Nomenclature - para_iso - Eau de Parfum

To find the lost Garden of Eden, explorers and visionaries have journeyed in vain to the ends of the earth. Luxuriant greeneries, inebriating flowers, vividly colored birds, luscious fruit... para_íso – “paradise” in Spanish – is the scent of their impossible dream.

The molecule: Quincester®
Eve’s fruit of temptation may not have been an apple, but a quince. For the ancient Greeks, it was a symbol of love, dedicated to the goddess Aphrodite. The effusive Quincester®, a captive molecule developed by Firmenich, conveys the heavenly tartness of the pear-like quince. “It’s crisp, lively, so radiant it’s almost fluorescent!” says Frank Voelkl, who admits it was love at first sniff for him.

The scent: In Search of Paradise
In para_íso, the radiant Quincester®, guides you “In Search Of” or ISO, the ubiquitous acronym. Cutting through a maze of green vines, the laser-sharp molecule reveals a vibrant oasis of green, floral, fruity and woody notes. Iris, jasmine sambac and a full-bodied, almost coconutty muguet note, the captive Lilyflore®, nestle the tart, juicy fruit in their dewy petals. White tea Nature Print, a vividly realistic reproduction of the floral-scented beverage, introduces luminous cedarwood. A mirror-like waterfall reflects the light of this bright composition. The search is over: para_íso is your smile as you bite into the forbidden fruit.

Frank Voelkl
A cosmopolitan whose first calling was diplomacy, the German-born, New York-based Frank Voelkl grew up in the Netherlands and France. It was in his grandfather’s farm in Germany that he discovered the scents of nature. As a teenager in Paris, he was drawn into the world of fine fragrance, spending his weekends happily sniffing away in a parfumerie on the rue de Rivoli. But it was his wife’s birthplace, Tahiti, which inspired his first composition in 1997, Tiaré by Chantecaille. Frank, who has been working for Firmenich since 2005, thinks of scents in terms of colors, melodies and musical movement. In his compositions, he strives for “perfect imperfection”— to him, it is those very imperfections that yield beauty and emotion. With para_íso, he signs his fifth composition for Nomenclature.

Mehr über Nomenclature

Noun, English \ German: nomenclature


From the Latin nomenclatura (‘list of names’, ‘naming’), from nomen (name) + calare (‘to call’), it refers to the naming, naming system or technical terminology used in a particular scientific discipline, subject area or art.


You may not know their names, but you have certainly smelled their scent. You may even be smelling them right now. Without them, your scent would simply not exist.


While natural essences are in the public eye, synthetic substances are the secret instigators of fragrant revolutions. Whether they mimic nature, unlock its greatest secrets or sweep into botanically impossible scents, synthetic substances are the true building blocks of perfumery. Elegant solutions discovered by scientists sweep from the laboratories onto your skin and into your nose.


Nomenclature pays homage to the design of perfume chemistry by presenting today's most inspiring and exclusive molecules – so exclusive that some, known as ‘captives’, are closely guarded by fragrance companies.


With its series of refined and progressive compositions, Nomenclature explores their complex facets and their potential to take centre stage. In doing so, it demonstrates that these man-made hybrids of poetry and science possess a beauty all their own. The beauty of modernity.
