Description
The perfume Scent of Aurora is a product based on the special Northern Swedish area in mind. The name Scent of Aurora comes from Aurora Borealis: latin for Nordic light. The very nordic part of the landscape is called Northern Northland which is Norra Norrland in Swedish. In the bottle one will find two parts of the fragrance: 24K gold and red glass pearls. The gold represents our living. Northern Sweden give work to a lot of people due to the mines and the forrest. This is our living and this gives jobs that makes is possible for a lot of people to stay in this part of Sweden. The red glass pearls illustrates a berry called Arctic Raspberry. Arctic Raspberry grows only in a specific flora which is found in the norther part of Sweden, this makes it unique for the area. The flower of Arctic Raspberry is also the flower of the “state” of Norrbotten.
Arctic Raspberry is very rare and impossible to re-produce. It is unique. There is no extract made in the world to smell like Arctic Raspberry, therefore it would not make sense to try to compose something similar, instead the notes are sweet but not too sweet, as the berry.
Scent of Aurora was launched in 2015. The nose behind this fragrance is Eva Henriksson.

My second bottle. A beautiful scent – safe for office. Very nice year around. Warm, female and sexycosy -with cashmere and tonka you can’t go wrong. A come-and-hug-me-scent. Its not loud – and not skinclose neither.
Min andra flaska. En underbar doft – helt ok för kontoret. Funkar fint året om att bära. Varm, kvinnlig och sexig – med cashmere och tonka kan det inte bli fel, liksom. En kom-å-krama-mig-doft. Den är varken skrikig, kraftig -inte heller hudnära.

With held breath I waited for my little sample in the post and it arrived earlier this morning.
Of course I put it on immediately, what else?
The sample came with a little red blob/dot at the bottom, very cutely representing the blackcurrant in the scent pyramid I guess.
It’s a lovely presentation, sadly the scent is really not my thing.
I’ll try and be objective, since the folks at NorraNorrland seem like a nice bunch, dedicated to their customers, I find the concept intriguing and I do appreciate this niche perfume, even though it’s not up my alley.
So the opening is indeed fresh, very ozonic smelling in the way that ice has/or in fact hasn’t a smell.
The blackcurrant is noticeable and… I think herein lies my problem: I expected it to fully smell like a Swedish northern forest.
It doesn’t.
It smells like “nubbe” which is fragrant, spiced vodka that one drinks at festive dinners in Sweden. Specifically the nubbe spiced with blackthorn.
And I swear there is, if not Jasmine, a cloying white flower in there somewhere. Alternatively a white musk base which I can’t detect since I’m anosmic to certain musks. It’s that-aluminium-at-the-back-of-the throat-accord that I don’t tolerate.
However, I can completely see this being a hit with some perfume heads in Sweden since this is the sort of scent that hits home with the crowd here. Fresh/metallic/bitter.
If that’s your thing, try it.
Longevity and projection is very good, mid range priced.

A very nice and clean “I-just-got-out-of-the-shower” or “shampoo” scent. Starts out fruity and becomes more and more woodsy as time goes by. Very good longevity. I’ve been wearing this a lot lately and I really like how clean and fresh it makes me feel.

This is a delicate, close to the skin scent, but still with veeeery good longevity.
Woodsy notes, iris, tea.
A very fresh smelling, but also very natural and outdoorsy smelling scent. Not a iota of the “dreaded detergent” here, I am happy to report.
Might be black currant in it, I can´t tell, maybe I´m anosmic of black currant, because I can´t detect it in for example Hermes Amazone either?
Something in this perfume makes me think of the scent of wet ground just after a rain…
Absolutely delicious! I am very happy with my purchase!

A beautiful and very comforting powdery fruity fragrance. Very rounded, quite close to the skin, but very pleasing. Here is a lot of musk.

I had the luck of receiving a sample of the Scent of Aurora. On my skin, the fragrance opens with a cozy and powdery blend of iris and tonka bean. I can detect the fruity notes peeking through, allowing the scent to remain airy and clean smelling.
In the drydown, the woody notes give it a warm and comforting feel, like wearing your favourite soft jumper! It is a great everyday fragrance, very wearable and relaxing.

A beautiful scent. Warm, a bit skinclose, superfemale’ish, come-and-hug-me-scent. Great mix of Black currant, Iris, Tea and Cashmere wood.
After a few hours there is a sweet Cashmerenote hanging around. I have dry skin and I can smell it for over 10 hours. A keeper!
En underbar doft. Varm, lite hudnära superkvinnlig kom-å-krama-mig-doft. Suverän mix av svarta vinbär, Iris, Te och Cashmereträ.
Efter några timmar återstår en söt Cashmerenot som är hudnära men ändå tydlig. Jag har torr hud och på mig doftar den över 10 timmar. Ett måste!!
