Beach holidays, real and imagined.

Unsettled" was an exciting group show at the Nevada Museum of Art about a large geographical area, including the South Pacific. When the curator commissioned me to make a fragrance, I decided to model the scent on the idea of a cocktail, which makes something delicious by unifying spirits and flavors from around the world.

I began by searching for a base note from this area and discovered the surprising history of trade between Pacific islanders and Australian colonizers for native sandalwood trees. This history also involved trade with China for black tea.

In our time, local islanders in New Caledonia now grow sustainable sandalwood that is helping to reduce the deforestation of this now endangered tree. That essential oil is used in Unsettled.

From there, it was a direct line towards a tropical cocktail, folding the crisp black tea into a gourmand fragrance that includes fruity pineapple and a light marine note.
