Identity Narrative Curation º8 — character and story
Identity Narrative Curation º8 is a unisex fragrance released in 2018. It was created by the American brand Identity Narrative, known for its collection of fragrances without strict gender associations.
The brand's perfume line features seven compositions, and Curation º8 stands out with its rich, multilayered character.
The name Curation º8 seems to suggest careful attention to detail: the composition combines contrasting accords, where citrus freshness meets the warmth of amber, the spiciness of coriander, and deep woody-mossy nuances.
This fragrance is suited to those who enjoy expressive scents with character and do not limit their choices to the boundaries of traditionally “feminine” or “masculine” fragrances.
Notes and overall character
Identity Narrative Curation º8 features amber, a citrus accord, coriander, oakmoss, vanilla, vetiver, and white flowers.
The individual top, heart, and base notes are not classified separately in the database, so it is more accurate to experience the fragrance as a cohesive olfactory structure.
The citrus facet gives it a bright opening, coriander adds dry spicy expressiveness, while amber, vanilla, vetiver, and oakmoss create a warm, dense, and memorable background.
The combination of mossy-woody and white-floral nuances with a soft gourmand sweetness makes the fragrance particularly intriguing.
As a result, Curation º8 is more than simple freshness or sweetness: its character is built on a balance of cool, green, spicy, and resinous nuances.
Sillage and wearability
In terms of sillage intensity, the fragrance falls into the “very strong” category.
It is designed to make a noticeable impression and is especially well suited to occasions when you want to emphasize your individuality: evening outings, special encounters, cool weather, and events where expressive perfumery is appropriate.
The exact amount of Curation º8 to apply to skin and clothing is not specified, so it is best to approach it cautiously at first: begin with a small number of sprays and assess how it develops on your own skin.
The rich amber, vanilla, and woody-mossy accents can last particularly long, so it is better to add the fragrance gradually.
Who will enjoy Curation º8
This unisex fragrance will appeal to lovers of deep, noticeable, and unconventional compositions.
It may interest those looking for an alternative to linear citrus fragrances and who prefer a fresh opening that gradually transitions into a warm, spicy, and woody character.
For further exploration, consider The Spirit of Dubai Fakhama, as well as Nabeel Khaltat Al Jabriya and The Spirit of Dubai Narjesi.
They belong to the same sphere of rich, noticeable perfumery, but each fragrance develops the idea in its own way.
