Night Sky
I really appreciate how transparently Peter deals with the genesis of his fragrances. How well he explains where the idea for the fragrance came from, what motivated him. Proxima now is the scent of an alien world. Motivated by the artwork of a piece of music by Tracey Chattaway, called Night Sky. A small spacetraveler, still wearing his helmet, stands at the edge of a crater and looks down on an alien metropolis. Everything seems peaceful and the song itself, is almost spherical.
When Peter´s creative mind creates a scent that fits the image of the little creature above the city (in Night Sky), it seems almost logical that it must be the closest exoplanet to Earth that donated its name. Proxima Centauri b.
Proxima Centauri stands for the star in the center, which this planet (b) orbits.
Not very catchy in all its glory, Peter limits the scent´s name to the first part - and gave it to his first fragrance from the Future Collection. And that closes the circle where Centauri Perfumes got its name from. :)
Now to the fragrance itself, which is created of aroma chemicals. The identity of the blue collection. It starts slightly sour with a very noticeable grapefruit, which is flanked by a slightly sour currant for the first 30 minutes. The fruity note of the berries emerges hesitantly after an hour. Yes, it bursts into the air.
This fresh fruit is now ultra-present and leaves no doubt about the "artificial" construct. I guess it would have been rather improbable, if not almost impossible, to accentuate these nuances with natural substances.
And with this mood, carried by some bright musk and fruit, Peter releases us into the air and dreams of a new world.
That welcomes us.
And smells amazing.
Like springtime on earth.
