Outer Lands by Cécile Zarokian
On the edge of imagination. Unknown mysteries. A dance with the unknown.
Outlands is an invitation to a journey beyond nature. The composition opens with unexpected light notes: a fresh burst of bright citrus, enhanced by zesty lemon. As the journey continues, the landscape becomes more distant and exotic. Rich, multifaceted patchouli—which highlights heat, humidity, and greenery in equal measure—pushes the intrepid traveler deeper into this mysterious landscape. Finally, a hint of amber—infused with the power of balsams and resins—entices us forward towards the final encounter, where we find ourselves reflected and reshaped.
Though indescribable and familiar, Outlands uses unusual contrasts of light and shadow to capture the ever-changing inevitability of the future.
