The woody and spicy notes of Santo Incienso dive you into the wild and mystic world of Amazonia. A spiritual composition imagined by Alexandra Monet like a perfect portrait of the soul’s journey, with a particular touch: the Palo Santo. Used by the Incas and the Shamans as incense during religious rituals, it is well-known for warding off evil spirits. It is a “soul tree revealed when burnt”, sings the Peruvian singer Olga Milla. The Palo Santo underlines the splendor of this perfume in its heart notes. Santo Incienso is a unique fragrance and a mystical composition that captivates, just like a shaman’s poem.
At The Different Company, we know that the perfume of the earth is demanding and rare, that capturing it will require time, respect and sensitivity, knowledge and passion. We had to pace the Atlas to find its cedarwood, pick geranium stems from the Island of Bourbon, collect natural bergamot from Calabria or Sicily, gather patchouli from the heart of Indonesia, or pick the Rose of Damascus between May and July... At The Different Company, perfume is created as a piece of art. It is unique and free, capricious and delicate, with no harshness. Seven hundred thousand Egyptian Jasmine flowers or fifty kilograms of Rose petals could be necessary for a single bottle of perfume... From cold water to perfume oil, from maceration to distillation, thousands of moments will be needed so that at the end of a long, meticulous and unstable journey, the imminence of the perfume appears, so strong yet so frail.
