QUARRY is the contemporary lore - a poignant tribute to the ocean overwhelmed by plastic waste.
The scent has been captured at Chesil Beach in Dorset where discarded fishing nets and plastic paraphernalia are strewn about in fragments over the pebbles that form this magnificent 5000 year old barrier beach. Towering up above on Isle of Portland the disused quarry looks over the polluted waters, in itself mutilated and scarred by human activity. QUARRY fragrance is an environmentalist statement, highlighting the destruction of nature mankind brings about.
QUARRY is a blend of organic and ethically harvested essential oils and an aldehyde called Florazone, which in low amounts creates an open ozonic floral nuance, but an overdose gives a strong off-putting plastic smell.
