PelagosMarine Woody Extrait de Parfum

Pelagos by Dusita is a niche woody, marine and powdery parfum extract, unisex, created by Pissara Umavijani. “Pelagos” means the high seas in Ancient Greek.

A house born from poetry

Parfums Dusita is an award-winning independent Parisian haute parfumerie, founded in 2016 by Pissara “Ploi” Umavijani, a self-taught perfumer born in Bangkok who arrived in Paris in 2011. Each fragrance is an olfactory tribute to the poetry of her father, Montri Umavijani (1941-2006), a renowned Thai poet. Dusita is the name of the celestial paradise spoken of in his verses, and whose quest runs through the entire collection. Pissara draws an illustration for each creation herself, capturing its spirit as much as that of the poem. The juices are composed near Grasse from largely natural ingredients, and are 100% vegan and cruelty-free. 50 ml bottle.

An opening of bergamot, litsea cubeba and sea breeze

Bergamot opens brightly, litsea cubeba — a highly lemony Asian berry — amplifies the radiance, and a sea breeze accord brings iodine and the air of the open sea.

A heart of iris butter, jasmine and white thyme

Iris butter establishes its cool, fatty powder, while jasmine brings a solar whiteness. White thyme adds an aromatic facet and tonka bean a subtle sweetness.

A base of leather, sandalwood and vetiver

Leather brings a dark density, sandalwood its creaminess, amyris its woody sweetness. Patchouli and vetiver anchor everything in the earth.

The house's signature

An iris butter at the heart of a marine fragrance, and leather in the base. This is not how an aquatic fragrance is usually constructed: iris is powdery and expensive, leather is dark and dense — two winter fragrance ingredients. This is precisely what gives Pelagos a depth that aquatics rarely have, and a longevity worthy of its extract concentration. The title says it all: this is not the beach, it is the high seas — the one we look at from a deck, not from a towel.

For whom, for what occasions?

Woody, marine and powdery, this extract is for those who find marine fragrances to be flat and ephemeral. It gives its best in the warm season, during the day, worn equally well by women as by men.

With Pelagos Dusita, Pissara Umavijani puts two winter ingredients into a sea fragrance.
