About Contemplation
Contemplation by Spiritum: A New Oriental Woody Gem
Spiritum presents Contemplation, a unisex fragrance that blends the warmth of woods with the freshness of spices. Created by perfumer Philippe Paparella-Paris, this new addition to the collection launched in 2026 and already promises to become a classic.
With a complex and balanced olfactory pyramid, Contemplation invites you on a unique sensory journey. Its citrus and floral top notes give way to a deep heart and a woody, resinous base.
The fragrance opens with an explosion of bergamot, freesia, and black pepper, accompanied by rose, violet leaves, blackcurrants, coriander, cardamom, and saffron. This initial blend is vibrant and spicy, with a floral touch that awakens the senses.
In the heart, ylang-ylang, lily, magnolia, jasmine, rose, geranium, leather, iris, tea, raspberry, and cashmere intertwine to create a rich, velvety texture. Leather and iris bring a subtle elegance, while fruits and flowers soften the overall composition.
The base rests on musk, incense, sandalwood, cedar, vanilla, amber, sage, patchouli, and oakmoss. This woody and resinous base provides a lasting and comforting sillage, with a balsamic touch that invites contemplation.
The main accords of Contemplation include floral, fresh spicy, aromatic, white floral, citrus, warm spicy, woody, soft spicy, rose, and yellow floral. This diversity makes the fragrance versatile, suitable for various occasions.
The composition is the work of perfumer Philippe Paparella-Paris, known for his mastery in balancing contrasting ingredients. With Contemplation, he achieves an olfactory symphony that evolves over time, revealing new facets with each wear.
Contemplation is ideal for those seeking a sophisticated unisex fragrance with a woody and spicy character. Perfect for daily wear in cooler climates or for special occasions where you want to leave a lasting impression.
Contemplation by Spiritum is an olfactory masterpiece that combines tradition and modernity. Its complexity and balance make it an excellent choice for those who appreciate deep, elegant perfumes.
