Colonia De Pessego

Juicy peach bursts forth alongside zesty bergamot, lemon, and sweet orange, laced with dry Mediterranean herbs that sharpen the air.

Lavender and orange flower soon weave in, their floral softness brushing against powdery iris and subtle rose, pulling you into a brighter, airier haze.

As the day unfolds, Cambodian oud grounds it all with a smoky whisper, while Siberian deer musk and salty ambergris add a warm, animalic depth that lingers intimately.

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.
