Our friend PATRICK KELLY is modern day alchemist and his line of gender-neutral fragrances SIGIL pays beautiful homage to ancient technique while embracing contemporary edge
The scents are mystical and have connected intent in their formulation - and are all 100% natural
MAGNUM OPUS was my opportunity to experience each one of the new fragrances —- to say choosing one was hard would be an understatement
But the one that connected with me the most was PRIMA MATERIA
“In ancient times, prima materia referred to the formless root of all matter—a blend of stars and soil from which all things emerge, and an essential component in the alchemy of turning base materials into gold. Uniting the earthly and the heavenly, Prima Materia is a scent rooted in soot yet elevated by sparkling notes of fresh citrus. The creamy sweetness of neroli and the cleansing power of white sage embody celestial matter, while oakmoss and woody vetiver signify the spirit of the soil. As it melts into the skin, the alchemy of the scent begins—revealing a golden, resinous heart of pure amber.”
The best part about wearing this scent is noticing the subtle changes as the day progresses - like a fragrance journey
It’s grounding and fresh, and it’s special - and has become part of my daily ritual
