Clean perfumery: what is a 'green' fragrance?

In the world of exquisite fragrances, Maori Collection is a special guest, born in Italy but inspired by the legends of distant Polynesia. The brand emerged in 2017 as the fruit of an exclusive collaboration between the acclaimed Italian perfumer Paolo Terenzi and a renowned Russian retailer. This is not just perfume, but an entire journey into the culture of New Zealand's indigenous people, the Maori, where each bottle becomes a vessel of ancient wisdom and strength.
The DNA of Maori Collection is a deep respect for the traditions and art of Maori tattooing, known as 'ta-moko'. For this people, tattoos were not mere decoration, but a sacred language telling the story of lineage, status, and spiritual qualities. It is these symbols that form the basis of the bottle design and the concept of each fragrance. Paolo Terenzi brilliantly translated visual images into olfactory ones, creating perfume stories that speak to the soul in the language of emotions and memories.
Thus, choosing a Maori scent means selecting not just a fragrance, but a talisman carrying a specific energy. The sun on the Inception bottle grants vitality and optimism, while the lizard in Magic Guard protects intuition. The ray symbolizes boundless freedom in Freedom Wave, and the turtle in Wellness Skill attracts well-being. Every detail is thoughtfully crafted to create a holistic and magical experience.
The success of the collection is inextricably linked to the name of its creator—Paolo Terenzi, co-owner of the legendary niche house Tiziana Terenzi. Known for his passion for complex, emotional, and long-lasting compositions, Terenzi brought all his experience and signature touch to Maori Collection. His ability to work with rare and natural ingredients, creating multifaceted narratives, has made Maori fragrances recognizable and beloved among connoisseurs of niche perfumery in Russia and beyond.
Over the years, the lineup has been enriched with true hits that have become the brand's hallmark. The fruity-floral burst of Passion and the delicate romance of Love, introduced in 2019, captivated hearts with their cheerfulness. Among the bestsellers, the powerful and mysterious Deep Mind also stands out, embodying the flying heron—a symbol of deep love and devotion.
Special attention is deserved by later works, such as Air and Aqua, released in 2020 in elegant golden bottles. Air, with the jellyfish symbol, grants a sense of creative flight, while the spicy-oriental Aqua, with the eagle, becomes a talisman of courage and protection.
Maori Collection perfumes are a benchmark of the niche approach: a unique story, the highest quality of raw materials, and a recognizable style. The compositions boast impressive longevity and a beautiful, perceptible sillage, which is the hallmark of perfumer Terenzi. Most fragrances are created in a gender-neutral unisex aesthetic, allowing everyone to find their own symbol and mood. For brand enthusiasts, it is not just perfume, but a personal amulet, a source of inspiration and inner strength, enclosed in an artistic bottle.
