Insomnia

Inspiration
Insomnia is about the suspended time of night and the sense of freedom that comes when limits fall away. While everyone sleeps, there is nothing left to check and no urgency: being awake becomes a moment of grace, room for an artistic project, a deep conversation with a friend or an evening that slips away between table and pub.

The Signature of Insomnia
An accord of narcotic flowers, dominated by ylang-ylang and jasmine, evokes the feverish, intellectual beauty of nightlife. A sharp mineral facet recalls tired eyes while the mind refuses to surrender, and deep woods darken the flowers. A subtle dose of indole adds an animalic, ambiguous sensuality.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
Insomnia is, for us, a scent that reveals itself slowly, with a nocturnal, exhilarating character that lingers. On the skin the scent opens with bergamot and black pepper, bright and inviting during the first half hour. Then ylang-ylang and jasmine take over and the composition reveals its true character. After three to four hours it settles into sandalwood and cedarwood, a soft, personal finish that lingers well into the day on skin and clothing. We like to wear it best in autumn and winter, in the evening and at dinner. A scent for night owls and lovers of narcotic white flowers with woods.
