Every morning, I go on a faux commute to Coal Harbour, to watch the aquaplanes take off and land. The marine aspect of the city haunts me, and the notion of taking a plane to one of the islands captures my imagination. Life is brief, like the trail that the plane leaves in its wake. And once we take off, there will be no trace left in the water.
Although Coal Harbour is the last in the Perfume4aPlace series, it is in fact the one I've conceived first. And as my time to go on my next adventure and leave this city approaches - the handkerchief I will be waving will smell of low tide, jet fuel, fresh cut grass and linden blossoms.
Top notes: Galbanum, Mimosa, Elemi

Malabi, the queen of Middle Eastern summer desserts, is a milk pudding served chilled and bejewelled by a fragrant rosy syrup. But what always captured the perfumer's imagination the most about malabi was its soft, evocatively sounding name, and its unique fragrant combination of rosewater and neroli. Two noble flowers, yet so distinctively different that it's surprising they would ever get along at all. Rose is open, voluptuous, sweet and feminine. Neroli is prim and proper, restrained, clean, ethereal and otherworldly that you'd be surprised it grows on a tree. And what holds these two together is nothing but pure, botanical musk. This gentle deer-musk-like accord doesn't need arrows, and plays the harp better than cupid: it walks silently and pulls all the strings with effortless fluidity.
Top notes: Bitter Orange, Blood Orange, Cardamom, Coriander
Heart notes: Neroli (Tunisia), Orange Blossom Absolute, Rose Absolute (Bulgaria), Rose Absolute (Turkey),

This equinox night is as warm as daylight itself. A breeze from distant countries brings in the scent of citrus orchards. We are walking in a dream, in our respective home countries: A courtyard in West Amman. An Orchard in Old Jaffa. A garden in Aleppo. Common scents that overcome all worldly conflicts.
Savoured the salty sea air. Faces buried in the white blooming foliage of Clematis armandii and soft hair. We're overcome by a shower of meteorites; Nostrils drowned by the dreamy orange blossom scent. Sitting under wild cherry trees, whose white petals fall one by one into the black pond. Even this beautiful moment will soon disappear into the bleak past.
'Smile to me when you cry', you say. 'so I can see the real you'. The windows to my soul bleeding and shining at the same time.
We will never forget that night. It was equal to the day. It was warm. And after this night the days will be longer and lonelier. Painfully sober save for a sip of tears and a puff of clematis breath of this black heart perfume.
This new perfume is a blank slate in the shape of a black heart upon which you can write and re-write your lover's past, present and future.
