St. Moses the Ethiopian Extrait de Parfum
St. Moses the Ethiopian is a fragrance of strength, redemption, and spiritual transformation, inspired by the life of the desert ascetic who journeyed from a life of turbulence to one of profound holiness. This scent is a rich and complex meditation—earthy, resinous, and deeply rooted—capturing the rugged resilience and radiant grace of a soul refined through trial and devotion. With notes of dark fruits, sacred resins, and deep woods, it evokes the desert’s vast expanse, where struggle and salvation intertwine beneath the unyielding sun.
The fragrance opens with the bold, ripe sweetness of blackberry, a nod to St. Moses' wild and untamed beginnings. This dark fruit’s lushness is tempered by the sharp spark of pink pepper, which adds a fiery edge—symbolic of the struggles and passions that shaped his early life. Orris butter and iris lend a soft, powdery elegance beneath the surface, hinting at the transformation that awaits beyond the turbulence.
At its heart, an opulent blend of frankincense, labdanum, myrrh, and opoponax forms a core of sacred intensity. These ancient resins fill the air like the prayers of a penitent monk rising to the heavens, their smoke lingering in the quiet hush of desert nights. The golden glow of ambergris adds an oceanic depth, a whisper of divine mercy that softens the weight of penance with the promise of grace.
The base of St. Moses the Ethiopian is grounding and resolute, built upon Chinese cedar and Mysore sandalwood. The cedar’s dry, sturdy presence speaks to the strength of spiritual discipline, while the sandalwood offers a creamy, meditative warmth—a reminder of the serenity found in surrender. The primal allure of deer musk pulses beneath, anchoring the fragrance in the physical reality of the ascetic’s existence, while the smoky richness of styrax and the deep, roasted bitterness of coffee evoke the endurance and vigilance of a soul committed to watchful prayer.
St. Moses the Ethiopian is a fragrance of profound depth and power, reflecting the duality of struggle and redemption, the weight of past sins and the light of divine forgiveness. It invites the wearer to embrace the journey of transformation, to walk the path from shadow to light, and to find strength in humility and grace.
