{"product_id":"mix-media-chittagong-summer","title":"Mix Media  : CHITTAGONG SUMMER 50ml","description":"\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eI would like this fragrance to be a humble tribute to Chittagong in summer not a literal reconstruction but a memory of how the city feels when heat, humidity, greenery and the sea somehow exist together.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt begins with the feeling of warm air meeting a breeze from the Bay of Bengal. Hathkora brings that unmistakable regional citrus character bright, slightly bitter and full of life softened by juicy melon and pear. I don’t want the opening to feel conventionally “fresh.” There should be moisture in it almost the sensation of freshly cut fruit eaten outdoors while the salty air keeps moving around you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA very delicate marine accord of beach, rather than smelling overtly aquatic. Beneath it, imagine a soft, clean, almost laundered quality the familiarity of a freshly washed linen shirt slowly warming against the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the fragrance settles, the city begins to appear. Crushed lavender, green aromatic notes, pear and gentle white flowers bring the feeling of vegetation flourishing in the humid climate. A restrained touch of oud gives it roots and quietly places the composition in South Asia. It should never dominate; it is there almost like a shadow, giving character and soul to the freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base becomes warmer and more human. Earthy vetiver, soft musk and frankincense mingle with a subtle salty amber. The frankincense should feel distant and slightly smoky—almost like catching the faint aroma of something burning or being grilled somewhere down the street as evening approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltimately, I don't want Chittagong Summer to smell like an idealised tropical holiday. I want it to feel lived in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHumid skin. Fresh fruit being chopped. Green leaves under a fierce sun. A linen shirt clinging slightly to the body. The distant sea. Smoke somewhere in the air. And then, unexpectedly, a warm breeze arriving from the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is fresh, but not sterile. Fruity but not gourmand. Marine but not conventionally blue. A little salty, a little earthy, a little sweaty and very much alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than anything, I would be grateful if the fragrance could carry a small piece of that feeling the imperfect beauty of a Chittagong summer, remembered through scent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zakir Gafur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50229007614202,"sku":null,"price":152.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/1084\/7226\/files\/81d7f495-09e3-45f0-a1be-1c057127213b.jpg?v=1788538195","url":"https:\/\/gafur.ae\/products\/mix-media-chittagong-summer","provider":"Zakir Gafur","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
