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.

A bionic fragrance from the future, where nature and technology unites to create something extraordinary.

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.

You’re being followed by a myrrh shadow. A shadow that traces your outline, then embellishes with enigmatic depth. This intriguing extrait de parfum flirts with myrrh’s dark charm, tickling its dusty delights with peppery cedarwood, spicy akigalawood and earthy patchouli. The zesty sparkle of bitter citrus succumbs to an enveloping cloud of benzoin and musk as the shadow lengthens, leaving behind an echo of the fascinating person everyone longs to meet again soon.

Almaz, the Arabic word for diamonds, are renowned not only for their beauty, but also for their timelessness as they withstand millions of years of immense pressure in their formation. This EdP references the indestructible nature of diamonds with a powerful blackcurrant-led bouquet. Juiciness is enhanced with raspberry, while powdery heliotrope and musk add padding to the cushiony feel. The ambered base, redolent with vanilla and brown sugar, offsets blackcurrant’s tartness.
 
The jewelled bottle incorporates a poem composed by Elen Jeres Ayoub, portrayed in Eastern Kufic calligraphy. The words have been meticulously placed so that the vertical lines create eight zones on the bottle, representing the lunar phases in each lunar calendar month to represent the passage of time.

The seasons and their times
And pressures and their effects,
Bear Diamonds as their fruit.
-Elen Jeres Ayoub
