Gimel

The letter C is one to watch out for: it offers ecstasy of the hunt! The escapism of urban life. Patchouli and Musk provide excitement and thrill. Tonka brings courage in times of confusion. The camouflage of the animalistic Ambergris tones and the green notes of Bergamot, Rose and Freesia will protect you and keep you safe. A scented trail of Oak and Sandalwood whizzes through the air and strikes effectively. Elemi – the embalming resin of ancient Egyptians – guides the transition of the spirit to the other side. The spicy notes of Pepper and Saffron symbolize resurrection and return. Behold the miracle of the circle of life.

GIMEL is a not to be missed perfume to share* that will enchant and activate you.

GIMEL – The third letter of our alphabet. The character C has its origins in the 4000-year-old use of a throwing stick. This kind of boomerang was often used during bird hunting on the Nile River. Lying on the grassy banks of the river. Waiting for the right moment to strike. GLYPHS offers you a typographic olfactory lineage through time.

* All GLYPHS perfumes are to share for her and him

ABOUT GLYPHS – GLYPHS is a series of works of art captured in perfume. To determine the smell of a letter, Autobahn and master perfumer Mark Buxton decided to go back to the origins of our alphabet, about which Autobahn made the acclaimed book A is van Os in 2018. It explains the history of our letters, which originated almost 4000 years ago in the Sinai desert and come from images cut in stone: the A was an image of an Ox, the letter B stood for House and the C for Boomerang, etc. This fact was the starting point for the creation of the perfumes and the name GLYPHS, which means 'to engrave, to carve'. 

THE SCENT OF LETTERS – Capturing the scent of letters is no easy job. Mark Buxton took the liberty to develop three scents, based on an ox, a house and a boomerang. It resulted in an extremely surprising series of perfumes contained in a pen bottle, so that the perfume can be used to write letters directly on the skin. The perfumes are made with the highest quality ingredients, so that every perfume conveys the concept of the letter and lasts a long time.
