Film Noir

Film Noir

Scent Profile:  Like characters in the genre, Film Noir is mysterious and seductive with a beautiful darkness.  This leading lady scent blends moody top notes of Bergamot and Geranium with middle notes of Black Violet and Rose.  As counterpoint, the hardboiled detective base notes remain ever the indulgent and densely layered aromas of saffron, vetiver and a hint of smoke and leather.

The Inspiration:  The first movie I identified as Film Noir was Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner (1982).  I was floored by the high contrast imagery; the angularity in every shot; and of course, the philosophical questions it raised. This movie initiated me to the Film Noir of the 1940s and 50s, to dark alleys and gritty streets, gals in trouble, and fast-talking gumshoes down on their luck. 

Film Noir is a marbelized 100 percent soy wax candle, reflecting the high contrast imagery and moods of its namesake genre.
