Description
The soul of this fragrance lies in the captivating interaction between three unlikely yet perfectly woven notes I call it triple P: peach, pink pepper, and powder. The peach glows with a nectar-like softness. Pink pepper adds dimension, giving sparkle and lift. Then there’s the powder, gently pulling the composition into something cozy and familiar, taking you on a vacation to your favorite island, with that hot tropical ocean breeze.read more
The Natuna Oud - The Heartbeat of Atlantis
But what truly anchors Atlantis is its use of wild Natuna oud deep, tropical, and unlike any oud you’ve likely encountered as well as being super rare because oud from this island is usually never sold to outsiders. This is not the dark, brooding oud found in overly smoky or skanky blends. This one has salt on its lips and fruit in its heart. Each 15ml bottle contains a full gram of this rare, wild-sourced Natuna oud a super high concentration, particularly at this price point. The oud interacts with the fruit and florals in a way that’s nearly magical, drawing out ripeness in the peach, heightening the citrus notes, and tying everything back to the earth with its deep, humid woodiness.
Top Notes - A Fresh Dive
Atlantis opens with Italian bergamot bright, zesty, and immediately uplifting. It flows effortlessly into sudachi, a sharp, almost metallic Japanese citrus that cuts through with green brightness. The pink pepper, as mentioned, adds that champagne-like fizz, not aggressive but super refreshing. This effervescence is softened by Turkish rose otto and then quickly joined by the unmistakable golden fuzz of peach. They are all alive and blooming in the heat of day as you sweat the scent just gets more and more powerful. And then comes a wisp of civet, barely noticeable at first, just enough to stir something animalic under the surface. The brown ambergris tincture woven through the top, heart, and base gives a scent of saltwater ocean in the air.
Heart Notes - Lush Depth and Petal Warmth
As the top notes begin to settle, Atlantis reveals its rich, floral heart. Osmanthus leads, its peach-like scent merging seamlessly with the peach from above. Gardenia brings a sour tangy weight and depth, while pomelo blossom and jasmine sambac add a seductive lift. Lavender plays an unexpected supporting role: cool, herbal, and grounding keeping the heart from becoming too sweet or heady. Ylang ylang reinforces the powdery theme and slowly digs out the more tropical facets of the peach. The brown ambergris tincture continues to echo here, connecting the blend to the sea.
Base Notes - The Hidden Kingdom
And then, at last, the base emerges. This is where Atlantis earns its name. The Natuna oud takes center stage, casting a wide and resonant foundation: slightly fruity, deeply woody, with nuances of that salty oceanic breeze. Frankincense and myrrh bring a resinous backbone helping the longevity of the scent. Coumarin and French vanilla smooth everything while dark labdanum gives a dark edge, pulling the sweetness inward while adding depth. Mysore sandalwood adds a bit of airiness and lift while the final touch of Brown Ambergris brings it all together. Atlantis is made entirely from natural materials, and you can feel that in every phase of its development.
