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.

Angefangen hatte die Faszination für das Olfaktorische schon in seiner frühen Kindheit. Mit einem empfindsamen Geruchssinn und einer offensichtlichen Begabung ausgestattet, machte er sich bereits als 7-Jähriger ans Sammeln von Kräutern, Pflanzen und Hölzern im Garten des Sommerhauses der Familie am Semmering; begeistert von der Vielfalt der beglückenden Wohlgerüche. — mehr —

Schneider am Berg

Organic cosmetics launch

Inspired by a summer in the Swiss mountains, the Vienna-based and award-winning fragrance artist Paul Divjak took care of the composition for the exquisite scent of “Am Berg” for Schneider Cosmetics. Balsamic spiciness of carefully selected herbs and conifers meets the clear freshness of the mountain ambience.

“Am Berg” tempts you to take a refreshing break at lofty heights, and awakens your spirits with a gentle Alpine breeze. The well balanced composition, based on biological ingredients, refreshes gives new energy, stimulates the senses and cares for the skin in a natural way.
