Products in the “CHROMA Collection” Category
Blue-Green : Arnica
Breezy. Humid. Verdant.
The scent equivalent of DaVinci’s ‘bluing effect of atmosphere” or the sense of atmosphere in the Pacific Northwest. The subtle scent of conifers with the mineral laden quality of ocean air.
Celadon: A Velvet Green
Budding. Plush. Tender.
A sheer and ‘frosted’ green tonality expressed in scent form without the conventional sharp edges found in green fragrances. A soft and green variation on a chypre – fougere theme.
Cyan
Ethereal. Winged. Pixiliated.
Created for Sniffapalooza Spring Fling 2009, Cyan is an airy, refreshing light blue-green aroma color interpretation. Inspired by the ultra modern bluish color in the CMYK color printing spectrum.
Kohl Gris
Inspired by a collaboration with 3 Custom Color Specialists, this aroma-color is “Charcoal Grey”. The colors for Holiday 2009 are silver, red and grey and Kohl Gris is the scent of the smoky eye; sexy, seductive and smoldering. Built on a classical base of ambergris, Kohl Gris wafts in sensuality and spicy smoke.
Prince
Regal. Esoteric. Ominous.
I came across an obscure yet prized 17th Century textile color called Prince and was immediately captivated. It was described as an ‘indigo-blue-black shot through with crimson red’. Designed in a 17th Century fragrance style, Prince is the only ‘aroma-color’ to be free of a modern feel.

Quinacridone Violet
Neon. Shocking. Fantastic.
The aroma-color based on an intense man-made fuschia-pink-purple artist hue (pigment).
Sienna (A Cinnamon Perfume)
Redolent. Distinctive. Tempting.
The aroma of ‘burnt sienna’, a warm earth tone pigment. An inspiration for “Sienna” is Picasso’s cubist work “Three Women”.
* sample vials are 1/2 filled.
The CHROMA Collection Box
CHROMA: color series color series 1 + 2: color translations from the artistic to the obscure. These perfumes are pure, spontaneous emotion; just as pure color is. This series of perfumes is a new form of abstract aroma-art: synesthesia in a bottle.
The Color Orange
Exuberant. Youthful. Bold.
Exactly as you would imagine: a pop of bright orange color in your mind. The expression of the color orange in scent form. One of the inspirations for “the color orange” is Mark Rothko’s “no.12, c.1951″.
Umber: bois de rose
Secretive. Aesthetic. Spellbinding.
Inspired by the deep, moody earth tones of umber, as well as the enigmatic Renaissance image “The Tempest” by Giorgione. Umber: bois de rose is most certainly for lovers of the sensually strange not of the perfume novice. The subtitle of bois de rose connotes a deep rosy/ woody / violet nuance made to sparkle with true bois de rose in the topnote.
*EdP sample vials are 1/2 filled.
Viridian
Organic. Sultry. Enchanted.
Based on a semi-transparent, green-blue-green artist hue (paint). A abstract green scent that speaks of dark woods and deep forest floors.
* sample vials are 1/2 filled.
