Scents of eras: how perfume reflects the spirit of the times
Every era has its own scent. Not literally, but in how it felt: what it wanted, what it feared, what...
The house of Otentic gifted the world with Elegantia 1 in 2016. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the spicy and east families. The fragrance was crafted by perfumer Jean Denis Saisse.
the Netherlands is where this fragrance comes from — and it shows. Elegantia 1 Otentic unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The scent of Elegantia 1 evolves as a layered story, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of Otentic is clear in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail.
The accord profile rests on these accords: Citrus, Floral, Musc and Wood without random overlap. Secondary accord layers such as Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The gender direction is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
In a unified mixed pyramid the notes arrive together with a soft-dry woody mood: Black Pepper, Mandarin, Musk, Neroli, Patchouli and Vetiver.
The middle and base stages are perceived as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which gives the structure continuity.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Spicy, Citrus, Musk and Floral. The palette also extends to Wood and Gourmet. Within olfactory families the composition sits in East and Spicy.
In summary Elegantia 1 holds a coherent structure — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best understood on skin.
