Oratorio

Oratorio grew from a real and imagined journey between Prague and Paris. It brings together the constant movement of a city and the stillness of an old church. Citrus, flowers, wood and resin provide the material for this contrast of light and shade.

Hand-pressed mandarin oil and neroli create a bright opening. Olibanum, cedar, Atlas cedar and jasmine form the heart, connecting drier wood and an incense impression with floral softness. Patchouli and opoponax make up the base, adding balsamic depth beneath the brighter notes.

It can accompany a gallery visit or a quieter occasion when flowers and incense make an appealing combination. Someone seeking mandarin brightness alongside resin may enjoy exploring it. Created by Théo Belmas, Oratorio appeared in 2023 as an eau de parfum. The illustrated 50mL bottle has rounded transparent shoulders and a wooden cap.
