‘Sorabji is a black tea, osmanthus and leather fragrance by January Scent Project. It is an olfactive portrait of British-Indian composer and eccentric Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji. He famously wrote a four and a half hour piano work, Opus Clavicembalisticum in 1930. “After learning more about Sorabji, and listening to more and more of his music, I felt compelled to create a fragrance that, in some way, captured even a fraction of the shadow left by his life of Earth. I do not know how much of the perfume is about music, or about an unusual man who rarely left his small village in England, or about the dedicated fan base of musicologists who dragged him out of very early retirement so that he might compose again before he passed away in 1988,” – a note from the brand. It contains notes of apricot, tarragon, black tea, osmanthus, black pepper, red Morocco book leather, vanilla, and amber.’ – January Scent Project
