The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
31BC came from Scent Nostalgia in 2022. Its story lives in the composition, beginning with a vivid tropical-fruit palette of pineapple, mango, peach, cassia, jasmine, peony, and pink pepper. The fruit notes establish a bright opening, while jasmine and peony place a floral accent around it. Pink pepper adds definition to the sweet, juicy notes, and the numbered name gives the fragrance a distinctive identity without needing a personal muse or confirmed creative story. As the composition develops, additional fruit and floral notes bring depth, followed by wood, tobacco, tonka bean, and musk in the base. Together, they create a layered scent that moves from bright fruit to warm woods and lingering sweetness.
The composition brings together a broad range of fruit, floral, spice, and woody notes. Pineapple, mango, peach, and lychee establish its fruit side, while peony, jasmine, rose, and white tea introduce floral and tea-like layers. Pink pepper adds a contrasting accent beside cassia. As the listed base notes emerge, sandalwood, teakwood, tobacco, tonka bean, and musk alter the character of the opening. The woods provide a different texture from the fruit, tobacco contributes an earthy note, tonka bean brings sweetness, and musk supports the finish.
The evolution
It begins with the brightness of pineapple, mango, peach, and cassia, accompanied by jasmine and peony and a touch of pink pepper. The fruit notes create a tropical impression, while the floral notes add another dimension. As the fragrance settles, lychee and pomegranate continue the fruity character alongside rose, jasmine, white tea, and musk. Later, tobacco, sandalwood, teakwood, and tonka bean contribute to the base. The woods change the texture of the composition, tobacco adds an earthy quality, and tonka bean introduces sweetness. Musk remains among the final listed notes, giving the overall scent a soft, blended finish. By the end, the bright fruit opening has given way to a combination of florals, woods, tobacco, sweetness, and musk.
