Quintessence
Fragrance notes
Character
Quintessence suits someone who enjoys a fragrance that feels dressed without being stiff. It works for a person walking through a city market when the air is warm and the light is clear. The wearer wants something that feels composed but not overly serious.
The opening brings mandarin orange and orange blossom together with elemi. The citrus is bright and the resin adds a clean edge. Orris and jasmine form a soft heart, and the plum gives a gentle fruitiness that never turns heavy.
Powdery iris and sweet accords sit beside patchouli and earthy tones. White musk and woody facets keep the base calm. Vanilla and praline add a candy-like softness that stays close to the skin rather than overwhelming the space.
The whole composition feels like a linen shirt laid over a stone wall while the sun warms the garden below.
