The Seeker

The Seeker

Alice: “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here? “
The Cheshire Cat: “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.”
Alice: “I don’t much care where ---“
The Cheshire Cat: “Then it doesn’t matter which way you go.”
- Lewis Carroll (Alice in Wonderland)

There is this one person in every social circle who is a die-hard explorer and keeps trying out new things in all areas of life. Owing to his curious nature, he possesses information on a wide range of subjects. He also has a magnetic personality and is the life of the party. The one who is not merely a regular late-nighter, but someone with whom people enjoy interacting. A man who is not only knowledgeable, but is inquisitive about everything and is interested in your inputs on the subject. He is eager to traverse the unknown and is an adventure enthusiast. He is the Seeker.

A seeker dislikes monotony and therefore compulsively explores new avenues. This trait would result in wanderlust or research on an academic subject or preparation of a new dish in the kitchen, depending on the type of quest. It is this curiosity that keeps him going and makes life interesting for him and all those around him. Since seekers tend to be on the leading edge of things, they are the first ones in a group to try out the latest, be it technology or clothes. And what makes them the cynosure of all eyes is their tendency to personalise it by using their ingenuity.

Seekers are imaginative people who are forward-thinking and try to improve things. They are open to different possibilities and perspectives. They are not boxed in by a particular thought or approach and tend to analyse all options before deciding on their chosen course of action, which may be a hybrid outcome of all the ideas they considered. Seekers have a tremendous amount of inner strength and self-belief and this makes them stand apart in the crowd. 

In the world of perfumery, there are natural scents that remind you of the Seeker - that charming man who is an explorer to the core in everything he does and is the life of the party. Charm from Hvnly is a well-researched blend of spices, topped with citrus notes and anchored with woody notes which lends an air of freshness to the wearer while subtly portraying the masculine.
