Description
To Prin Lomros, the hopes and fears, triumphs and failures of young love can be represented by a somewhat unlikely avatar: pop rocks. It’s not as crazy as it might seem- aside from being a reliable source of childhood nostalgia, the fizzy, exploding candy is just like the experiences that make up the romantic awakening of adolescence: sweet, painful, exciting, unpredictable, and fleeting. This is the concept behind Magenta Pop, a candy-inspired summer scent of sweet, juicy, occasionally painful romance.
Magenta Pop is built around grape, but not the fruity dimensionality of a wine or table grape- the flattened purple sweetness of the ubiquitous candy flavor, syrupy and indulgent. Contrast, therefore, comes with the electric spices meant to convey the crackle of the candy: black pepper, coriander, cinnamon, ginger. Languid honeycomb adds a sugary crunch, while an undercurrent of boozy red wine and animalic leather hint at the deeper, more adult pleasures down the road. If you’d like a grape scent with a bit of grown-up challenge hidden on the edges, Magenta Pop is a testament to coming of age that will make your mouth water- and your heart flutter.
