Welcome back to my blog! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve published a post but I’m thrilled to return with some exciting reveals!
#sensensquad The scent of the season is finally here #SOTS
As the clock ticks down to January 31st, Sense’N’ By Sherif is beyond thrilled to announce the release of our newest fragrance, the scent of the season: 𝐓𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓
Following the release of my YouTube video where I explore the inspiration behind this scent, I’m excited to share more about what makes this fragrance truly special.
𝐓𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 is not just a fragrance; it is an experience - a sensory journey that embodies the magic of dusk transitioning into dawn.
I invite my readers and audiences to imaginatively romanticise over this period of the ‘in-between’ which represents warmth, illumination, and the allure that comes with the setting sun and rising moon.
From dusk till dawn, these transitional moments across the universe reflect the interplay of the elements and the celestial dimensions, grounding us in the magic, mystery, allure, and illumination of twilight on Planet Earth.
It draws inspiration from my song "𝐓𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓" which also premieres on January 31st.
The synergy between the fragrance and the music encapsulates the essence of this enchanting moment.
In December, we organised a soft launch event in preparation for the official release on January 31st, 2025 in partnership with Afro Diverse -an exciting events brand (where Beats Bridge Business) at their end-of-year showcase, featuring numerous independent niche vendors, along side live music performances!
Sense’N’ presented 𝐓𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓, generating excitement among customers eager to buy and experience the magic of this fragrance during the festive season!
The Fragrance Profile
At its core, Twilight is an amber fragrance it’s a fragrance that’s designed to invite you to indulge in the luxury of a premium niche, handmade scent. It’s designed to warm up your winter, offering a glow that illuminates the chilly days.
The scent profile is a magnetic interplay of gourmand and woody elements, with powdery musky undertones that add a layer of sophistication and etherealism.
Here’s a little insight into the notes of this fragrance
Top Notes: A Sparkling Introduction
The fragrance opens with a sparkle of citrus, featuring a harmonious blend of petit grain, sweet Brazilian orange, and bergamot. This combination provides a shimmering lift solar transparency evoking the freshness of a new day. Complementing this sun drenched opening are warm notes of tonka bean and an accord of candied berries and cream. This sweet, delectable introduction not only tantalizes the senses but also mirrors the sensual undertones explored in my song, where whipped cream and jelly symbolize playful intimacy. These opening notes sit against a back drop of amber-woods which emerge with their warm, resinous character, enveloping the senses like a comforting embrace. The smooth, creamy texture of the amber intertwines with the earthy richness of the woods, creating a captivating contrast that draws you deeper in and serves as a bridge between the vibrant energy of the day and the serene intimacy of night, inviting you to linger in the magic of this transition.
Heart Notes: The Essence of Twilight
As the fragrance evolves, we delve into the heart notes where the magic truly unfolds. The celestial viola twilight flower, a unique type of violet flower, introduces a powdery softness that embodies romantic allure. Alongside this, marshmallow adds a plush, edible sweetness, capturing the essence of skin and intimacy.
The heart also features spiced rum, with nuances of nutmeg and cinnamon, creating a warm, intoxicating aura that resonates with the lyrics of Twilight the song ‘Rum and Sherry got me heady now…’ alluding to an alluring intoxication.
Finally, the inclusion of Incense (reminiscent of an exotic tobacco) adds depth, enhancing the sensuality and mystique of the fragrance.
Base Notes: A Lasting Impression
The base notes of Twilight are where the fragrance settles into its seductive nature, revealing a captivating depth and glow which resonates in cohesion with the earlier notes.
Infused with the exotic, luxurious richness of saffron, the scent unfolds with a warm, spicy elegance that evokes a sense of opulence. Powdered lavender adds a soft, calming touch, reminiscent of twilight skies filled with serenity, while patchouli weaves in a touch of earthiness, and surrealism grounding the composition with its rich, aromatic depth.
Musky, powdery cashmeran envelops the fragrance in a velvety warmth, creating an intimate aura that lingers on the skin like a gentle caress. Creamy sandalwood rounds out the base, imparting a smooth, milky richness that enhances the overall elegance of the scent.
Together, these notes intertwine beautifully, leaving a trail of warmth and sophistication that invites further exploration.
Each element has been meticulously curated to evoke emotions and memories which interlink to Twilight the sound track allowing you to escape into a realm of fantasy and connection, where the allure of twilight becomes an unforgettable experience.
