I recently dusted off the original leather-bound notebook, where I first jotted down my intentions for Quinta Esencia. Flipping to a page dated January 2022, I came across a journal entry reflecting on the emotional power of fragrance—how scent is not just something you smell but something you feel, something that transports you. Those words still resonate deeply with me. Whether it’s the aroma of a rich cream or a beloved perfume tied to a specific chapter of my life, each application feels like stepping into a memory where time seems to stand still.
I have always loved perfume. I had a beloved aunt who wore Joy by Jean Patou and I can still smell her dressing room from the early 70s - a place where as a young girl I would be transported to another world. I’ve never been committed to one “signature” scent, but rather have always been drawn to the broad spectrum of options and to exploring how each makes me feel.
Fragrance has always been more than a fleeting sensory experience; it has the ability to transport, comfort, and inspire. As I created Quinta Esencia, each essential oil in our blends was chosen with care, not only for its skin benefits but also for the emotions it evokes. The grounding richness of sandalwood, the sweet floral brightness of jasmine, and the spicy warmth of rose all work together to create a symphony of scent that speaks to the soul.
Our oils are more than skincare—they are an invitation to pause, breathe deeply, and anchor yourself in the present moment. Neroli’s citrus-floral harmony calms the mind, while frankincense’s woody earthiness soothes the spirit and the skin. Ylang ylang and jasmine uplift and purify, while rose offers its gentle touch to dry or sensitive skin. Each drop is a reminder of the intention behind Quinta Esencia: to ground, calm, and connect through the power of scent.
Scent, after all, is a memory keeper. It ties us to places we’ve been and the people we’ve loved. It transforms the ordinary moments of applying a cream or oil into rituals of self-care and mindfulness. Every time you use one of our oils, my hope is that it becomes more than a product—it becomes a part of your story, a way to center yourself in a busy world and find beauty in the quiet details.
Thank you for being part of this journey with Quinta Esencia. May these fragrances bring you moments of stillness, strength, and connection—one breath, one memory, one drop at a time.
