Erik Kormann Steampunk ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 19 September 2013 9 Comments

Erik Kormann Steampunk

Erik Kormann of Berlin boutique 1000 & 1 Seife has launched Steampunk, a new fragrance:

In the beginning was ... the word: Steampunk. Erik Kormann was browsing through the internet and was fascinated by this movement, which has evolved from a literary phenomenon to a modern subculture. A kind of retro-futurism expressed through the love of art and of the Victorian era and has its roots in the works of Jules Verne and HG Wells. Thus, a diving bell is also the symbol that the graphic artist Jo Zarth transposed for Erik Kormann: A tribute to Verne's novel "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea."

Erik Kormann always wanted to create a fragrance with Atlas cedarwood - and one that is reminiscent of an old library with wood paneling that evokes wanderlust. This desire fitted perfectly to the steampunk theme which also abounds with explorers and adventurers. So all said and done: the idea was born and immediately implemented.

Notes include cedar, violet, citric notes, elemi and cashmeran.

Erik Kormann Steampunk can be found now at First in Fragrance in Germany, in 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

    Steampunk was already an old trend a year ago.

      I don’t know…seems to still be going strong. Great bottle in any case.

    Kevin did a very positive review of the original Kormann Eau de Fröhliche (which had an adorable bottle). I’m surprised not to find reviews of the subsequent EKs, although there is a postive mention of EdF II on olfactorialist. Hint, hint! 😉

      I am pretty sure, though not positive, that he tried at least one after that? So maybe he didn’t find it interesting, or maybe I’m dreaming.

        I’ve tried both googling Erik Kormann generally and searching for Kormann on NST. There are new fragrance posts for Juli, September, and EdF II, but no reviews. Maybe he tried EdF II but felt that felt even he couldn’t compete with a bottle with a cat’s posterior on it. 🙂 The weird thing is that no one else seems to have reviewed them either.

          I wonder if there are reviews on German blogs? Don’t think the brand has any distribution here.

    I am totally amused by a description that begins with someone browsing through the Internet. If that’s what it takes, we’re all one click away from inspiration! 🙂 (Would love to smell this, btw.)

    My sometime friend, Clint Etna, who has since gone to ground, created a frag by this exact name a year ago as his entry in the Eau Faux competition. Just sayin’.
