- Clancy Baxter Perfumer:
Clancy Baxter is a remarkable figure in the world of perfumery, hailing from Australia. He is the creative force behind the multi - sensory niche perfumery brand, Sonic Alchemy.
What sets Clancy Baxter apart is his unique ability to merge different art forms. He combines the worlds of music, painting, and arthouse scent composition. Using his synaesthesia, a condition where senses that aren't normally connected blend - for instance, hearing music as colors, he creates olfactory artworks. This allows him to translate songs and artworks into perfumes, exploring the connectivity of all art forms through scent design.
Sonic Alchemy, under Clancy's leadership, has introduced a collection of captivating perfumes. Since the brand's inception in 2017, it has continuously surprised the fragrance world with innovative compositions. Each of the six perfumes in their collection, such as "Black in Deep Red", "Dorsia", "Especial", "Fiat Lux", "Ira", and "Winstons", showcases Clancy's expertise and creativity. His work not only challenges the traditional boundaries of scent but also redefines the way we experience fragrance as a form of art.
In addition to his work with Sonic Alchemy, Clancy has also created a perfume for Helena Pop's album "A Little Human Connection". Through his synaesthesia, he translated the different songs on the album into scents, resulting in a fragrance that captures the essence of the music. The perfume features notes like goji berry, purple violet flower, tonka bean, leather, and Australian sandalwood, among others, creating a complex and evocative olfactory experience.
