Plum Cream

The inspiration behind Obvious Parfums' new Kakigori series- a unique trio of distinctive fragrances- draws from the Japanese art of finding beauty in the ephemeral nature of the present moment. And kakigori is a perfect representation of the fleeting nature of all things: a traditional Japanese frozen dessert that long predates refrigeration, made from snow carefully collected from the heights of Mount Fuji topped with syrups, fruit, or tea, available only as a treasure to those lucky enough to afford such a rarity. Designed to layer together or wear individually, this collection invites you to craft an olfactory moment all your own- one that's all the more meaningful in its transience.

Rounding out this unique trilogy, Plum Cream reinterprets the traditional Japanese plum dish known as umeboshi, which sees a plum thoroughly macerated in salt before serving. This process reveals rich umami, the famed "fifth flavor," which is captured in perfumery through the salted plum note enhanced with a distinct combination of rum, davana, and cistus labdanum, which blend together to reveal a complex fruit-infused leather that hums with potent sensuality. Worn alone, it's rich, warm, and sexy, but paired with White Crush, the clean dimensionality of the snow-themed base fragrance activates the suppler side of the leather, softening it into a luxurious suede with fruit, rose, and musk for an unforgettable combination.
