Before Christmas I was invited to an event by ECC100 Records and Lush cosmetics showcasing Gorilla Perfumes new range Volume 2 and songs created to accompany them, the perfumes are visualised around ancient stone circles and the nature surrounding them, the website describing them as;
“a collection of perfumes inspired by prehistoric
stone monuments and man's relationship with nature.
A sensual experience combining fragrance and music in
the beautiful Dorset countryside.”
This was the first time I went to an event like this I was so nervous but the team who organised it and the other bloggers there made me feel welcome. The night kicked off with drinks and introductions then we were led into a cinema where John Metcalfe and Simon Richmond played the songs they has created to go along side the perfumes, along with some visuals on the big screen. All the while the different scents were passed around the room as the matching song played for them.
For me the scents were extremely strong, they really did fit the bill as being completely in one with nature, everything about them screamed earthy scents, but they are a bit to strong for me, I really struggle with to strongly smelling scents; especially floral ones. But the whole presentation of the perfumes and the music accompanying was amazing, they really are gorgeous scents whether I like them or not, and i'm sure a guy on the tube was wearing one the other day. If you like heady natural, floral scents then I would highly recommend these. As well as the perfumes we were also given a vinyl copy of the albums that go hand in hand with the perfumes, and I really love the songs, and the album art is gorgeous.
Thank you for reading.
