A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Nutmeg erupts with almost aggressive vivacity, its warm prickliness amplified by coriander's slightly citric spice—but within seconds, putrescence creeps in like an uninvited guest, introducing a distinctly animalic, fermenting quality that makes the opening genuinely unsettling rather than inviting.
The floral heart attempts respectability as rose and sandalwood emerge, yet the stench note refuses to recede, creating a discordant harmony—like florals blooming atop something ancient and decomposing. The woody accords (gaiac wood particularly) provide a structural scaffold that paradoxically makes this distressing combination feel deliberate, almost beautiful.
Benzoin and oud anchor everything into a leathery, resinous base that grows increasingly animalic and mineral-like, with mildew adding an oddly earthy, slightly damp quality that suggests aged hide rather than fresh skin.
# FLORMAR — CODE BLUE
Code Blue arrives as a provocation rather than a greeting—a fragrance that seems to have crawled out from beneath floorboards rather than descended from a perfumer's organ. The opening assault of nutmeg and coriander should feel appetitive, almost culinary, but Flormar has sabotaged this expectation with the inclusion of putrescence, that rarely-deployed note that suggests organic decay. It's a brilliant perversity: spice notes (which occupy the full 100% accord intensity) immediately undercut by something unsettling, something that makes your nose question whether it's smelling food or its absence.
