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 contemporary orange blossom cologne.

Inspiring and carnal, Smoky Soul features smoked black tea infused with Osmanthus absolute with fruity accents of apricot.

Black tea, extracted with supercritical CO2, is smoked with Java Vetiver essence, which brings out facets of burnt hot wood. Black pepper enhances the spicy and black notes of the tea while a trace of seaweed absolute accentuates the mossy, savory and mineral notes of some Chinese teas.

A milky green fig oozing sweet musk.

FLORIAN GALLO

Konya Kolonyasi opens with a bright burst of bergamot. Crisply fruity and aromatic, it evokes old Turkish barbershops.

Then there is the juicy technicolour cherry note inspired by the orchards surrounding the city of Konya in the blessed Central Anatolia. 

In the base, black tea settles softly on the skin, recalling the endless glasses of Turkish çay (chai) shared throughout the day. 

Deep, comforting and slightly bitter.

Perfumer: Jordi Fernández (the nose behind the white floral wonder of Latin Lover).

Beso Pasion is like a sweet summer breeze caressing a Mediterranean island. A breeze infused with sea salt, the delicious aroma of fig trees, and fragrant grass cured by the hot sun.
