London-based niche line Timothy Han Edition Perfumes has introduced On the Road, a new fragrance inspired by the Jack Kerouac novel.
Inspired by Jack Kerouac’s 1951 novel of the same name, “On the Road” is a unisex perfume that polarises by telling a tale of restlessness and an unbridled desire to experience the beat counterculture of a Jazz fuelled post-war America.
[...] On The Road is itinerant in nature. It begins with smoky notes of benzoin and birch reminiscent of the hot asphalt and grittiness of New York City. Punctuated by forays into tobacco filled bars where a new era in music is being defined by the Jazz greats, our journey takes us through the openness of the dusty cornfields of a Mid-Western America and rises to the cedar forests of a Pacific Coast. The restlessness of the journey finally gives way to the optimism left by the fresh green fragrance of galbanum, citrus and bergamot.
Additional notes include lavandin, amyris, cedar, patchouli, tonka bean, oakmoss, guaiac wood, vanilla and labdanum.
Timothy Han Edition Perfumes On the Road is £120 for 60 ml Eau de Parfum, and can be found at the brand website.

Interesting back story for a UK company…works like magic on me!
I heard the first one was really good…
Byredo is probably contacting their lawyer right now, haha.
After Frederic Malle sues Byredo, you mean 🙂
As if Byredo bottles (and their perfumes) were really original…
Does this smell like an ice cream milkshake? The only thing I remember from OTR is that the bloke made a habit of having a milkshake every day.
But On the Road already has an accompanying scent: SMN Nostalgia.
This sounds interesting!
