Skadi, named after the Norse goddess of winter, is an olfactory poem about strength, silence, and untamed nature. The composition opens with the fruity sweetness of pear and crisp apple, refined by luminous citrus fruits. Like the first sunlight on fresh snow, this opening shimmers, clear and crystalline.
An earthy accord of hazelnut and the balsamic flicker of olibanum lend a gentle warmth to the freshness – like a campfire in a vast icy landscape. In the heart note, osmanthus rises with its apricot-like blossom, accompanied by the golden pungency of saffron and delicate rose petals that unfold on a mossy base. Ambrette lends the heart a musky softness with floral transparency.
In the base, the full character of Skadi is revealed: resinous labdanum meets the soft sweetness of vanilla. Cetalox, ambrettolide, and helvetolide – modern amber-musk molecules – add depth, a skin-like intimacy, and a long-lasting sensuality.
Skadi is a perfume like a winter embrace: powerful, calm, and beguiling – a fragrance that resonates in the frost-clear air like the last ray of light of a long polar day.
