The Creation
Sweet and floral lavender teamed with the bright citrus of bergamot and a touch of pimento spice create the fragrance of New York in winter. Combine the strength of leather, rare in scents, but known for a distinct smoky allure, with the warmth of amber and musk, and you have a fragrance of New York in summer.
Dry tobacco leaf, extraordinarily so, enhances the sweet earthy notes of New York’s Central Park and Hudson River masterpieces, while tonka bean adds a golden sweetness to enrich the woody undertones of guaiacwood and patchouli that give this scent its luxury aroma.
Melbourne Oil (formerly New York) by kirri brings you every season of the best parts of New York in one small aroma oil bottle, ready to be used in your chosen kirri home diffuser to bring a touch of the city to your home.
Melbourne is a fragrance oil that is perfect for a premium room fragrance as a luxury room spray, and is especially valuable for those looking for an interior scent that reminds you of five-star comfort.
The Inspiration
When one strolls alone through city streets and finds themselves amongst tree-lined paths in the cold of winter and the dead of night, you might assume the darkness of the trees would halt you in your tracks.
But the city that never sleeps, the big apple, the concrete jungle, and the bright lights from looming skyscrapers would all surmount to something inspiring if he just keeps walking and following his nose.
Through luminous and luxurious stores lit by the bright lights of the city, he couldn’t help but feel his senses were overjoyed with the delights he could indulge in. Oh, how the senses would run wild in a place filled with food, delicacies, and aromas one could usually only imagine.
Stepping out into nature, the breeze had a bite to it, a chill so biting he would long to bite into the warmth of something with the taste of summer.
Daydreaming of citrus scents, oranges, honey, and bergamot, while the scents of mildew and moss were ever-present on the tall and dying trees. It was confusing but pleasant, feeling warm from thoughts alone on a night most would only feel the chill.
Needing rest and sitting on a bench beside a stranger, the roasting scent of a cinnamon chai latte nestled in the stranger’s cold hands would warm his bones enough to keep him going just a little bit further.
Suddenly salivating at the thought of all these honey-like sweet treats, summer no longer felt so far away. Though distant and subtle, with a strong gust blowing the lavender scent, like the scent of home, from Governor’s Island across the bay, the intense combination of summer and winter made sense.
With his wet leather boots trudging through the damp of nature’s mildewy gifts, the Master Perfumer was now gladly decided on all the cold and warm scents invading his senses. This, he thought, is the opulence, the nature, the extravagance, and the sophistication of New York that he would remember. This is the part of New York that he will take home.
That is what inspired the master perfumer at kirri to create the Melbourne Oil aroma. This rich and pure fragrance is compatible and available to use with a kirri Micro, Element, Beacon or Pillar diffuser, reed diffusers, wood diffusers, and air diffusers as a fragrance oil for an exquisitely scented home.
