Winter’s Heated Breath - Pablo - Curionoir - Tiffany Witehira 2018
‘Others have seen what is and asked why, I have seen what could be and asked why not’ Pablo Picasso.
A quote that speaks in voluminous tone of the residing of Winter as it entombs Life in frozen coils, in these words the breath of hope. Risen from the tumultuous genius of Pablo Picasso, in turn the explorer of the extrovert and introvert, no stranger to the ebb and tides of the year mirrored in self. Tiffany Witehira of Auckland based perfume house, Curionoir, gifts Pablo. A lucid dance on skin, it bears witness to a promise of change, the only constant, evidenced in the course of the river of Pablo’s life. Lemon, Frankincense, Freesia and Mimosa entrance and arrive to instantly cheer and with every scent, a footfall thaws beneath my tread. In time, the warmth exudes to continue the vow to dispel Wintry chills. Even in what we fear and retreat from are the seeds of the redemption.

Cuban Tobacco Leaves, softly smoky and smouldering and Coriander light up an inner embering to see through the months of glacial stillness. Solace is enduring, a misty exhale of Vanilla and Tonka Beans painted on the palate of air around me, brushstrokes on canvas of Wintry Breath.
Notes: Lemon frankincense, freesia, mimosa, Cuban tobacco leaf, vanilla absolute, tonka beans.
