International Klein Blue Extrait de Parfum
Parfum Extrait
Notes:
Yuzu Absolute, Buddha’s Hand, Jasmine Grandiflorum, Clary Sage Absolute, Lavender, Cardamom, Ginger, Cypress, Juniper, Orris Butter, Green Apple, Golden Ambergris, Mysore Sandalwood, Fir Balsam Absolute, Vetiver, PatchouliDescription:
You could call it a blue fragrance, though that would be like calling lapis lazuli a “nice rock.” What you are smelling here is color incarnate. This is International Klein Blue, the ultrachromatic hue Yves Klein used to paint the sky. You do not wear this fragrance; you disappear into it, letting the hue surround you completely.
The fragrance opens with an eruption of Yuzu Absolute and Buddha’s Hand, two intense citrus notes that arc across the skin like solar flares, sending bright, ionized rays of zest through every nerve. These top notes are vibrant and precise, like fruit as sacred geometry. Jasmine Grandiflorum follows, a jasmine unspooled at midnight, touched with salt, cooled by Clary Sage Absolute, and sweetened by the pulse of vintage Lavender. Each note blends into a swirling ultramarine haze.
Cardamom and Ginger add sharp, flint-like sparks behind the floral, while Cypress and Juniper provide a crisp, icy resin, forming clean green lines that contrast with the Klein blue. Orris Butter forms the heart, creamy, tactile, and rooted, evoking the image of ancient perfumers stirring bronze cauldrons of violets and stone. Green Apple joins faintly, bright and sharp against the buttery orris.
The base blooms with Golden Ambergris, warm and sun-kissed, lending salinity and radiance beneath the floral heart. Mysore Sandalwood adds narcotic smoothness, Fir Balsam Absolute introduces gentle smoke, and Vetiver with Patchouli gives a loamy, earthy depth. The composition is expansive, luminous, and precise, evoking Klein’s blue as a dimension, a color you inhabit rather than wear.
This is a fragrance of color as art, an olfactory translation of Yves Klein’s radical idea, infinite and resonant, where the boundaries of skin and scent dissolve.
