Commodity Tonka, by master perfumer Guillaume Flavigny is at first dark and mysterious, then this floral woody features an unexpected set of gourmand notes; smoky whiskey, leather and tobacco meet dry cocoa, caramel and coffee. It’s elegant and sensual, while at the same time exotic and addictive. | Watch the full film at CommodityGoods.com/films. | When he was young and living in his native France, Guillaume often wondered why schools did not teach children about the “alphabet” of fragrance, given the country’s rich perfume heritage. He decided to cultivate his own, and over the past two decades has mastered the art of perfumery. His sensitivity to scents goes hand in hand with an appreciation for art and music, and the ability to find beauty in a variety of contexts: the smoky taste of whiskey; the rich color of Japanese ink; or the melodic angularities of jazz. As a professional perfumer and jazz pianist, he synthesizes his diverse inspirations in art, music and beyond into a style that is both passionate and truly original. “Rhythm and music inspire and help me create perfumes and play with sustainable raw materials to bring something different and meaningful to a fragrance. I love to play the piano, and the melodic, syncopated rhythmic patterns of jazz awaken my very personal and provocative style.” | #guillaumeflavigny #commoditygoods #eaudeparfum #behindeverybottleisastory #masterperfumer #fragrancefoundation #sephora #sephoracanada #sephoramx #sephoraaus #crueltyfree #sustainablefragrance #sustainable #ethicalsourcing
