A short history of Truly Swiss - a famous taste of Alpine Glaciers!

Swiss perfumer Vincent Schaller stood at the small lake of Bachalp and looked at the majesty of the Wetterhorn and the surrounding glaciers. He took a deep breath of the clean fresh air. His fine nose greeted the smell of the famous “Williamine” pear which the winds brought him from the bottom of the valley. On their way up they had come through a small wood of Arolle fir trees. With a smile of pleasure he recognized how this smell harmonized with the green and brown colors of the meadows around him. Well knowing how privileged he was to stand up here, he decided to bring news of this sensation to the rest of the world in the form of a new fragrance “Majesty of the Glaciers”

Back in his laboratory at Firmenich in Paris, he started creating the top note with a new musk accord together with citrus and spicy elements of mandarine, cardamom, and sclary sage and in this whiz of clean, airy notes he felt again the fresh mountain air of the Alps. The heart note, he composed of aromatic and fruity notes with a hint of pink pepper and blended them with a new water accord to see again the reflection of the blue sky in the clear water of the mountain lake. He added this to a base of moss and hazelwood and luckily found another new Firmenich ingredient which matched perfectly his sensation of the arolle firs. Happy, he leaned back.
Modern science had allowed him to bring his sensation of pureness and sensuality to other parts of the world.
