Nomenclature Para_iso ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 30 July 2018 7 Comments

Niche line Nomenclature will launch Para_íso, a new fragrance highlighting the synthetic quince note Quincester.

For the ancient Greeks, [quince]  was a symbol of love, dedicated to the goddess Aphrodite. The effusive Quincester®, a captive molecule developed by Firmenich, conveys the heavenly tartness of the pear-like quince. “It’s crisp, lively, so radiant it’s almost fluorescent!” says [perfumer] Frank Voelkl, who admits it was love at first sniff for him.

In para_íso, the radiant Quincester®, guides you “In Search Of” or ISO, the ubiquitous acronym. Cutting through a maze of green vines, the laser-sharp molecule reveals a vibrant oasis of green, floral, fruity and woody notes. Iris, jasmine sambac and a full-bodied, almost coconutty muguet note, the captive Lilyflore®, nestle the tart, juicy fruit in their dewy petals. White Tea Nature Print, a vividly realistic reproduction of the floral-scented beverage, introduces luminous cedarwood.

Nomenclature Para_íso will be available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

    The others in this line have left me cold, but QUINCE — a scent/flavor I love. The best quince note I’ve come across was in Diptyque Coing roomspray. I’ll have to give this one a try.

      It sounds better on its own than with white tea and “Lilyflore”, but worth a shot!

    I love quince too. Quincester sounds like a symbol of love for an AI goddess. And that promo perfume description seems to come from the pens of AI perfumers. Our days are numbered.

    I feel like the chemical is probably supposed to be pronounced “quince ester”, but I will be pronouncing it quinster like I am from Massachusetts or England.
