Inception is not only a spectacular film from 2010, but also inspired Zarko Ahlmann Pavlov to create the fragrance of the same name. The dream and consciousness levels of the film are also reflected in the basic structure of the fragrance. Where one would traditionally expect a fragrance pyramid, Zarko has succeeded in initiating six fragrance phases, a revolution in perception.
The six components start in an unusual and fascinating simultaneity: Cool, airy ozonic notes as well as sparkling citrus notes emerge, flowers are added, spices appear and green notes spread their magic. Woods also form part of this polyphonic harmony.
What sounds like a heavy and impenetrable complexity has been realised in the inimitable way of Zarkoperfumes, wonderfully transparent and full of lightness. The wearer of Inception is immediately in the thick of things; after all, there is no progression whose phases have to be waited for. Everything is there immediately and simultaneously. What is usually only refreshing as a prelude in the top notes is now permanently present, and what usually lingers as a finish in the base is perceptible in an astonishing way right from the start.
Light and dark notes, soft and intense are equally present, and so the fragrance cannot be categorised by gender: Inception is a clearly unisex fragrance. A fresh and at the same time aquatic fragrance, a mirror of the simultaneities of reality, yet always light and carefree.
