More about Nomenclature
Noun, English \ German: nomenclature
From the Latin nomenclatura (‘list of names’, ‘naming’), from nomen (name) + calare (‘to call’), it refers to the naming, naming system or technical terminology used in a particular scientific discipline, subject area or art.
You may not know their names, but you have certainly smelled their scent. You may even be smelling them right now. Without them, your scent would simply not exist.
While natural essences are in the public eye, synthetic substances are the secret instigators of fragrant revolutions. Whether they mimic nature, unlock its greatest secrets or sweep into botanically impossible scents, synthetic substances are the true building blocks of perfumery. Elegant solutions discovered by scientists sweep from the laboratories onto your skin and into your nose.
Nomenclature pays homage to the design of perfume chemistry by presenting today's most inspiring and exclusive molecules – so exclusive that some, known as ‘captives’, are closely guarded by fragrance companies.
With its series of refined and progressive compositions, Nomenclature explores their complex facets and their potential to take centre stage. In doing so, it demonstrates that these man-made hybrids of poetry and science possess a beauty all their own. The beauty of modernity.
