NEW: Immensité Bleue
The "blue immensity," a "vase of sadness," a nocturnal poem by Baudelaire—an evocation of the shadow archetype as described by Jung: the darker, unknown, and fragile aspects of the self. Immensité Bleue draws from these depths, a sensory reflection of mystery and vulnerability. Powdery and mossy, shimmering with a subtle blue-green iridescence, it captures the elusive feeling of wandering through twilight spaces within. Juniper berry and black pepper create a crisp, windswept opening, while verbena and basil add a flicker of brightness amid the shade. A base of sweet amber, sacred resins, and moss anchors the scent in the quiet hush of introspection, inviting the wearer into a contemplative, dreamlike reverie.
Meditations
A contemplative fragrance inspired by the delicate dance between presence and absence — a study on being and nothingness, shaped through scent. This perfume invites the wearer into a meditative state, echoing ancient rituals and quiet revelations. It is an aromatic reflection on the hidden architecture of existence, where silence carries weight and the invisible is given form. A scent for inward journeys, philosophical inquiry, and the moments in between thoughts. The dry, velvety composition opens with the sacred resinous breath of myrrh and frankincense serrata, grounding the soul in timeless stillness. Blue hemlock absolute adds a note of forest solitude — green, slightly bitter, and ethereal — a reminder of vast inner landscapes. Siam wood and aged hibawood deepen the experience with warm, polished wood tones, like sun-faded temples and forgotten sanctuaries. Finally, a restrained amber accord lends quiet radiance, like the soft glow of insight emerging from deep within.
Final Batch: Sonnet 98
A fresh and gently complex scent that reflects on themes of time, change, aging, and desire. Sonnet 98 brings together crisp herbs and bright citrus to create a composition that feels both grounded and quietly invigorating.
Red mandarin and may chang give the opening a light, lemony brightness. Ginger adds warmth and a soft bite, while sage and thyme offer an earthy, slightly dry herbal character. Lavender and geranium introduce a subtle floral nuance, balancing the freshness with depth and calm.
The overall impression is clean, aromatic, and slightly nostalgic—an evolving scent that moves through moments of clarity, warmth, and reflection. It captures the rhythms of life and the quiet tension between what passes and what lingers.
