" Terror and Magnificence by Beaufort London at Indigo PerfumeryThe third volume in the Revenants series takes inspiration from the works of architect Nicolas Hawksmoor (1661-1736) whose foreboding structures define London&#39;s urban landscape even today.Hawksmoor - referred to as ‘the Devil’s architect’ - continues to provoke interest for his distinctive churches, which introduced elements of Egyptology into traditional ecclesiastical settings. These curious architectural details, and his recent reputation as a Freemason has prompted speculation that occult symbolism influenced his methods, and imbued his designs with an inherent ‘terror and magnificence’.By contrasting darkness with invigorating complexity, perfumer Pia Long has combined a vivid olfactory impression of the man, his works and his myth. Accords of Somalian Incense, dry woods and wet stone meld with opium smoke, papyrus and kyphi, underpinned by a base of Haitian vetiver and precious resins. The product’s packaging bears a representation of Hawksmoor’s celebrated work – Christ Church Spitalfields in East London. ﻿ Top Notes: Saffron, Black pepper, Birch TarHeart Notes: Papyrus, Tobacco, Incense, Kyphi accordBase Notes: Benzoin, Damp stones, Haitian Vetiver, Labdanum, Myrrh50 ml.
