Indie brand Bruno Fazzolari has launched Room 237, a new fragrance inspired by the movie The Shining.
It’s not everyday that we get a fragrance based on one of the most terrifying films ever made, but that’s precisely what Room 237 is- an homage to Kubrick’s classic adaptation of Stephen King’s The Shining, where the pastel-green bathroom of the titular room shelters an unspeakable evil. It’s not exactly the kind of concept one attempts lightly, but Bruno Fazzolari has delivered something truly unique, a soft, enveloping, soapy-green scent that powerfully evokes a feeling of dreamlike confusion that’s both wearable and, dare we say, at least a little bit disturbing...
The notes feature angelica, flea bane, estragon, costus, oppoponax and olibanum.
Bruno Fazzolari Room 237 can be found now at Luckyscent, $96 for 30 ml Eau de Toilette.

What is “flea bane” and “estragon”….something about the sound of this perfume disturbs me. Wonder how it will sell?
Estragon is tarragon. Flea bane probably refers to a kind of daisy:

If it doesn’t smell like an elevator full of blood, I’m not interested.
Believe it or not, I have never seen the movie. Not going to start now.
Now I’ve heard it all.
And just when you think you’ve heard it all…
