Dare to be different, Santo Incienso, Sillage Sacré

Santo Incienso, Sillage Sacré is the latest fragrance introduction from the luxury perfumery House – The Different Company. 

The new unisex fragrance, which joins the brand’s Juste Chic collection, was created by Perfumer, Alexandra Monet, who proposed the fragrance to be ‘like a prayer turned towards the sky’. The fragrance composition is inspired by liberating the magical power of the Palo Santo, the tree that purifies the heart and the spirit.

I like the idea that we have to burn Palo Santo in order to reveal its scent. I’ve created this fragrance combining myrrh and incense with Atlas cedar, nutmeg and bergamot from Calabria in order to bring its freshness and contrast.

Alexandra Monet

Incense and Myrrh facets on a sacred wood structure, the Palo Santo, a mystical composition that captivates just like the shaman’s poem, during the ritual of Ayahuasca. The precious Musk welcomes the woody composition of the note for more comfort and sensuality. Additional notes include petitgrain, nutmeg, hedione, and milky musc.

For this special perfume, the top-designer Thierry de Baschmmakoff was authorized to create an exclusive flacon. Among others he works for Cartier, Cerruti and Bulgari. For The Different Company, he created something extraordinary. The transparent flacon bears a puristical elegance and its design combines authentic luxury with classical functionality.

Described as mystic, sensual, and eternal… The Different Company Santo Incienso, Sillage Sacré is available in Extrait de Parfum 100ml.

There are three families of perfumed objects designed by Bardet that carry the scents: a paper origami horse, a ceramic pebble and a candle bowl (available in a further choice of three sizes). The collection was mixed by Céline Ellena, daughter of Jean-Claude Ellena, the head of fragrance at Hermès. The younger Ellena has previously produced fragrances for L’Artisan Perfumeur and The Different Company.

Born in Rouen, Bardet trained at the École nationale supérieure des Arts décoratifs and has worked with some of the biggest names in design. His latest project, entitled ‘L’Usage des jours,’ comprises 365 ceramic objects created in the course of one year.

The collection will be available at Hermès stores and other select stockists. Prices range from €62 for a set of four horses to €350 for a 1,100g candle.
