Henrik Vibskov Lotus Dust Red & Cedar Root Black ~ new fragrances

Posted by Robin on 8 April 2016 11 Comments

Henrik Vibskov Lotus Dust Red and Cedar Root Black

Late last year, Danish designer Henrik Vibskov launched two new fragrances "inspired by the elegant natural landscapes of Asia", Lotus Dust Red and Cedar Root Black.

Lotus Dust Red ~ "Lotus Dust RED presents a warm heart of lotus root and sandalwood musk. Top notes include mandarin, canola oil and Russian Earl Grey Tea whilst base notes hint at subtle orange blossom florals and musky birch."

Cedar Root Black ~ "Cedar Root BLACK on the contrary is a spritely fragrance pairing a zesty harmony of citrus and dusty wood pine. Top notes unearth gin, almond and leather whilst flirting with playful hints of fizzy jasmine, black pepper and ink."

Henrik Vibskov Lotus Dust Red and Cedar Root Black are available at Colette in France, in 50 Eau de Toilette.

    I am mesmerized by those bottles! Are those really the tops??? They are almost as large as the bottles themselves!

      Pretty much my thought too. Canola oil doesn’t smell like much of anything. I guess of the two, Cedar sounds more interesting. I like the caps too. They’re cute.

    I have smelled them both (as I live in Denmark)..they are quite lovely, but nothing really fantastic 🙂 The bottles are so nice, when you see them live and they make me smile..those caps are gorgeous woody ones and better looking when you hold them in hand 🙂 I actually thought about buying one (or both) just to have them on the shelf 🙂

    I wonder about the canola oil and the caps too. ????

    I am pretty sure they mean essential oil of the canola flower (which is also called rape seed). Here’s a discussion of the scent of the plants: http://www.basenotes.net/threads/275694-Fields-of-Rape-seed-flowers-Wow-they-smell-incredible!

      That definitely makes more sense!! Maybe lost in translation from Danish?

      The Lotus Dust Red sounds pretty interesting….bottles are great!! 🙂

      I wasn’t aware that rapeseed flowers have a beautiful scent.

      I’m not sure it’s a bad translation, but rather the lack of differentiation between flower oil and seed oil.

      When we hear canola oil we know only the food oil used in cooking. Interestingly, it used to be called rapeseed oil, but once Canadian growers realized it could be used as a home cooking oil, they changed the name to something much more appealing, hence canola (the can referring to Canada).
