The Full Story

Money as a perfumery concept captures the particular smell of paper currency (cott on-linen fiber, intaglio ink, trace metals from handling) and coins (copper, nickel, zinc). The paper-money smell comes from printing inks, the cott on-linen substrate, and accumulated human skin oils. In avant-garde perfumery, the note suggests capitalism, transacti on, and the strangely specific smell of handled cash.
