All about this fragrance
Vibe check
As afternoon slips into evening, St. Paul’s suits a composed, unhurried presence: luminous flowers at the surface, dark resin underneath. Its Baroque richness feels at home against a structured wool coat, with enough warmth and weight to give a quiet conversation a more formal register.
How to wear
Cool autumn and winter weather gives the rich floral-balsamic profile room to unfold. Start with one or two sprays on skin beneath clothing, letting warmth soften the woods and resins. In warmer conditions or close quarters, use a lighter application so the floral brightness is not overwhelmed by the extrait’s richness.
Who it’s for
For lovers of opulent florals, resinous ambers and incense with an old-world sensibility. Orange blossom and jasmine bring radiance, while labdanum, woods and frankincense appeal to those who prefer depth and contrast over sheer freshness or straightforward sweetness.

The nose
Eglija Vaitkevice is Exaltatum’s founder and perfumer. Her artisan approach draws on art, nature, stories and memories, with carefully selected materials, extended composition development and maturation. In St. Paul’s, she interprets Baroque grandeur through the contrast between luminous flowers and darker woods, balsams and incense.
Exaltatum’s story
Exaltatum approaches perfume as a personal interpretation of art, history and natural beauty. Its emphasis is on timeless compositions rather than fixed narratives, leaving room for the wearer’s own associations. Artisan production, from material selection and maturation to hand-filling, anchors that philosophy.
St. Paul's’s concept
St. Paul’s takes its inspiration from the emotional intensity and elaborate detail of Baroque art, with London’s cathedral as its English architectural reference. Orange blossom, jasmine and fruit suggest light against the shadow of woods, balsams and frankincense—a fragrant interpretation of grandeur rather than a literal reconstruction of the building’s smell.
Extra info
The composition pairs pear and dates with orange blossom and two varieties of jasmine, giving its floral richness both juicy and dried-fruit accents. Stephan Matthews selected St. Paul’s for his 2020 “My Favourite Five” retrospective—an editorial distinction, not an industry award.
