Deep Breath
Eau de parfum 2024Deep Breath is a fragrance that transports us back to the bottom of the sea. It takes us on an olfactory journey from the heart of the hydrothermal vents, where life is believed to have begun, to the gentle and undulating surface of the ocean.
Notes
Top notes - Sulfur & mineralsA fleeting sulfuric essence evokes the enormous, scalding fumes expelled by hydrothermal vents that disperse across the icy oceanic depths.
Heart notes - Ozone & seaweed
A chord of marine ozone reflects the rise and dispersion of sulfuric fumes across the vast ocean, mingling with the serene and ethereal freshness of the open sea.
Base notes - Oak moss & wet rock
An earthy and damp note, reminiscent of damp caves and coastal swamps, remains as a reminder of the primordial roots of the Earth and the intertwined cycle of life.
Memories of a Dream
Deep Breath is a sensory connection to our oldest ancestors, the chemosynthetic bacteria that thrived in total darkness within hydrothermal vents. These remarkable microorganisms not only endured extreme pressures and temperatures but also forged symbiotic relationships with marine life, transforming sulfur-rich compounds into energy and sustaining entire ecosystems. From these ancient sulfur-reducing microbes to modern olfactory systems, the ability to sense chemicals has guided life’s evolution for over four billion years.
Hydrothermal vents, fissures on the seafloor where mineral-rich plumes meet frigid waters, are crucibles of life, fueling unique ecosystems through chemosynthesis. Inspired by this intricate interplay, Deep Breath captures the fleeting sharpness of sulfur—echoing the vents’ mineral emissions—balanced with marine ozone and earthy floral undertones.
This fragrance mirrors the evolutionary arc of life itself, from the primordial chemosensors of ancient bacteria to the olfactory receptors that connect us to the world today. As you inhale, journey through the depths of the ocean, where life began, to the Earth’s surface, where symbiosis and the cycles of nature continue to shape existence. Deep Breath invites us to celebrate the profound interconnectedness of life and our shared origins.
