Eve’s fruit of temptation may not have been an apple, but a quince …

To find the lost Garden of Eden, explorers and visionaries have journeyed in vain to the ends of the earth. Luxuriant greeneries, inebriating flowers, vividly colored birds, luscious fruit… para_íso – “paradise” in Spanish – is the scent of their impossible dream.

The effusive Quincester®, a captive molecule developed by Firmenich, conveys the heavenly tartness of the pear-like quince.

“It’s crisp, lively, so radiant it’s almost fluorescent!” says Frank Voelkl, who admits it was love at first sniff for him.

A mirror-like waterfall reflects the light of this bright composition. The search is over: para_íso is your smile as you bite into the forbidden fruit.

 

… For the ancient Greeks, it was a symbol of love, dedicated to the goddess Aphrodite.

In para_íso, the radiant Quincester®, guides you “In Search Of” or ISO, the ubiquitous acronym. Cutting through a maze of green vines, the laser-sharp molecule reveals a vibrant oasis of green, floral, fruity and woody notes.

Iris, jasmine sambac and a full-bodied, almost coconutty muguet note, the captive Lilyflore®, nestle the tart, juicy fruit in their dewy petals. White tea Nature Print, a vividly realistic reproduction of the floral-scented beverage, introduces luminous cedarwood.
