HOW IT WEARS
Wavechild begins tart and fizzy with vibrant mandarin, orange and lemon. After it’s had a little time to warm up on the skin, the crisp sweetness of watermelon comes out, as well as what we believe is a calone note, which has adds a sea-breezy, salty, fruity facet to the scent. The dry down reveals creamy tropical coconut, cocoa and ambergris, which rounds out the scent perfectly. The ambergris accord anchors the scent to the skin for hours – even in the heat of the sun. Fruity without being too sweet, a little fizzy and musky, Wavechild will stick with you for 6-8 hours, no matter where the day takes you.
LORE LOVES
Wavechild is summertime subculture, bottled. It possesses a carefree, youthful vibe to it that everyone can connect to in some way. The perfect ode to surf and skate subcultures, Wavechild embodies self-expression, creativity and a just a little bit of rebellion (it’s a Room 1015 scent, after all!). Needless to say, Wavechild is completely genderless and can be worn by any/everyone.
ABOUT THE BRAND
Room 1015 is a fragrance line unlike any other. Founded by Michael Partouche a.k.a. Dr Mike (a doctor in pharmacology, turned guitar player then visionary) this brand is all about the connection between scent and music.
The name is dedicated to the hotel on Sunset Boulevard in L.A. called the Continental Hyatt House, but better known as the “Riot House”. In the 1970s, its rooms were graced by the likes of The Who, The Doors, The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin – who, like any self-respecting rock band did in the 70s, partied there until the walls shook. Keith Richards made Room 1015 famous (or infamous) by dropping a TV out of the window whilst his bandmate rode a motorcycle up and down the hallways.
So, the ethos of Room 1015 is all about trashing the hotel room of life. It’s about nostalgia for that period of freedom, sexual liberation, creative explosion, achievement of a “higher” consciousness (wink) and most importantly – rock ‘n’ roll.
Each Room 1015 fragrance is inspired by a pivotal moment in rock history – whether it’s the birth of British punk, the sex and drug revolution of the late 60s, The Beatles going to India for the first time, the groupies who lurked on Sunset in the 70s, or the scent of a tattoo parlour where your favourite band member got inked. Each scent has been designed to transport you there, and make you feel a part of it in the same way the music of that time does.
