Fire and Cream

Fire and Cream by Strange Invisible Perfumes is a Citrus Aromatic fragrance for women. The nose behind this fragrance is Alexandra Balahoutis. Top notes are African Orange Flower and Orange; middle notes are Tuberose, Olibanum and Lavender; base notes are Vetiver, Patchouli and Sandalwood. Inspired by an upward look at the sky one early evening, Fire and Cream is a sinuous, elegant composition with many prismatic transitions from rooted notes of vetiver, sandalwood, and Indonesian patchouli to the twinkling essences of hydro-distilled oranges and their blossoms.This latest Strange Invisible Perfume once again sets a new precedent in perfumery by the unmatchable purity of its ingredients and the use of hydro-distilled, not mechanically pressed, citrus essential oil in its formulation. With a lustrous, uncompromising palette of essences sourced from the world’s most talented distillers, Balahoutis has masterfully captured the sky’s spectacle in her newest aromatic portrait.Balahoutis originally created Fire and Cream as a custom formulation for herself.She says: “One early evening in late summer, I looked at the sky and proclaimed silently, ‘The sky is full of fire and cream.’ Being a perfumer with bright red hair and a pale complexion, ‘Fire and Cream’ seemed a perfect title for a custom perfume I would soon design for myself.”Inevitably, admirers of this sublime fragrance coaxed her into making it available and so Balahoutis releases Fire and Cream this fall.Fire and Cream has a classic, old world architecture of base, heart and top notes. A path begins in a warm, earthly setting of vetiver, sandalwood, and patchouli. Rising skyward through the delicate light of white lavender and tuberose, this composition quickens toward a blazing glow of top notes. Upon its finish, the perfume’s every nuance smolders in a fiery sky of hydro-distilled oranges and their blossoms.
