🎞️ The Inspiration: François Ozon (2003)
A sun-drenched villa in the South of France; tension, blue water, and hidden secrets. Swimming Pool captures the atmospheric, suspenseful soul of the film. It highlights the Chlorine (Trace), Bitter Orange, and Sunburned Skin. It is nostalgic and romantic.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Water and Light
The scent opens with Icy Mandarin. The heart is Pool Water Accord and Geranium. The base is White Musk and Ambroxan. It is evocative.
🌿 Raw Material Sourcing: The Screen
-
Ambroxan: For a salty, skin-like warmth after a swim.
-
Aldehydes: For that shimmering, blue light effect.
🧠 The Scent Psychology: Mystery
Cool aquatic scents signal secrets and intuition. Swimming Pool is cinematic.
🇬🇧 The London Lab Technology

💭 From the Perfumer's Diary
"It smells like a mystery by the water. The coolness of the pool and the heat of the sun. Beautifully tense."
