Perfume of the Timeless - Misplaced Pages

"Perfume of the Timeless" is a single by Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish, the first from their tenth studio album Yesterwynde. It was released on 21 May 2024. The single is the band's first published song to feature Jukka Koskinen on bass, replacing Marko Hietala. Pre-release, it had been described by Tuomas Holopainen to be an eight and a half minute long song, with the chorus coming in at 3:30 in the track.

Cover art

The cover art of the single features a photograph taken by English artist Frank Meadow Sutcliffe, featuring a young woman helping an older woman wind wool. It was taken around the late 1800s in North Yorkshire, England. Nightwish's cover art is an edit of this photograph, with vocalist Floor Jansen replacing the younger woman in the photo.
