All About Alpha
Alpha Essence is a unisex scent that harnesses and represents the "divine masculine" within us all while also stimulating the Alpha brain through the aromas of nature. Through the infusion of the essences of precious woods, in combination with our venerable Ambre Essence, emerges Alpha Essence.
The first in our Noir Collection, this scent is bold, primal and transcends space and time. It howls with nature while also staying true to the roots of our flirtatious and sensual Ambre Essence. This combination embodies our innate sexual energy and mother nature. Alpha is sensuously uncensored.
Inside Alpha
All the essential oils we use in this signature blend are 100% pure, grown sustainably, and harvested with integrity. These precious oils are infused with our original Ambre Essence.
- Agarwood (base note): Sourced from Vietnam, Agarwood can nearly induce a trance-like state. It is a highly persistent, warm but deep scent with a woody aroma. It is rich, balanced, complex and unforgettable! This resinous wood is most commonly referred to as "oud."
- Sandalwood (base note): Sourced from Australia, Sandalwood is a staple ingredient of Ambre Blends. It has a soft, sweet, yet woody aroma with excellent tenacity and a smooth dry-down. Sandalwood is world-renowned for its spiritual and sensual qualities as well as its calming fragrance.
- Hinoki Wood (middle note): Hinoki is a cherished Japanese tree. The aroma is dry, fine, woody and has a soft, herbal overtone. Conversely, the undertone is warm, sweet and somewhat spicy. People describe its scent as clean and this quality that is the reason it is used in bathing rituals in the Shinto religion. Old growth Hinoki is categorized as a near endangered species and is highly regulated. The Hinoki essence we employ is being sustainably culled under the supervision of the Japanese government. Our Hinoki essence is distilled using only the leftover wood unsuitable for lumber.
- Rosewood (middle note): This is a beautiful oil and one of my favorites. It comes from Peru and has a subtle, yet surprisingly sweet, woody aroma with a slight floral quality to it. Rosewood has many healing properties as well. Although rosewood is now also an endangered species, the rosewood that we use is CITES certified (the Convention of International Trade of Endangered Species). CITES is a multilateral treaty to protect endangered plants and animals worldwide.
- Cedarwood (top note): Sourced from the Himalayan Mountains in India, cedarwood carries a dry, woody and balsamic scent with a slightly crude, camphoraceous top note that integrates beautifully with the other oils in the Alpha blend. Cedar trees have played a role in aromatics since ancient times. From Egypt to India, the Mediterranean and North America, the cedar tree has been respected and revered. Cedar trees are considered the “timber of the gods” and are ideal for meditation.
