“When All Things Were Divine” is an inquiry into the feeling of nostalgia. It is a scent of comforting but bittersweet longing for a time that perhaps never existed. The fragrance captures the specific dissonance of the present moment failing to measure up to an idealised past.

The composition creates a deliberate tension using the raw emotionality of natural materials. It opens with the piercing green bitterness of Galbanum Resinoid, softened immediately by the richness and radiance of Orange Flower Absolute. This brightness is deceptive, resting on a melancholic and deep base of Italian Orris Butter and honeyed Benzoin from Laos.

This fragrance performs a quiet irony by utilizing complex, exquisite materials to evoke a moment of existential angst veiled in nostalgia.
