Bergamot and lemon over vetiver
Hanuman celebrates the Chinese Year of the Monkey. Hanuman is a much-loved and revered Hindi deity, a loyal companion of Rama, an essential avatar of Vishnu. This most sacred of animals has become increasing visible in religious iconography, representing loyalty, optimism, heroism, strength, all tinted with a sprinkling of playful mischief.
The perfume is sublime; an unexpected mix of tangy citrus, sensual indolic blooms and a wonderful base of robust woods and ambered musk’s. Vetiver suggests both the greenness of canopies and roots.
There is impish hide and seek in the composition, a sense of freshness and sun-dappled flowers glowing on a ground of woody calm. The lemon note, more lemonade than acidic wince has a lovely duration. Normally the volatility and small size of citrus notes means they fizz off quickly at the top of perfumes, in Hanuman however, lemon, blood orange, bergamot and blackcurrant filter down through the composition, the juicy orange in particular illuminating the bridge into the intricate marigold-tinged bouquet at the heart of the perfume, this connects to a woody vetiver base with flickers of warm amber and musks.
Hanuman is a blast to wear, full of joyous flowers, hesperidic joy and optimism. Brimming with cheeky attraction and brightness, it is a perfume to elicit smiles and a touch of flirtatious confidence.
