The Story

Freshly crushed and spicy Thai Basil leaves meet the sparkling peppery and grapefruit facets of Nepalese Timut Pepper absolute. A brilliant combination that contrasts perfectly with the bold woody signature of the fragrance. A green, rich and earthy Haitian Vetiver oil echoes with Georgywood – an exclusive molecule with powerful cedarwood tones. This vibrating woody association is illuminated by the sophisticated floralcy of Petalia. Majestic Akigalawood truly signs the fragrance. This exclusive natural ingredient is upcycled from Patchouli through a biotechnology process. Its unique spicy-woody character is enhanced by a rich Indonesian Patchouli oil and a powerful, sustainable note of Ambrofix.

“I created this fragrance around a precious and extraordinary wood: Akigalawood. Adorned with fresh spices, it is a great woody note made of contrasts, between patchouli and Thai Basil.”

— Quentin Bisch

The House

Essential Parfums is the Paris house Géraldine Archambault founded in 2018, after three decades in the industry, to push back against everything that makes fine perfumery opaque. Her manifesto is simple: put the fragrance and the perfumer first, and credit the perfumers — not the brand — as the real artists. She strips away superfluous packaging, marketing, and middlemen, builds sustainability into every composition, and prices the results so haute parfumerie isn't a privilege.
