para_iso
Quincester®'s tart quince facet, framed by white florals, white tea and cedarwood.
Perfumer: Frank Voelkl
para_iso is framed as a search for paradise, with the tart, pear-like character of Quincester at its centre. Green vines, dewy flowers and a mirror-like waterfall form its imagined landscape.
Perfumer Frank Voelkl describes the material as crisp, lively and almost fluorescent in its radiance, and admits it was love at first sniff. The ISO in the name stands, in the brand's telling, for "In Search Of," and the scent is framed as a search for paradise.
The brand pictures Quincester® cutting through a maze of green vines to reveal green, floral, fruity and woody notes. Iris, jasmine sambac and Lilyflore®, a captive muguet note so full-bodied it feels almost coconutty, cushion the sour fruit with a soft, dewy floral layer.
White Tea NP (Nature Print), a vivid reproduction of the floral-scented drink, leads into luminous cedarwood. Sharp fruit, white flowers and bright wood settle into a clear composition that the brand compares to a mirror-like waterfall.
