Manifest
At The Different Company, we know that the scent of the earth is demanding and rare, that it can only be captured through the time needed to do so, with respect and sensitivity, with knowledge and passion.
At The Different Company, we love that this time is uncompressible, that it requires us to wait for it, to master it, inviting us to live it, year after year, second after second.
We have roamed the Atlas Mountains to find its Cedar, picked Geranium stems from the islands of Bourbon, harvested natural Bergamot from Calabria or Sicily, gathered Patchouli from the heart of Indonesia, or the Damask Rose between May and July...
At The Different Company, we tirelessly seek out soils and lands capable of giving the best of barks, roots, petals. We know that nature, finely carved by the elements, will not offer the same notes from one humus to another, from a rainy season to a summer sky...
We had to challenge the Shamans of Ecuador to allow other skins to experience Palo Santo, the sacred wood protected by the Incas... We needed traditional porcelain pots to bring back the concrete of Osmanthus flowers from China…
At The Different Company, we believe that matter has a soul and that its vibration carries its story like a subtle imprint.
We had to take a chance on Caloupilé leaves so they might gracefully intoxicate, and sometimes it’s necessary to work on formulas hundreds of times. For in the pursuit of olfactory perfection, letting creativity run free demands time, boldness, and great conviction.
At The Different Company, freedom knows no bounds, and the work is generous. While our master perfumers follow classical tradition in the rules of the art, they also take pauses and introspect to better understand their experiences.
At The Different Company, perfume is created as a work of art. It is unique and free, capricious and fragile, permitting no harshness. For a single bottle, seven hundred thousand Jasmine flowers from Egypt or fifty kilograms of Rose petals may be required…
From cold water and essence, from maceration to distillation, thousands of moments are required so that, after a long and meticulous journey, the imminence of the scent appears, both strong and delicate.
Because at The Different Company, we are architects of joy, builders of vertigo, founders of infinity. We want our perfumes to brush against the delicate fragility of happiness. We seek the immortal essence that will exalt nature and capture the tremor of its breath. We want our perfumes to be born from the source to live in eternity.
