Pluto’s plight was to rule the UNDERWORLD: the final destination for the dead but also DEEP EARTH the place of riches and opulence abundant with precious jewels, oil, minerals and resources and the earth necessary for a bountiful harvest. Brother to the King of the Gods Jupiter, PLUTO was a powerful and magnetic personality. “The idea was to build a black patchouli, with a furry texture as black as the panther. It starts with pink and black pepper blended with citrus for a fresh dark top note enhancing the camphor notes of patchouli. I played with a suede leather accord with a smoky twist and rich smoked precious woods to create a synergy between resins and woods and strengthen the character of musk. I softened that with a blend of cistus, labdanum extracts and other amber notes to give the furry and smooth signature. Bits of carnation (spicy rose character) and other floral elements are enriching the fragrance to give it depth and structure.” Kévin Mathys
