Warm, dry, softly sweet, and wonderfully unconventional, Warm Bulb captures something almost impossible to describe until you smell it: the scent of heat without the heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe inspiration is deeply personal. Clue founder and perfumer Laura Oberwetter set out to capture the warm quality of light produced by an old lamp she had taken from her father in high school and still keeps on her desk. The aging lamp overheats quickly, yet casts the kind of comforting glow associated with reading alone in the dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe idea for the fragrance crystallized when Oberwetter first encountered immortelle absolute. Its hot, dry aroma immediately reminded her of a warm light bulb, specifically the peculiar smell of a thin layer of dust being heated against glass. That unexpected association became the starting point for an exploration of materials that could suggest man-made heat through scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eWarm Bulb opens with burning dust, hot air, and black pepper, creating an airy, dry warmth with a subtle peppery spark. Immortelle, paper, and sparked tobacco form the heart, conjuring brittle pages and tobacco warmed beneath the golden light of an old lamp. Finally, sandalwood and amber-preserved vanilla soften the composition into something woody, gently sweet, and remarkably comforting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eCreated by independent Chicago fragrance house Clue Perfumery, Warm Bulb was recognized as a 2024 Art and Olfaction Awards nominee in the Artisan Category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy You’ll Love It\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn extraordinarily original fragrance inspired by the warmth of an old incandescent lamp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBurning dust and hot air create an unusual impression of warmth without conventional smoky notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eImmortelle absolute anchors the fragrance with its naturally warm, dry character\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaper and sparked tobacco evoke yellowed pages and objects gently heated beneath a reading lamp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSandalwood and amber-preserved vanilla provide a warm, softly sweet foundation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCozy and nostalgic without becoming a conventional gourmand fragrance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCreated by Clue founder and perfumer Laura Oberwetter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2024 Art and Olfaction Awards Artisan Category nominee\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFragrance Profile\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTop Notes:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Burning Dust, Hot Air, Black Pepper\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeart Notes:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Immortelle, Paper, Sparked Tobacco\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBase Notes:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Sandalwood, Amber-Preserved Vanilla\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCharacter:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Warm, Cozy, Blanketing, Dry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWarm Bulb begins with one of Clue Perfumery’s most unusual olfactory illusions.
