Terroir Parfum of Kleinood Farm by de Boerin
On Kleinood Farm we have always put terroir first in the wine we make. So too, it is ever present in our olive oil, verjus and honey. Why then, if one could taste terroir, could one not wear it and smell it and smell of it?
On a balmy summer afternoon, walking along the dam wall surrounded by the heavy scents of Cape Fynbos and indigenous grasses, we were seduced into the project that was to become de Boerin Parfum.
Kleinood i was about capturing the sensual experience of Kleinood Farm, with all it stands for, through the scent that hung in the air at that moment and on so many other late afternoons. Not only to capture the scent, but also, the heat, the breeze, the sounds, the peacefulness and the warm nurturing soil underfoot.
Working with essential oils and experiencing the birth of a perfume that was, in essence, a place and moment on Kleinood, made us acutely aware of the textures and scents and aromas of every new bud or drying leaf.
The landscape we were moving in became alive in a whole new way. The farm became so much more than what it was until then and every little patch had the potential of telling a story…
bountiful blooms
under cobalt skiers
seeding grass
in heavy heat
and dry soil
underfoot
gentle air
and light
and laughter
of barefoot
girls on swings
in hats
and floral frocks
and endless
slowly sinking
summer afternoons
Notes:
A terroir driven perfume inspired and composed around the natural qualities and attributes of Kleinood Farm.
It was created from only pure and unmodified essential oils of fynbos, cardamom, atlas cedar, patchouli, rose & citrus.
The focus of this multi-floral, overtly feminine creation gently veers towards the white floral with introductory notes of orange blossom.
The slightly sweet opening calms down to a soapy powderiness.
Layered over the sexy indolic opening notes, the scent leans into the softeness of a freshly watered garden rose.
The underlying headiness and green herby bitterness are both supported and enhanced by aromas of earth and hay slowly fading into a lengthy powdery, dry finish.
