Athenaeum is the distillation of a once forgotten olfactory memory, awakened upon a chance encounter at the local athenaeum. It is the fragmented and hazy reminiscence of a rural childhood found once more in the urban landscape.
Upon entering the athenaeum one is struck by the overwhelming aroma of degrading pulp and ink, shrouded in a haze of sun-kissed dust. Without haste, the smell transports you to arable mid-summer fields and days lost in swaying pastures, nose buried in hundreds of papery leaves in dense mulchy woodland. Like gauzy sunshine whistling through rugged lands, Athenaeum is as comforting as it is solitary. A fragrance perfectly crafted for reflection.
What We Think
A sunny, full-bodied spicy floral with a rich balsamic leather base, Athenaeum makes a compelling unisex statement.
