Saint Charles Parfums – The Collection

Art of Perfumery meets Apothecary Tradition

Creating the fragrances Dulcis, Viridis, and Clarus was really a joyful, sensual, and mind-opening experience for me. The great collaboration with Alexander Ehrmann and Richard König from Saint Charles, characterised by long-standing friendship and mutual confidence, enabled wonderful new approaches in the perfume niche sector. For our joint fragrance journey, it was essential to take our time to allow the fragrances to mature carefully against the backdrop of the fusion of perfume art and apothecary tradition.

“Diffusing Terpenes: The Effects of Forest Bathing” (Scent installation at the occasion of: “durchforsten”, KMH – küefermartishuus / Liechtenstein, 27.5 – 18.12. 2022)

Studies have shown the significant physiological effect forest atmosphere can have on humans. This circumstance has lead to the so-called trend of “forest bathing” (Shinrin Yoku). Scientists assume that the effects are achieved by breathing in the forest atmosphere, which contains various phytochemicals produced mainly by trees. So far, many terpenes prevalent in forest air have been found to have strong biological activities; their possible antiviral, antibacterial, antitumourigenic or neuroprotective effects have been demonstrated. Although research is increasingly focusing on the potential impacts, scientific data and evidence as well as the understanding of the potential and possible uses of terpenes are still lacking in many cases. — mehr —

Paul Divjak widmet sich dem Phänomen Duft/Geruch transdisziplinär in den Bereichen Literatur, Medienkunst, Kulturwissenschaft und Praxis.
