Henrik Vibskov Type fragrance

The new Henrik Vibskov [Type] fragrance series consists of unisex scents that reflect a specific moment in time in three different cities. The Shelter have just received TYPE B (Berlin) and TYPE D (Damascus). Playing with the simplicity of the cities' initial letters, the Eaux de Toilette TYPE B and TYPE D not only represent very unique and different fragrances, they reflect some of the very characteristics of the represented cities. TYPE B, for Berlin, captures a cold winter's day in the former Eastern part of the city, where – even today – numerous buildings and houses are heated with coal. While the scent starts with spicy and fizzy top notes (black pepper, sulphur match), it soon ignites its soft woody heart (cedarwood, vetyver, gaiac wood) and evolves towards an unexpected, yet cosy and welcoming musky black wood dry down (birch and coal tar), recollective of smoky and leatherish odors on the streets of Pankow. TYPE D, for Damascus, is inspired by the fantasy of the Middle East and the ancient marketplaces of Damascus on a hot summer's day – down the colourful, narrow streets where the air is saturated with a rich collection of enticing scents. Starting with the freshness of a spicy, citrus accord (bergamot, pink pepper), the scent soon unfolds into a warm and opulent floral boúqúet (jasmine, orange flower, ginger bread, cinnamon). The rich and sensual drydown unveils a woody, balsamic harmony of styrax wood, sandalwood, tonka bean and vanilla. — Henrik Vibskov Type B and D are available now at The Shelter, $180 for 50ml.
