Deep Dive into Unknown Legend Fragrance
Good Chemistry's Fragrance Director, Greta, dives into the inspiration behind Unknown Legend. "Unknown Legend is classy, but also a little bit tousled by the wind. As if you slept by the fire at night, and then you seek the cool shade of a Texas cedar during the day. We were inspired by the draws and rangelands of the American west. Dust, desert and dry earth. But also green things growing out of the cracks in the concrete. The charcoal santal so sandalwood but smoky. There are notes here of blood orange, rainbow eucalyptus, wild sage; meant to really capture the sense of freedom, open skies, violet leaf for some green. There’s a fig note at the heart of the fragrance. There’s notes of saffron giving us little leathery smoky aspects. All with the vapor of musk graveling throughout the fragrance."
