ficifolia fragrances is an ode to city smells

By the frankie team
18 September 2023

Catch a good whiff of the scents of the city.

Smelling like the city might conjure nose-wrinkling recollections, like the unpleasant odour of exhaust fumes, restaurant kitchen grease or overflowing rubbish bins. But during Melbourne’s pandemic lockdowns, Sophie Marcoux honed in on the far more romantic and aromatic side to her city, developing a line of scents dedicated to the place she loved and missed. Ficifolia fragrances include Intermission (a warm and spicy ode to Melbourne’s theatres), Rose Street (a floral celebration of eclectic Fitzroy) and Out of Office (a juicy, spritzy reminder of post-work drinks along the Yarra). To delight your olfactory senses, take $190 over here.

These scents come straight from the pages of issue 115. To get your mitts on a copy, swing past the frankie shop, subscribe or visit one of our lovely stockists.
