To inhale Parfums Quartana’s forthcoming scent, FOREST OF THE GOLDEN DREAM, is to step into a realm where antiquity collides with modernity, where myth and science are not adversaries but co-conspirators in an aromatic tapestry. The latest olfactory narrative by this Fragrance Foundation Award-winning house—already lauded for its Ierofante perfume—does not merely aim to adorn the skin, but to alter one’s existential state.
The scent unfolds like an enchanted manuscript—its chapters penned by Joseph Quartana, the brand’s Founder and Creative Director. Drawing inspiration from his own healing experiences and the ancient rituals of Egypt, Greece, and Rome, Quartana’s perfume achieves a luxuriant symbiosis, layering historical gravitas upon contemporary flair.
The fragrance doesn’t just arrive; it announces itself with an accord pyramid as complex as any Greek epic. From the crown notes of Guatemalan cardamom oil and Pink Pepper CO2 to a heart filled with French mimosa and Canadian fir balsam, the perfume’s composition delves into ancient and exotic botanicals, culminating in a root of coolwood, moss, and patchouli.
It is arguably the first fragrance aimed to serve not merely as a cosmetic accessory but as an elixir for spiritual communication. Crafted near the original site of the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival, this aromatic tale weaves the wisdom of ancient wellness with the efficacy of modern science.
