The Sacred Heat of Transformation
Fire is more than destruction; it is renewal, a force that purifies, transforms, and marks the beginning of something new. Pulse is the scent of ritual, where smoke swirls through the air in hypnotic waves, where embers crackle in silent incantation, and where the senses awaken to something primal, something eternal.
The Sacred Smoke
Incense: Used in rites and ceremonies for millennia, incense is the scent of devotion, of mystery, of the unseen forces that shape existence. In Pulse, its resinous smoke curls through the air like a slow-burning invocation, commanding the space it inhabits. It is spiritual yet untamed, an ancient language spoken in scent, wrapping the wearer in a veil of enigmatic warmth.
The Ember’s Glow
Patchouli: Earthy, resinous, and deeply grounding, patchouli smolders at the heart of Pulse like embers glowing beneath sacred ashes. It is the scent of something ancient, something ritualistic, a force that does not ask for attention but demands presence. Smoky yet rich, it lingers like a silent vow, a tether between the tangible and the divine.
A Bridge Between Time and Romance
Some places are eternal—not because they do not change, but because they capture something that never fades. Pont Neuf is more than a fragrance; it is a passage through time, a scent that carries the lightness of a summer morning, the elegance of an afternoon in bloom, and the quiet intimacy of an evening by the Seine. It is Paris in its most poetic form, bottled. This is Pont Neuf, a fragrance that lingers like a stolen glance, a whispered promise, a fleeting moment made unforgettable.
The Morning Stroll
Bergamot: As radiant as the first light over the Seine, bergamot infuses Pont Neuf with a crisp, sunlit freshness. Its citrus brightness is effervescent and uplifting, mirroring the energy of a city waking up, where the cool morning air carries the scent of possibility. Vibrant yet refined, it is the perfect beginning to a day of adventure.
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.
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 Thrill of the abyss
There is a moment when hesitation vanishes, when instinct takes over and the unknown no longer feels like a risk, it feels inevitable. “On The Edge” is a fragrance that exists in that fleeting second, where the air is thick with anticipation, where the pull of something dark and magnetic is impossible to resist.
The Smoke Before the Fire
Incense: Mystical and hypnotic, incense has long been used in rituals, its curling tendrils carrying secrets into the air. In On The Edge, it rises like the first whisper of forbidden scents, smoky, sacred, and unrelenting. It doesn’t just fill the space; it claims it, drawing you deeper into the unknown, where clarity dissolves into a haze of intrigue.
The Descent Into Shadow
Soft yet commanding, orris unfolds like a secret long buried. Powdery and velvety, it has an almost ethereal presence, delicate but unshakable. Like the memory of something once touched but never forgotten. In On The Edge, it adds depth and quiet intensity, balancing the smoky top notes with an air of quiet confidence, the moment before mystery turns into revelation.
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.
