Jordan Barrett might not be all that different from the rest of us. Sure, there are those cheekbones, and that body. But when the Australian model stopped by Francisco Costa’s dinner party during Miami Art Basel celebrating the Creative Time–honored composer, Kamala Sankaram, he too found himself captivated by the scent of breu, much like everyone else. Rocks of the fragrant resin from the Amazonian Almacega tree, which is at the heart of Costa’s cult-favorite beauty brand, Costa Brazil, were burning at Casa Tua, giving the room the scent of jungle canopy envelopment. But that’s not exactly what Barrett was responding to. “I was wearing it,” Costa says of Aroma, the brand’s debut fragrance. Barrett apparently reached out to Costa after the event to reiterate how taken he was with the orange oil, nutmeg, cedarwood and patchouli-tinged scent, so Costa did what any seasoned creative director would: He made Barrett one of the faces of his first-ever eau de parfum.

Why the 57-year-old held back the unisex scent while he established the rest of his brand comes down to timing, resources, and some strategic thinking. “There were a lot of designers popping out of houses and launching fragrances. And I was like, This is not what I’m trying to do here. I have a bigger picture in mind,” Costa explains of a moment four years ago when he was traveling around with fragrance ingredients in his suitcase as he went between São Paulo and New York. But he kept tweaking his original concept, less out of business ambition and more out of passion. “We used to have these long sessions at a little studio in Brooklyn,” Costa reveals of the eight months he spent creating 35 iterations of the breau-inspired notes he worked on with David Moltz, the independent perfumer and founder of the popular fragrance line, D.S. & Durga. Once the two collaborators were sufficiently satisfied with their creation, Costa took it to Firmenich, where it was formalized by perfumer Frank Voelkl. There was a bit of kismet in Costa’s partnership with Firmenich: The revered fragrance house is the exclusive purveyor of a specific, ultra-clean, synthetic patchouli created by Amyris, the biotech lab that acquired Costa’s brand last year. Both the ingredient—and the big-brand backing—ultimately helped bring Aroma and its Luis Alberto Rodriguez–lensed campaign to life.
