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?
While creating Kleinood i, we learned to think in scents. Rediscovering the garden, the forest, the mountain, the sky, the heat, the river and every moment of every summer afternoon, and winter storm on this little farm. Spring and autumn were no longer times of colouful abundance, but brought its own aromatic joys.
As with light and colours, places bear different scents at different times of the day and year. The dam wall has a different, lighter aroma in the morning, when there is dew on the leaves and the soil is cool and damp, than in the late afternoon when the air is heavy with oils and dust.
that early light
that sky
that heat
that lonely cloud
that field with bees
in flowers
the slowness
of that yellow
setting sun
and balmy dusks
and hushed
and heavy
almost airless
deeply scented nights
that luscious sense
of summer
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 pink peppercorn, black pepper, rose and vetiver.
This multi-floral and extremely sensuous composition leans towards musky rose and orris close to the skin.
The waxy floral heart situated around earth, fynbos and cedar is underpinned by an innocent florally summer sweetness.
The slight aroma of powdery musk adds a mysterious and sultry quality reminiscent of the sumptuousness of vintage silks, old velvet and warm summer nights to this very unique perfume.
