Hora Fugit is a meditation on the passage of time. Like a solitary dhow gliding across eastern waters, it follows the unhurried journey of a timeless merchant. A fragrance of contemplation and adventure, equally suited to women and men. It captures both the spirit of memory and the present moment. For aesthetes who know that true luxury means taking one's time.
Olfactory signature
A masterful woody composition, dry yet enveloping, evolving from aromatic freshness to an irresistibly leathery warmth.
Top notes: A lively opening like a sea breeze. Bergamot illuminates a powerful aromatic duo of lavandin and bay leaf, evoking sun-warmed Mediterranean vegetation.
Heart notes: The soul of the boat is revealed. An architecture of noble woods, with dry cedar and creamy sandalwood mingling with earthy patchouli and vetiver.
Base notes: The journey ends on a sensual, weathered accord. Leather and nutmeg bring a spicy, animalic nuance, softened by the balsamic roundness of benzoin.
Fragrance family: Spicy, leathery woods.
The art object
This traveller's trail is sealed inside Atelier Flou's signature bottle, inspired by nineteenth-century travelling inkwells. Like a treasure chest brought home from a distant expedition, the bottle protects its precious essences. Its weight and cool texture contrast with the spicy warmth within.
