  • Key notes:
  • black tea
  • hedione
  • mate tea
  • moss
  • neroli
  • osmanthus
  • Aromagroups:
  • green
  • leather

Qi is part of the Four Corners of the Earth collection and represents Cathay, the legendary land where people for millennia believed in the concept of energy flows. Qi is the flow of life running through everything, invisible but essential.

It’s in the blooming flowers, the zing of spices, the tonic properties of green tea, and beyond. Qi the perfume has symbolic references to both the land and the notion of qi: Chinese osmanthus, green tea, zesty citruses, and a barely detectable to our noses molecule, hedione, which amplifies the aroma of blossoming florals. This molecule propels the blend of Qi in a gentle but confident way.

Qi has a stong green facette that comes from the tea leaves note. The house invites you to travel back in time to ancient Cathay and tea merchants' caravans making their way through vast verdant tea plantations.

The elixir is also exceptionally concentrated, at 42%. Hence the 'intensivo' in the title.

The jasmine heart becomes humanized with a nourishing accord that replicates the scent of milky skin. The result is poetry that lives on the skin.

The new and third formula in the Extreme Talismans collection (after Osang and Talento).

Athanor is a scented incarnation of the 50th hexagon from the ancient Chinese Book of Change.

50/“Ting”, alchemic athanor or cauldron – a symbol of change within, the man being the crucible in which new energies come about from various ingredients transforming and merging.

Mendittorosa in their unique alchemic way try to explore the metaphysics of the universe through perfume formulas.

Athanor is a rich incense perfume with an unusual sulfur streak.

There is a tiny gold plated bronze nugget in the bottle and the cap is a miniature of two atlas-like figures holding the athanor of change.

Note from the brand:

“[Use] your nose. Always. Feel the sulfur evaporating from the process. Giving way to a delicate body of saffron and flowers, finding its space between incense and precious wood. Let the Athanor enhance your personality and lead your way.”

Azalai

Azalai by Stora Skuggan £108.33

  • Key notes:
  • amber

  • saffron

  • Aromagroups:
  • woody

The azalai is a caravan route through the Saharan desert where camel trains have transported salt and gold for a thousand years. Along the route stood a single acacia tree, the only living thing in an ocean of sand. 150 km from any other, this was the loneliest tree in the world, a sacred testament to the resilience of life, that had guided caravans for centuries. When a drunken truck driver crashed into it in 1973, killing it, the sacred tree passed from legend to myth. This phantom tree in the desert is the inspiration for Azalai.

The scent is as an olfactory impression of gold, with radiant warmth from saffron and blood orange, and the plush musk velvione (a material redolent of the powdery scent of a newborn’s head). Gum acacia, a syrup made from acacia sap, provides sugary sweetness balanced by salty amber and incense. A touch of mint tea and dried fruit pays homage to the Tuareg caravan riders.

  • Key notes:

  • Aromagroups:

In fleeting top notes Myrtle, fragile as the promises of love, encounters the preciousness of saffron, merging into an indomitable desire for eros.

The luxuriant notes of honey are exalted by the jasmine night breeze that pervades the home of the chaste lovers, among the frescoes, on a thalamus of rose petals.

The mysterious notes of incense and sweet vanilla blend with the oriental contamination of amber and labdanum that fades into the ancient aroma of agar wood, sealing the essence of Castiamanti, expression of rich Pompeii.

A new project with Bertrand Duchaufour and a landscape artist/photographer Martin Hill.

The same way in which Martin goes to a sight and rearranges what nature left there into an installation, the perfumer rearranged some molecules and materials to put the beauty of a natural material into focus.

Also Martin aims to let his stuctures to be absorbed back into natural chaos. Perfume evaporates into the environment in a similar fashion, beautiful but transient.

In Chypre Shot all the focus is on a classic chypre effect (citrus - tart flower- dark woody background). However, the traditional rose is replaced with peony and for the signature dessert gourmand touch of his, Bertrand throws in a delectable coffee and cardamom combination.

The structure and image which were the conceptual inspiration for the perfume are below. It's a mysterious, rich haze full of the sweet scents of a meadow. There is also a nod to oakmoss (one of the pillars of the chypre architecture).
