My newest fragrance is called "Silent Light", named for a song from the
Chrono Trigger soundtrack.
As any video game fan probably knows,
Chrono Trigger is lauded by many as the best RPG ever produced, and its soundtrack is also well loved. The song in question is a quiet, reflective tune, a little lighthearted but somber. It always used to make me think of being snowed in on a day in the deepest part of winter, with bright morning sunlight streaming through the windows.
That sense of quiet reflection is exactly what I tried to capture in this fragrance.
I used base notes of Virginia cedar and dark amber - cedar for a clean sense of groundedness and dark amber for softness. I used a mid note of fresh linen for a sense of purity and a top note of peach for brightness. My hope was to create a sense of looking out a very bright window in quiet solitude.
I hope I don't sound too egotistical, but I was really happy with how this one turned out. I plan on experimenting with other linen notes in this one as I develop them, but I'm almost afraid to do any more work to this piece. I'm quite pleased already. :)
