Echt Colognes I and II Project in progress, launch in 2024

Using cologne we are carefully conjuring up and encapsulating a character, dreams, memories and emotions. As this can be very powerful, a cologne should be inspiring and unmistakable. But, how can we express our personality and our soul with mass produced and marketed products?

We wanted a line that continues the ways they used to be conceived of traditionally. For men who do not like synthetics, dyes, preservatives, or stabilizer. To craft the right way, we entered a collaboration with the monks of the Abbey of the Order Port Royale - and a pharmacologist, and compose original cologne for men that radiate impressive power but are restrained in appearance, ECHT I and ECHT II.

The term Eau de Cologne was introduced for the products of a perfumer in the German city of Cologne, around 1742. While reports date personal fragrances back to the ancient Egypt, medieval traders brought precious essences and rare ingredients from the Orient via the Silk Road to the occidental culture in Europe. After around 1100, monasteries started a tradition, developing own formula for products made for clergyman, knights and noble families. We discovered the apothecary of the Cistercian Order in the Abbey Sankt Severin in Germany, that preserved some of these formula. For our Cologne line, the brothers of the Order of Port Royal in Bavaria started a project with us – is the team of a pharmacologist, Felix and Jörg, who has a degree as MD, a PhD in experimental surgery and a PhD in bio engineering. We have experience in developing adult skin stem cell regenerating therapies, with the "Skin Gun".

Goal of our research was a subtle but resolute statement of intense genuine masculinity, of values - authentic, substantial but not aggressive.

With our medical background, we avoid non-natural ingredients, preservatives, stabilizer and emulsifier.

Considering the numerous possibilities of combinations the composing of a scent is more an art that requires century-old skills. We formulated two extraordinary scents that reflect the paradoxical nuances of a man, passionate and master of himself; his exuberant vitality, his awareness of his flaws and his willingness to overcome them.

ECHT I surprises with vibrant spicy top notes including a dynamic accord of essential orange and lemon oils, that morph smoothly into a sensual resin amber warmth head note, before yielding finally to woody cedar, leather and mineral base note tones.

ECHT II gives an unexpected contrast between including citrus, magnolia and cedar wood resin elements.

Both, ECHT I and ECHT II, base solely on pure, natural precious ingredients and are blended as alcoholic and watery solutions with with the finest traditional cistercian craftmanship.

We offer delivery in a crafted precious container, and -as we are sure you will want to come back for more- a simple packaging for refills.
