HOLY_WOOD: Californian dreams, molecules, and a kind of modern magic

nomenclature HOLY_WOOD bottles a very specific moment: 1970s California, when spirituality met subculture and patchouli still meant rebellion. But this is patchouli reimagined with zero “damp basement” baggage. The hero is Clearwood®—a clean, modern patchouli alternative made through white biotechnology and sustainably produced from fermented sugarcane. That one detail shifts the entire mood: instead of earthy heaviness, you get a transparent, weightless elegance with real sensual pull. HOLY_WOOD is a long-wearing luxury unisex fragrance that links the mythology of California to a future-facing aesthetic—high glamour with high-tech backbone. If you love unusual fragrances that feel cinematic without being loud, this is a niche perfume with quiet authority.

The opening of HOLY_WOOD: pink pepper SFE and rose light—crisp, skin-close, immediate

The start is an impulse, not an explosion. Pink Pepper SFE crackles with cool precision—an ultra-pure extract obtained via CO₂ extraction that reads more “clarity” than “heat.” Over it floats Rose Petal Nature Print®, an analytically reconstructed rose that feels less romantic bouquet and more sculpted light. Right away, HOLY_WOOD shows what it’s doing: rose without powder, pepper without chaos, freshness without citrus theatrics. Everything is clean-cut and controlled, and that restraint is exactly what makes it feel expensive.

HOLY_WOOD in the heart: Bulgarian rose and jasmine sambac—glamour without sugar

As it opens, the fragrance warms and becomes more physical. Bulgarian Rose brings depth and velvet presence, while Jasmine Sambac adds a luminous, slightly animalic tension—less “flowers,” more “skin.” This is the iconic 70s bloom, but not as nostalgia. It’s stylized, sharpened, modernized: a glamorous silhouette drawn with precision. The shine here isn’t sweet. It’s attitude—golden light, but no syrupy coating.

The signature of HOLY_WOOD: Clearwood®—patchouli of the future, dry and transparent

Then Clearwood® takes the lead. It delivers the idea of patchouli—depth, darkness, sensuality—without the earthy weight. Instead, it feels transparent and clean, like a dark tone that doesn’t smudge. This is where nomenclature really earns its name: the molecule isn’t hidden; it’s the point. HOLY_WOOD becomes a luxury niche perfume through precision rather than excess—modern, dry, and irresistibly wearable.

The drydown of HOLY_WOOD: sandalwood and suede—Hollywood warmth under cool structure

In the base, the scent plays with warmth and coolness, sensuality and structure. Sandalwood is creamy and meditative, smoothing edges without adding sweetness. Suede brings that soft, matte friction that instantly creates imagery: film sets, trailers, the glamour of late nights captured in warm shadow. The fragrance floats, but it stays tangible—like a low beat under a cinematic scene. Projection is refined and fairly close to the skin, while longevity is steady for hours. HOLY_WOOD doesn’t push; it holds.

Perfumer Frank Voelkl: precision that doesn’t need glamour—it creates it

Frank Voelkl builds tension by cutting clean lines rather than blurring materials. In nomenclature HOLY_WOOD, he pairs Pink Pepper SFE, Rose Petal Nature Print®, Bulgarian Rose, and Jasmine Sambac with Clearwood®, Suede, and Sandalwood into a silhouette that’s both sleek and sensual. California in backlight: rebellion as design, spirituality as structure, patchouli as the future.
