Explora Journeys, in collaboration with master perfumer Alberto Morillas, from the Dutch-Swiss fragrance and aroma company Dsm-Firmenich, have created a personalized fragrance, “Mandala Blue”.
Born in Seville, Alberto Morillas' career began 50 years ago and includes the creation of some of the most iconic fragrances of all time.
“Mandala Blue” by Explora Journeys captures the essence of the Ocean State of Mind. The fragrance reflects the exploration and cosmopolitan style of Explora Journeys' luxurious ocean travel experiences.
The fragrance features a blend of bergamot, mandarin and Paraguayan petitgrain essence notes, with hints of jasmine, tonka bean and orange blossom, and notes of marine amber, guaiac wood and musk.
This exclusive perfume is used in different formats by all Explora Journeys ships, from fragrance diffusers in suites to candles and toiletries, so that the fragrance becomes an integral part of the Explora Journeys onboard experience.
Alberto Morillas, based in Geneva, is famous for his olfactory mastery, having created almost a thousand perfumes for brands such as Cartier, Calvin Klein, Giorgio Armani, Gucci, Bulgari, Mugler, Kenzo and Marc Jacobs.
Speaking about his inspiration for “Mandala Blue”, Alberto Morillas commented: “Creating a perfume is about telling stories; it should take you somewhere. I adore the Mediterranean, so in Mandala Blue you will find light and fresh marine notes combined with the citrus notes of bergamot and mandarin and some floral notes of jasmine and orange blossom, which remind me of springtime in Seville.”
Furthermore, he explained: “This fragrance is designed to awaken the senses and inspire a sense of discovery, recreating that musky aroma of the warm sun on teak terraces, enriched by the sea breeze and the intoxicating smells of Europe in summer.”
Koray Savas, Vice President of Hotel Operations at Explora Journeys, stated: “We are proud that Alberto Morillas has created this exclusive fragrance for Explora Journeys. His artistry elevates our luxury travel experience, infusing each voyage with an extraordinary sensory journey. This collaboration is a celebration of exploration, sophistication, and the transformative power of scent.”
