A thrilling adventure to awaken your senses ScentStory launches 24 The Fragrance

June 11, 2009 12:00 by Aarti Nagraj

24 The Fragrance is inspired by the central character of 24, Jack Bauer. He is a man of strong personality - one that deepens over time and is sculpted by the adventures he lives. He is strong and robust, tough yet sensitive. He is the perfect man for the ultimate mission.

The man behind this exceptional perfume is enigmatic with incredible self-assurance. He conveys an air of extreme distinction. He is urban, cosmopolitan, but above all a Hero.

 The distinguished scent of 24 The Fragrance opens with emotions of vibrancy and dynamism, created by the enchanting blend of lavender, mandarin orange and bergamot. A flash of lemon completes the thrill of intense freshness.

At its heart, lie expressions of self assurance and masculinity captured by a savvy mélange of nutmeg, cinnamon, pink pepper, mint, caraway and anise, an exquisite bouquet of enticing spices to unveil the true essence of the fragrance.

Yet, the lasting impressions of 24 The Fragrance are of gripping and cliff-hanging sensations with notes of amber, musk, oak moss, vanilla and wood providing the finishing depth to the scent that you want to last for a long time.

The packaging of 24 The Fragrance echoes the flowing manly notes of the scent itself. The clear lines of the bottle reflect the masculine and heavy character of the scent and the 24 logo, printed in silver foil, gives a prestigious finish. The heavy cap is metallic and contemporary, aligned with the series individuality.
