Tempo Rubato Extrait de Parfum 50ml
Extrait De Parfum | Pure Luxury Niche Scent
DESCRIPTION
The idea of tempo rubato is one that is often used in jazz. It translates to “robbed time,” referring to the use of playing off-tempo in a way that adds some tension and feeling to the melody. Much like natural materials used in perfumery, the beauty is in the “imperfections” and the natural feel. Not flawed, but not uniform or robotic, either.
Billie Holiday’s powerful and entrancing vocal style is a perfect example of this style. It’s difficult to define, but tempo rubato isn’t just singing off beat. Far from it. It has to be done skillfully, artfully and in an indefinable manner. Miles Davis said, “A lot of singers try to sing like Billie, but just the act of playing behind the beat doesn’t make it sound soulful.”
Just like her music and her message, Tempo Rubato is a classic composition that is as relevant in today's world as it ever was.

Performance

How Vétiver Obscur was composed
The brief was a single word — graphite. Our perfumer worked from a Haitian vetiver harvested in the Les Cayes plain, where volcanic soil yields an oil that is earthier and less green than its Javanese counterpart.
The formula is macerated for six weeks and cold-filtered before filling. Each flacon is numbered by batch on the underside of the base.
