By Daphne Moss Fragrances want to be created. The ability to capture a mood, a personality, a tiny eon of time in a small bottle of liquid is not only gratifying…it is magic. But when we think of a fragrance wanting to be created it is not about making something up. It’s about capturing something already there. “Whenever I strive to “think something up”, writing becomes something I must ’stretch” to achieve. It becomes loftier than I am, perhaps even something so lofty it is beyond my grasp.” Whenever on the other hand, I am focused about just getting something down, I have a sense of attention, but not a sense of strain.” (The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron) (Why am I quoting a writing book? >>) When you think about the great works of art of any form (writing, painting, sculpting) most times the artist has set about trying to communicate something, a message, a story, a memory, a feeling. It was not just about making something up. And so it is too with creating perfume. Creativity is about capturing something, putting it down for the world to experience it too. Your last vacation? What was it like? What did it smell like? Do you even remember? If you had to create a perfume called “New York”, what scents would you try to communicate? You could go in one direction and blend a perfume reminiscent of garbage, car exhaust and the industrial smell of the subway train. But you could also Capture the essence of the flower stand in Soho, or the incense burning in the air at the Harlem street market. You get the idea. This sudden sense of direction can make creating an adventure to both your nose and your imagination. That handsome man that you run into every morning at Starbucks, how can you capture HIM in a bottle?
