A Symphony of Rose & Oud
Beyond the known elements, earth, water, fire, and air…There exists a rare force, a perfect harmony that binds them all together. Quinta Essentia is the embodiment of this concept in fragrance, where rose and oud, two of the most revered ingredients in perfumery, converge in an opulent, timeless masterpiece. This scent is a grand orchestration of contrasts. The delicate elegance of rose against the commanding depth of oud, softened by warm resins and spices.
The fairwell…
As the alchemy unfolds, something sacred emerges. Jasmine glows with nocturnal sweetness, floating just above the ground. Cypriol roots it — deep, resinous, ancient. Patchouli moves like velvet in the shadows. And the rose? Still there ,but richer now, darker, transformed. This is where the magic happens, the fragrance opens, evolves, reveals. Not just beauty, but depth. Not just scent, but power.
The Clash of Two Worlds
In the dim glow of an opulent casino, where the air is thick with tension and the weight of untold fortunes, a game unlike any other begins. This is not just a poker match it is a silent battle, a war waged in the flick of a wrist, the careful exhale of a breath, the subtle arch of a brow. On one side, the West, sleek and commanding, playing with calculated precision. On the other, the East, enigmatic and poised, a master of deception and patience.
The Opening Bet – Saffron
Saffron: Known as “red gold,” saffron is one of the rarest and most luxurious ingredients in perfumery. Its warm, spiced aroma lends a golden radiance to the opening of Royal Flush, setting the stage with a touch of opulence and intrigue. The scent of saffron is both elegant and bold, a perfect introduction to this high-stakes fragrance.
The Play of Shadows
Agarwood (Oud): Revered as the king of fragrance ingredients, oud brings a deep, smoky richness to the heart of Royal Flush. Extracted from the resinous heartwood of aquaria trees, this precious note evokes mystery and sophistication. It adds an earthy depth to the fragrance, symbolising the timeless elegance of tradition.
Hero Accords
Dark, bold, and irresistibly smooth, liquorices sets the tone for Sang Noir, its syrupy intensity both intoxicating and addictive. With a natural sweetness that deepens as it unfolds, it glows alongside saffron and nutmeg, creating an opening that is as rich as it is unexpected. It is the first sip of something forbidden, the slow unraveling of indulgence.
The Seduction
As the hours pass, Sang Noir deepens into something molten. Labdanum wraps around you like silk, smoky and soft. Sandalwood and patchouli hold the warmth, their resinous gravity pulling you further inward. Oud glows beneath — never loud, just persistent. Vetiver arrives last, clean and green like a final breath before the room fades.
The Language of Temptation
In the flickering glow of candlelight, where shadows dance and words linger unspoken, Sin Poetry is written in the spaces between. Between longing and surrender, between silence and confession. It is a fragrance that wraps around the wearer like a whispered secret, intoxicating yet elusive. Poetry in cashmere verses.
The First Stanza
Cardamom: Known as “the queen of spices,” cardamom’s complexity makes it one of the most precious ingredients in perfumery. In Sin Poetry, cardamom ignites the fragrance with its warm, aromatic spice, weaving an air of intrigue and anticipation. Its presence lingers, like a quiet confession waiting to be spoken, teasing the senses with its bold yet refined allure.
The Rhyme of Shadows
Violet: A symbol of elegance and mystery, violet blooms softly at the heart of Sin Poetry, its powdery sweetness both fragile and captivating. Its scent is delicate, like a fleeting memory, yet it leaves an indelible mark. Violet’s gentle allure bridges the gap between light and shadow, adding an air of quiet sophistication to this poetic fragrance.
THE STORY: Famed as the Eighth Wonder of the World, The Amber Room was presented to Peter the Great by the King of Prussia. Glowing at the heart of Catherine Palace near St Petersburg, the chamber was lined entirely with amber panels backed with gold leaf and mirrors.

Created by melting together amber, Cognac and honey, its history and brilliance has inspired the creation of this fragrance.

It opens with a beguiling watery floral and citrus accord, which slowly becomes darker as the structure evolves and becomes more daring with the vermouth accord. Finally, the noble woods bring this dark depth to the structure of the fragrance.

At the heart, green leaves, soft and rain-soaked part to reveal green tea and the bitter-vert of Artemisia, further animated by a dusting of pepper. At the base, lustrous tonka sits atop oak moss and the ambery gleam of musk. ‘Green Pearl’ is vivid olfactory gem infused with verdant incandescence. It is eminently wearable and will cut effortlessly through heat and humidity with an energising, cleansing radiance.
