Clematis flowers have no odour and so historically (like classic orchid bases,) they are fantasy creations. This Fraterworks base is a restoration of the wonderous Roure Clematis b ase of the 1930s which was used by Jean Carles in combination with his Fleur de Tabac base to construct Shocking for Schiaparelli in 1937, a wild perfume built around a heat of pink florals. It is from this fashion house and fragrance that the colour “shocking pink” was born. Wonderfully floral, rich and aldehydic, this clematis base would find a home in a modern fragrance as easily as it did the classics of yesteryear. Show more
