The question at the heart of the original Decision EDP is centred on a bolt of lightning – will it destroy the juniper tree upon which it has inflicted its electric energy, or prompt it to seek a deeper, more enduring life? In Decision 42, Quentin Bisch makes the scenario even more urgent. With a staggering 42% concentration, the composition now features a sharper evocation of the lightning, thanks to neroli, cardamom and cinnamon. The juniper has been combined with javanol, patchouli and rectified pine tar to make it darker, smokier, and more far-reaching. Finally, the base of the scent has been rendered more life-affirming with the addition of vanilla and labdanum.

These grandiose elements combine to make perfume’s existential exploration even more piercing and insightful. Fierce, uncompromising, and dazzling, Decision 42 cuts to the heart of the most vital of questions.

Editor's Notes

At first, cardamom gives a crackle that resembles a bolt of lightning, drawing its force from the atmosphere, leaving behind a melange of heat and smoke. It flashes with the bright freshness of neroli, and the ticklish sweet heat of cinnamon. This temporarily illuminates the darkness: resins coating mighty trees fleck and shine their amber tone, and light filters through a canopy of pine needles. There are two light effects in this fragrance, specifying two times of day at once. A deep, fiery amber sunlight low in the sky at dusk; and a sudden burst of lightning at midnight. Its core is woody - smouldering and electrified - made from sandalwood with leathery notes of pine tar and patchouli, freshened slightly with cedar. This is brimming with incense, which melts upon contact with vanilla and sweet labdanum resin. Decision 42 introduces a smoky and arboreal tone to the original composition, with a darker core.
