Use Your Perfume to Unlock Your Dreams
By Jo Phillips
The latest science shows that babies smell even when they are still in a mother’s womb before they can even see, the nose engages, and so the child is born knowing the ‘smell’ of their mother. Smell is considered the most ‘spiritual’ of our senses, as it was through the nose the ‘Adam” was given life. A new collection of perfumes from Charlotte Tilbury taps into our very emotions and connects us to others and ourselves. Time to Step up your perfume regime. Find out more in Use Your Perfume to Unlock Your Dreams.
Our scene of smell plays a huge part in our emotional genesis. It is an instant gateway to emotion and memory and our powerful than any other sense. Perfumers know more now than ever as to which smells affect which parts of our brains, and which emotions these specific smells are in reaction with.
Perfume ingredients companies like IFF (International Flavors & Fragrance) have been collecting over five billion data points so that they could scientifically measure the way thousands of fragrance notes impacted different people, discovering how they shape our emotions.
With two different types of test – an UNCONSCIOUS study into emotion (how we respond to specific scents) and a CONSCIOUS user study (based on what you say about how the scent makes you feel), these five billion data points were inputted into the IFF SCENTCUBE™ ALGORITHM.
An IFF proprietary algorithm, the IFF SCENTCUBE™, could identify a range of emotions that could now be targeted directly through scent combinations or fragrance accords.
“We measure the emotional power of ingredients by understanding the specific effect they have on us and we identify which emotions they enhance. We then use Artificial Intelligence with an IFF proprietary tool called the IFF SCENTCUBE™ that analyses all this data and gives perfumers innovative ingredient combinations to enhance specific emotions. It creates a specific palette of ingredients so they can compose with it.”

With this new science available Charlotte Tilbury felt finally she could bring her perfume dreams alive.
In order to unlock the power of scent, she sought out the best noses she could to bring her dream to life! Anne Flipo, Juliette Karagueuzoglou and Dominique Ropion.Together, alongside Charlotte’s very clear vision, they created six fragrances powered by emotion-boosting molecules, which are a combination of notes and accords used to create each fragrance that can enhance the six specific feelings that Charlotte wanted to bottle.
I believe that by CONSCIOUSLY CHOOSING and MAINTAINING POSITIVE EMOTIONAL STATES, people can influence their desires, by using “THE LAW OF ATTRACTION” You can MANIFEST and ATTRACT how you want to feel, and CASCADE THOSE FEELINGS TO THOSE AROUND YOU…isn’t that amazing?
Charlotte Tilbury
These six universally important emotions, significant to her and include; Love, Energy, Serenity, Seduction, Empowerment and Happiness.
Each of the fragrances is layered with three types of ingredients, from naturally derived fragrance oils, and synthetic raw materials, all the way to accords to create scents that both smell incredible and can also feel transformational, all through the power of the senses.

Charlotte had a clear vision for how her fragrance collection would look. For every bottle and box, she thought about every aspect of the design. From the colour and shape to the symbology and numerology on the front that represents the feeling each perfume evokes.
The one-of-a-kind, magical bottles are inspired by 18th-century potions and perfume design, enclosed in a box reminiscent of a book of magic that opens up to reveal the secret story behind each scent.
