Sacristie des Arbres A reverent ode to the vaulted sanctuaries of Paris, this limited‑edition extrait weaves a fragrance family of aromatic‑woody incense. The journey opens with a luminous burst of Virginia cedarwood, instantly conjuring cathedral timber bathed in filtered light. A complex middle unfolds orange blossom adds a citrus‑flower shimmer, while dark chocolate, Alaska cedar, and a whisper of cinnamon create an ever‑shifting, liturgical tapestry. The dry‑down settles into a reverent base of tonka bean, resinoid incense, and warm amber, granting a velvety, lingering sillage that endures 10‑12 hours with moderate‑high projection. Ideal for contemplative evenings, winter soirées, or art‑gallery openings, it whispers of reverence and timeless elegance crafted for the discerning collector who savors ritual and memory in scent.
The Sanctuary of the Forest: A Silent Lesson in Wisdom
Sacristie des Arbres (Sacristy of the Trees) is an "ideal custody of the senses" set within a centuries-old forest. Part of the Memento collection, which traditionally explores the sacred furniture of historic cathedrals, this fragrance suggests that nature itself is a divine vessel a place full of wisdom, mystery and tranquil beauty.
The fragrance opens with a bracing, aromatic clarity. Notes of Pine Essence, Virginia Cedar, and Fresh Mint create the sensation of a cold morning mist among ancient trunks, cut through by a sharp, ethereal Incense. The heart balances this woody verticality with the softness of Damask Rose and the smoky depth of Guaiac Wood. The base settles into a rich, balsamic warmth of Benzoin, Vanilla, and Vetiver, grounded by Ambrette and Amber to mimic the scent of damp earth and sacred resins.
