7+1
An aromatic woody fragrance
translating Mark Rothko's N°8 - White Stripe (1958)

7+1 is inspired by work Number 8, by the most lyrical of abstract expressionists, Mark Rothko, capable of encapsulating the trait of emotion in color, just like the fragrance
that represents its essence!

The tale opens with bewitching top notes: Indian black pepper, saffron and nutmeg, which fade without contours and like light in a painting.

Followed by an exhilarating transition with red fruits and rose resting on the sweetness of caramelised sugar As it evolves, the fragrance becomes persuasive, carrying us with skillful nuance towards the bright, blood-red of the work.

Seductively vivid and warm in a satisfying comfort of the senses are the precious essences of woods, oudh and frankincense, supported by ambergris.

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Number 8 – Mark Rothko

With his paintings, Rothko has unlocked the emotional power of colors. Through canvases of floating forms and glowing, suspended rectangles, Rothko sought to create a profound connection between artist, canvas, and viewer, expressing basic human emotions with colors.
Rothko's favorite storyline was the color Red; its intensity, its primal qualities, its vibration and purity all appealed to him. This is well translated into N°8, White Stripe.
