Parfum Extrait
Gurjun Balsam, Cedarwood, Thai Oud, Nagarmotha, Ambrette, Guaiacwood, Castoreum Absolute, Civet, Mysore Sandalwood, White Ambergris, Hay, Green Hojari Frankincense, BeeswaxOnuphrius was a 4th-century Egyptian desert hermit, remembered as one of the most radical examples of spiritual withdrawal. He lived alone in the Theban desert, wearing only his own hair and leaves, renouncing all worldly ties in pursuit of divine union. The Monastery is established on the site where St. Onuphrius prayed, located in the Akeldama or Potter's Field purchased with the thirty pieces of silver paid to Judas Iscariot for betraying the Lord.
This Extrait de Parfum evokes this desert place, where faith smells of blood on flagstones, sun-split balsams, fermented leather, and the sweat of monks who have not spoken for years. Leather echoes slowly and deeply from walls that have absorbed centuries of stillness. It resembles worn saddles, monastic belts, parchment, and prayer stools, matured in silence.
The composition begins with Gurjun Balsam, flowing like warm oil along ancient stone corridors, its dark balsamic tone anchoring the soul before the first bell tolls. Cedarwood follows, crisp, dry, and luminous, like doors opening to morning sun against cold stone. Thai Oud rises next, earthy, grounded, and meditative, enfolding like aged wood and forest earth dampened with time. Nagarmotha adds a smoky, root-like depth. Ambrette diffuses a clean, musky softness, subtle and intimate.
At the core lie Guaiacwood, soft and embered, Castoreum Absolute, rich and resinous like antique varnish, and Civet, used in delicate trace to give depth and body. These notes are grounding and corporeal, the scent of a world shaped by human hands and natural time. The foundation consists of aged Mysore Sandalwood and White Ambergris, lending air and distance. Hay adds golden softness. Green Hojari Frankincense lifts the structure with citrus-toned clarity. Beeswax seals the composition with warm luminosity, like light filtered through waxed windows at dusk.
The Monastery of St. Onuphrius is a perfume of discipline, patience, and materials allowed to speak for themselves. It invites reflection and contemplation, shaped by time, devotion, and restraint.
