Do You Smell That Dirty Martini?
By Olivia Olsen
To Sip or Smell? We Say Both
Did you know your sense of taste is actually powered by your sense of smell? Without your nose, your tongue can only detect five basic tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. Everything else we think we "taste"—we're really smelling.
That’s why people often describe fragrances like food—it’s totally natural to say “flavors” instead of “notes” or to claim a scent “tastes” a certain way.
Meet the Cocktail Line
Our Cocktail Line is a playful combo between food and fragrance with scents that smell good enough to…drink! Crowd favorites like fizzy Aperol Spritz and sugary Espresso Martini are sent out almost daily.
Dirty Martini is the perfect night cap to your routine before you hit the town. An eccentric take on a classic cocktail, clean olive shaken with juniper and hinoki is a botanical blend with a smooth finish.
Make your Dirty Martini extra dirty thanks to extra fragrance oil, so your scent can last all day long.
