Shigenobu Twilight

Shigenobu Twilight

http://www.thedieline.com/blog/2009/12/shigenobu-twilight.html

"This is the first handcrafted scent by NY artist Anicka Yi and
architect Maggie Peng. The fragrance is inspired by the Fusako
Shigenobu, former leader of the Japanese Red Army, who was believed
to be in exile in Lebanon for many years after orchestrating some of
the group's most political statements. Yi and Peng have chosen cedar
wood as a central theme of this fragrance's narrative, as cedar is
highly regarded in Lebanon as a national emblem. The scent uses three
different kinds of cedar wood as its base note, along with violet
leaf and nutty heart notes, and top notes of yuzu, shiso leaf, and
black pepper. The packaging for this hand-distilled fragrance is made
of raw cedar wood, each bottle uniquely (and painstakingly) hand-cut
by the creators in architectural geometry, encasing a 10ml glass
bottle of liquid within."
