Olfactive Expressions is a limited, luxurious perfume collection by perfumerRosendo Mateu which he worked on for two years, and was launched before Christmas, 2015. The collection encompasses four fragrances that enable Mr. Mateu to represent his knowledge and expertise in the field of perfumery, but also to confirm why he is considered one of the best perfumers in the world. The collection of Olfactive Expressions is characterized by elegant flacons and boxes of simple lines created under the perfumer’s supervision, making the perfect statement to the whole experience.
Rosendo Mateu worked as a specialist for 40 years in one of the most prestigious perfume companies - PUIG. In that period of time he created numerous fragrances for various brands displaying his signature and his style. It was Mr Mateu’s wish to achieve balance between commerciality and development of a unique product with his every creation.
After working at PUIG, he dedicated himself to custom-made perfumes, enabling him to expand his knowledge of Greek civilization, the Roman Empire and paintings by Francis Bacon. Besides launching his new creation, one of the biggest challenges for Rosendo was creating fragrances for an exhibition dedicated to Bacon, an English painter. He spent months studying the scent of paints, canvas, humidity levels and even the time period during which Bacon lived and worked.

"The top note is inspired by the freshness of the Mediterranean, the feeling of fresh spring air that takes you to the beginning of summer: the sea breeze, with the characteristic landscapes of the coasts of Spain, Italy, Croatia and Greece. This is complemented by aromatic aspects, May rosemary flowers, thyme, lavender and sage. The notes of citrus peel, such as bergamot from Calabria in southern Italy, lime from Spain or Sicilian green mandarin also play an important part.
The middle note and the body, the heart of the fragrance, is based on soft white flower effects such as jasmine, muguet, bitter orange blossom (or neroli). These are combined with spicy notes and stimulants such as green pepper, cardamom and especially the smell of the tea flower with its leaves which blend perfectly with bergamot and woody, smoky notes, giving the fragrance its lingering scent.
The base notes have been worked with care not to neutralize on the skin, the freshness nor the character of its floral note, aromatic green tea. Sandalwood, Iris rhizomes and White Musk add the finishing touch to a fresh, dynamic and daring perfume." - Rosendo Mateu

"This fragrance opens with a note of wild, aromatic anise, conifers such as pine and juniper. These accompany and complement to perfection, the clean fresh smell of lavender essence with its base of cut hay in the fields of the French Provence.
The middle note is a floral nuance; green, rose and minted geranium leaves in accord with soapy clean notes of orange blossom (Bitter orange). In addition, the observer will notice a background of wood, amber, chocolate, tobacco, musk and sandalwood nuances, with cedar and patchouli playing with the sensual incorporation of a woody - leathery smell from OUD wood.
Forest moss and musk notes give an important hold and appeal to the fragrance. Although widely used in men's fragrances, Rosendo Mateu’s Fougère is used in this version with a nod to women, focusing on its fresh and natural floral tasty aspects.
This fragrance stands out for its power and appeal, based on nature to enjoy a remarkable persistence with comfort as its main attribute."

"The notes of this perfume refer to fresh citrus bergamot from Calabria, Neroli essential oil from Tunisia and the leathery iris from Italy. In this latest fragrance the liveliness of the Iris can be admired with also a focus on the fragrance’s value and quality.
The middle note is of the aforementioned leather-based Iris, based on natural Iris with Damascus rose and a delicious nuance from the fresh and transparent notes of jasmine flower.
The base note combines sandalwood, vetiver and very persistent notes of amber cashmere with tonka beans and vanilla, plus white musk and transparent fixers.
No. 3 stands out for its elegance, sensuality and its intense feminine note when dressing the female skin. Yet, also marking an attractive male accent which is comfortable and elegant for a man to wear: a unisex perfume that is close to perfection."

"Number 4 from Rosendo Mateu has a simple top note of natural Calabrian bergamot and natural bitter orange blossom. A delicate fragrance which caresses the skin of the wearer.
The middle note is a spicy floral blend of cinnamon, nutmeg and saffron notes with hints of jasmine petals, nuts and iris rhizomes. This scent has an especially relevant background note: most importantly, Oud wood with patchouli, sandalwood, guaiac and vetiver.
An essential Eastern aspect with labdanum, benzoin, vanilla with ambered notes and tonka beans plus musk setters, adding an attractive component of sensuality.
The main feature of this fragrance is its persistence and power, which emphasizes its very powerful OUD-Eastern background, unmistakable and very elaborated, completely different from existing notes in this style."
