Technical Grass(e)

A labyrinthine that transforms verdant hues and sunlit citrus into something entirely unexpected — a symphony woven from the shadowed warmth of oud, musk, and noble balsams.

Its presence is not one of simple freshness but of opulent depth, revealing itself slowly, with the elegance of silk and the poise of memory lingering in the air.

"Born from the structural skeleton of early Patreon exclusive Owasco, Technical Grass(e) is a French "poudre" iris, vetiver, and citrus perfume ran through a dense Arabian lens of Oud, Musk, and heavy balsams. Not a "freshy" despite the greens and citrus."

JINX is an artisan house working out of a refurbished restaurant in Canandaigua, in the Finger Lakes region of central New York State. Arthur Clayton Emrick runs it, mostly self-taught, with a love of chemistry forged through beer and wine making and the culinary arts. The inspiration is Michigan, an extremely rural part of it, and the wild flowers and deep woods of a childhood there. The work is oud-centric and animalic, built on high-quality natural materials used in quantity.

Many of the JINX fragrances are entirely natural and many are not. Synthetic materials, where they are used, are named rather than left out. US houses are not bound by IFRA, and JINX complies with it anyway wherever synthetics appear. Natural animal musks appear in several of the releases. Materials are named specifically. A sandalwood by its year, an oud by where it came from.
