A Sacred Journey Through Fragrance
Inspiration
Scent #6, is inspired by the sacred rituals, celebrations, and the meditative calm that are so deeply entwined with incense and prayer. It draws upon the essence of my childhood road trips across Europe; Italy, Czechoslovakia etc, where we would often stop at ancient churches and cathedrals, their history woven into every corner. I can still recall the mingling scents—the thick, rich smoke of incense, the warm wax of candles, the yellowed paper from old books and the cool stone that echoed centuries of quiet reflections, weddings, christenings.
On these journeys, I was struck by the powerful atmosphere of these sacred spaces—places where time seemed to stand still, filled with the weight of history and the hum of prayer. It’s these moments, steeped in reverence and sensory richness, that inspired this fragrance. Scent #6 seeks to recreate that timeless, meditative experience—where incense, stone, and candlelight converge, creating a serene, introspective atmosphere.
The journey begins with a burst of bergamot, its fresh citrusy top note opening the air, clearing the mind, and setting the stage for deeper, more profound notes to follow. Like stepping through the doors of a cathedral, the fragrance then softens, allowing hinoki to unfold—a fresh, woody note, carrying with it a gentle citrus undertone that evokes the sense of temple wood, worn smooth by years of worship. The incense begins to swirl, a soft cloud of frankincense and myrrh, balsamic and slightly spicy, adding a spiritual depth that deepens with time.
As the fragrance lingers, vetiver and cedar wood settle in, grounding the scent with their earthy, woody undertones. These notes create a rich, textured foundation, like the aged stone beneath your feet in those sacred spaces. Then, the subtle warmth of labdanum and galbanum brings a resinous, leathery layer that speaks of ancient rituals and reverence, while elimi adds a light, almost ethereal sweetness, cutting through the richness with its lemony and peppery nuance.
As the scent unfolds, you are enveloped in a sense of stillness—a calm, introspective space where time slows. The Choya Ral brings an earthy, smoky depth that draws the journey to a close, while the composition is lifted with a light and transparent Muguet accord for a final touch of grace, as if the fragrance were a prayer, rising upward and leaving a trail of sacred freshness.

Scent Journey: A Sacred Experience is more than a fragrance—it is a journey, a path that unfolds with each inhale, guiding you through sacred rituals and timeless spaces. As you spritz this fragrance, you are transported to a place where the air is thick with the presence of incense smoke, where the stone walls hum with quiet reverence, and where the flickering candlelight casts long shadows on centuries-old floors.
