IV – IV WHITE WHALE
"Call me Ishmael. Some years ago [...] I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world." – H. Melville
The creation of White Whale was a journey in itself, built around the mystical, oceanic essence of Ambergris. Using a meticulously crafted ambergris accord, the fragrance embodies the rugged spirit of the Pequod ship, with a blend of Virginia cedarwood, cistus labdanum, patchouli, vetiver, cypress, and oakmoss, evoking weathered, timeworn wood battered by the sea.
To capture the vast, dark ocean, black pepper enhances the fresh, salty marine nuances, while Osmanthus and violet flower provide a flicker of warmth and contrast. The scent deepens with orris and olibanum, reminiscent of old book pages, completing this tale of mystery, adventure, and fate - sealed with a touch of absinthe, a final toast before the hunt for the mythical white whale.
