Scentologia Immortal Potion by Karl©
As I embark on the new release of Scentologia Immortal Potion Extrait de Parfum (the first from the Alkeme Collection), I am drawn into a contemplation of the eternal quest for immortality juxtaposed against the fragility of mortal existence. As a reference point, I read William Wordsworth’s “Ode To Intimations of Immortality,” and this fragrance crafted by Catherine Poensin Stefani and Margherita Carini of Symrise serves as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between the immortal essence of the soul and the transient nature of human life.
In Wordsworth’s verse, “There hath passed away a glory from the earth,” I discern echoes of the profound longing for permanence that resides within the human spirit. As I inhale the delicate notes of pear and cassis, I am reminded of the fleeting nature of mortal pleasures, each scent molecule a fleeting whisper in the grand symphony of existence. Yet, within this ephemeral fragrance lies a timeless essence—a reflection of the immortal soul that transcends the confines of time and space.

Transitioning to the heart notes of jasmine, ylang-ylang, lily of the valley, and orris, I am enveloped in a symphony of floral elegance that speaks to the enduring beauty of the human spirit. Here, amidst the blooms that grace the fragrance, I find solace in the recognition of life’s fleeting moments and the profound significance found within each passing breath. Like the petals of a flower, my mortal self-unfolds in the embrace of time, accepting the transient nature of existence with respect and reverence.
In the depths of Scentologia Immortal Potion, the base notes of musk, vanilla, amber, and patchouli beckon me into the realm of contemplation, where the dichotomy between immortality and mortality is most palpable. Like Wordsworth’s ode, they speak to the eternal struggle between the finite and the infinite, the temporal and the timeless. Here, amidst the ancient echoes that reverberate through the fragrance, I confront the paradox of my own existence—a mortal being yearning for the eternal.
