VICTOR GIDEON

Brilliant scientist, loyal pupil of Oswell E Spencer. He became convinced that the future of mankind could be engineered via experimenting, no matter what the cost. Victor saw ethical boundaries where others saw limits. His obsession with legacy, with progress, with power, in the end destroyed him, turning a great scientist into a man who would give up all to accomplish a dream that was never really his.

Clary sage starts with a clean, smart note that portrays Victor’s scientific mind and burning curiosity. The frankincense evokes a feeling of reverence and aspiration, signifying the near-religious dedication he felt to Spencer’s views. The archive dust summons forgotten manuscripts, abandoned experiments, years of knowledge dead to the world. The mineral element gave the perfume a sharp clinical base, redolent of antiseptic laboratories and the objective hunt for discovery which had been the hallmark of his life.
