Fides Spes Amor
What do you get if you take all the notes that remind you of the timeless warmth of a votive flame in a stone cathedral—where the resinous breath of ancient boughs meets a soft, balsamic embrace that whispers of eternal devotion?
Fides Spes Amor is the spiritual heart of the Veritas collection. Translating from the Latin as "Faith, Hope, and Love," this fragrance is a concentrated meditation on the virtues that endure. It is a scent of profound comfort, designed to wrap the wearer in a sacred, resinous light.
The Olfactory Narrative
The fragrance is dominated by a majestic, soul-stirring core of Frankincense and Myrrh, which comprises nearly half of the composition. This naturally derived duo creates a plume of meditative smoke that is instantly recognizable and deeply calming.
Supporting this spiritual center is a "trinity" of balsams: the sweet, vanillic warmth of Peru Balsam, the earthy stability of Copaiba Balsam, and the crisp, forest-air clarity of Balsam Fir Needle. Together, they create a woody, resinous texture that feels ancient and living all at once.
The base provides a modern, shimmering foundation. A high concentration of Ambroxan (21%) and Iso E Super (12%) allows these heavy resins to float, creating a diffusive, velvet-like aura that radiates from the skin with a gentle, persistent warmth.
