Contradictions In ILK
The city sleeps, but nature never does. An olfactory glimpse at nature’s blossoming flora in close proximity, bristle to cheek, with the human experience of city living as the sun rises on a new day.
Ripe, generous, flourishing, lush, and verdant – nature in the city is defiant and all the more intoxicating for it. Morning dew adorns the cool green ivy on the sun-soaked balcony, and the marsh marigolds dance to the hum of the bees overhead. The generous magnolia, honeyed and citrus, contrasting with patchouli's proud musky earthiness, jointly tremor as they release their scent into the warm still air. Fruity green geranium, lush grassy vetiver, resinous yet aromatic cardamon, and sensual oakmoss sing in perfect harmony.
Have a look at Nature's contradicting paired scent, Human. Each pair is harmoniously crafted so that each highlights and subdues certain qualities of the other to create a unique third or fourth scent depending on which way round you layer.
