‘Line 618’, named after the numbers in the Golden Ratio, the concept that plays a crucial role in geometry and contributes to pleasing proportions in art and design. Using the principle of endless equilibrium as her guide, Nathalie Lorson begins ‘Line 618’ with a striking combination of Black Pepper and Pineapple. The fruity facet of the latter forms an intriguing counterpoint to the more explosive character of the former – two diverse players walking along a delicate tightrope. The next step is marked by Heliotrope and Pine. With their mix of almond-like, floral, green-citrusy notes, they continue the contrasts of the opening and extend them across a longer scale. In the final stage, as the impeccable balancing act continues into the distance, Sandalwood, Patchouli and Leather pull the line closer towards a perpetually unreachable olfactory horizon. Surprising, grand and yet entirely harmonious, ‘Line 618’ is a perfectly-proportioned essay on the inevitability of progression.
