Exhibiting at the2025 edition of the Barcelona Perfumery Congress (June 18th and 19th), UK-headquartered fragrance house CPL Aromas partnered with Rocambolesc, a world-renowned ice cream shop created by pastry chef Jordi Roca and Ale Rivas.
During the two-day event, CPL Aromas’ stand turned stand into a playful ice cream shop where visitors could discover The Ice Lab fragrance collection, with each scent specially paired with signature Rocambolesc nose-shaped popsicles, which could be tasted at the final stage of the multisensorial experience.
The collection featured five original creations; each built around an Aromaspace — a CPL Aromas’ signature fragrance technology — which visitors could smell individually alongside the fragrance:
- Banashore, which captures the essence of a tropical escape, with Seaside AromaSpace at its heart. Fruity banana notes make their way between gourmand white chocolate notes, sparkling salty and spicy accords add vibrancy, while warm solar floral notes wrap the fragrance in a radiant finish.
- Solycaria, a nostalgic ode to carefree summer days. Evoking childhood memories of river adventures and sunflower seeds, this fragrance captures the spirit of slow and comforting afternoons with your loved ones. Pulicaria Incisa AromaSpace takes the lead in this heartfelt olfactive story with its green floral transparent accord.
- Okumatcha, an invitation to a serene Japanese garden at sunset. Juicy nectarine and bright fruity notes meet the calming depth of Matcha AromaSpace, all softened by creamy, milky nuances. A soothing and luminous composition reminiscent of golden-hour tranquillity.
- Cocoa Glaze, where a Black Chocolate AromaSpace and Habag Mint AromaSpace combine to awake senses.
- Hibisicle, where Flor de Jamaica AromaSpace and lively and fruity notes combine to takes us to Mexico where this flower is blended with water surrounded by the most colourful settings.
At the heart of the collection lies the emerging neo-gourmand trend, spotlighting edible-inspired fragrances with a series of unexpected twists from rare and playful ingredients like sunflower seeds, matcha, milky notes, and tamarind.
“This experiential journey which engages the senses of smell, sight, and taste, sparked the interest of a wide range of attendees,” claims CPL Aromas.
