MECCA STOCKS FIRST AUS FRAGRANCE
It’s been a big journey for a little pepper from Tassie. From wild rainforests in the northwest of the island state to a “world first” inclusion in fine fragrance, this hero botanical is now being spritzed around the globe in fragrance boutiques from NY to Paris and beyond in Troye Sivan’s unisex scent — TLY5755 — created by our perfumer, Craig Andrade.
We're thrilled to announce that TLY5755 is the first Australian fragrance to be stocked by Mecca and is now also available via Mecca channels in Aus, NZ and online.
PERFUMER'S NOTES
Creating this scent with Troye and his brother Steele for their lifestyle brand Tsu Lange Yor was super fun and involved taking them both on a very deep dive into the world of fine fragrance ingredients.
Initially Troye thought he was never going to be vibing with citrus. But, by the end of our process he was in love with bergamot and soon he was falling for an “ultra green” crush: Japanese shiso. But the highlight was undoubtedly our shared adoration for Tasmanian mountain pepper. The amazing lab technicians at Essential Oils of Tasmania completed a world first extract from the leaves using CO2 gas and this allowed us to obtain a smoother, richer, greener fragrance profile. The result of all this work is that this beautiful green spice facet is now a new addition to the palette of perfumers worldwide.
I was thrilled to showcase this marriage of Australia’s ancient native botanicals like mountain pepper, sandalwood and buddawood with a crisp contemporary narrative involving Japanese shiso and vetiver and amyris from Haiti.
The end result is that I created a unisex signature scent that Troye could wear on a date in NY or Melbourne or while walking the runway in Paris, or performing onstage in Berlin. And for the rest of us, apart from being the sexiest scent to wear in the office (use with caution!), it’s a moment of future nostalgia — a chance to connect with what is close and familiar in Australia, the beauty of our own rugged backyard.
