience, these being:
The perfume Into the wild,
the perfume Nature Insolence,
and the perfume Arashi no Umi.
↳ Regarding the perfume Into the Wild, Mê-zôn Má-tine states that the top notes are: cardamom, juniper berries, pepper; the heart notes: ginger, magnolia, frangipani, and the base note: chocolate.
↳ I chose this perfume, firstly because I liked it a lot. I immediately felt the ginger in the opening, and for me, this is an extremely comforting note -- but what I liked most was the fact that this perfume is fresh but warm at the same time.
↳ It can be used when our desire is to feel a certain breadth and freshness, but also when what we seek is a good narrowness of comfort around us.
↳ When trying to visualize what texture this perfume would have if it were an object, I imagine the shape of a crystal. I like to do this exercise of taking the perfume out of its immediate context, to understand what other sensory information it can offer me in parallel to what would be most immediate and obvious.
↳ If this perfume were a place, it would be a dense forest, late in the afternoon, and if it were an animal, it would be a tiger -- but here I am completely influenced by the beautiful illustration on the perfume packaging -- it's not very easy to make these evaluations completely devoid of preconceptions.
↳ I imagine that the ideal person to wear this perfume would be someone with an eclectic taste, someone who has several references for everything.
↳ A person with a carefully considered but not excessive style, and therefore always comfortable in themselves, a personality neither maximalist nor minimalist. A person who lives happily in the coastal city, but who visits more inland refuge places whenever possible.
↳ For me, emotionally, it is a perfume that brings me back to the familiarity of myself, whenever I feel distant from who I truly am. And I also use it for moments of reconnection with those dear and close to me, for example during a simple social lunch, at that new restaurant located two blocks from home.
↳ Regarding Nature Insolence, Mê-zôn Má-tine states that the top notes are: orange, lemon, bergamot; the heart notes: lily of the valley, mint, melon; and the base notes: vetiver, cedar, musk.
↳ I chose this perfume, also because I like it and because it has one of my favorite scents: the smell of freshly cut grass; although the brand does not mention this note, it is what I can smell right at the opening.
↳ Emotionally, this perfume gives me energy. It is an aromatic complex that gives me an immense desire to go explore the world.
↳ Imagining what texture this perfume would have if it were an object, I imagine the vegetable texture, of an extremely vibrant green, of the leaf of a lush plant swaying in the wind.
↳ If this perfume were a place, it would be the breezy peak of a mountain range, early in the morning, with the dew still hanging on the leaves of the trees.
↳ And if it were an animal, it would be simply a dragonfly, fluttering over the small puddles remaining from the night that passed.
↳ I imagine that the ideal person to wear this perfume would be someone with an athletic lifestyle, who spends their free time on long walks in nature, either alone or with family, ending the exercise with a picnic with the children.
↳ Regarding Arashi no Umi, Mê-zôn Má-tine states that the top notes are: green apple, freesia, peach; the heart notes: jasmine, Damascena rose, ylang; and the base notes: Virginia cedar, firsantol, musk.
↳ I chose it for Jarilo's curation because I fell in love with it. It is a simple floral, and florals are my favorite family. This is a super adaptable and magical perfume, which can be worn every single day on any occasion.
↳ Emotionally, I apply this perfume when I don't want to expend energy thinking about what I'm going to wear: when I choose this perfume, I know I won't go wrong: it's a safe, perfect choice.
↳ When imagining what texture this perfume would have if it were an object, I imagine a very fine fragrant powder, full of simplicity and softness, like a pearly makeup to put on the face. This aromatic complex is a perfect second skin.
↳ If this perfume were a place, it would be a store of beautiful silk dresses, a place to visit on Saturday afternoons.
↳ And if it were an animal, it would be a ghost rabbit, white, luminous, made of warm, fluffy mist.
↳ I imagine that the ideal person to wear this perfume would be someone with a light and fun spirit. Someone who seeks perfection in what is purest and simplest, someone who likes those small details that bring relevance and make our existence profound.
↳ In the next episode, we will return to the pending projects we have.
↳ Jarilo is about to launch this new collection — three perfumes from Mê-zôn Má-tine -- and whoever is in our WhatsApp community will have early access and special conditions. I will leave the respective link in the episode notes.
