The Good Shepherd Extrait de Parfum
The Good Shepherd is a fragrance of profound compassion and quiet majesty, inspired by the Orthodox image of Christ as the tender guide and guardian. This composition is a contemplative tribute to humility, strength, and divine love, weaving together soft, earthy, and luminous notes to evoke the pastoral serenity of a shepherd’s care and the spiritual depth of sacred devotion.
The opening is gentle yet radiant, with ylang ylang absolute and orange blossom absolute blooming in tandem. Their floral sweetness is rich but never overpowering, evoking a sense of nurturing warmth and luminous grace. Saffron oleoresin threads through this light with a golden, spicy glow, reminiscent of sacred garments touched by sunlight.
At the heart of the fragrance lies wool absolute, a soft, comforting note that envelops the composition like a shepherd’s cloak. It brings an earthy, animalic warmth, grounding the ethereal florals in a tactile sense of protection and care. Jasmine grandiflorum lends a luminous, almost celestial beauty, while reseda and poplar bud introduce a green, herbal depth, echoing the tranquility of verdant pastures and quiet woodlands.
As the scent deepens, the base unfolds with the sacred richness of ambergris, Mysore sandalwood, and deer musk. Ambergris offers a sense of infinite expanse, a soft, oceanic note that speaks to eternity and the divine. Mysore sandalwood’s creamy, sacred warmth anchors the fragrance in serenity, while deer musk adds a subtle, primal depth, grounding the composition in the human experience. Patchouli absolute and immortelle intertwine to lend an earthy, resinous sweetness, evoking the timelessness of ancient paths and the enduring care of the Good Shepherd.
Port Oxford cedar introduces a final, woody clarity, its dry, resinous quality like the sturdy staff of a shepherd—a symbol of guidance and steadfastness. This note resonates with the fragrance’s core message: a balance of strength and gentleness, authority and compassion.
The Good Shepherd is a fragrance of profound spiritual resonance and pastoral beauty. It invites the wearer to step into a world of quiet contemplation, where divine care and human humility coexist in harmony. Wear it as a reminder of the enduring presence of love, guidance, and the serene majesty of the sacred.
