Human by Contradictions in ILK is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for women and men. Human was launched in 2022. The nose behind this fragrance is Elodie Durande. Top notes are Ginger, Mushroom, Chalk, Concrete and Rice; middle notes are Plastic Bag, Matcha Tea and Iris; base notes are Skin, Moss, Salt, Musk and Sandalwood. A scented snapshot devoid of nature; manufactured and mankind only – hard steel, smooth concrete, warm skin. Manmade materials drumming with the pulse of human experience. Reminiscent of white noise and warm skin – both gently familiar but distinctly other. Powdery iris, gentle musk, warm skin, and chalky concrete enfold the other with delicacy. A touch of saltiness from the matcha creates the perfect counter to the sparkling ginger and kinetic cellophane. Creamy sandalwood, earthy moss, and just the gentlest whisper of mushroom and steamed rice complete this ode to the human experience, both domestic and shared.
