The Nose Behind Unda Prisca
Laimė Kiškūnė, the talented nose behind Unda Prisca, is a botanist, chemist, educator, and olfactory artist. Laimė's dedication to sourcing the finest aromatic materials is reflected in her impressive collection of rare natural substances, the Aromateka. She actively participates in the production of these ingredients, ensuring their quality and sustainability.
The Inspiration Behind the Signature Scent
In 2015, Laimė was commissioned to create a signature scent for the Vilnius National Opera and Ballet Theatre. The initial inspiration was the iconic hot chocolate served to guests during the entr’actes. This led to the development of a fragrance that captured the essence of this beloved treat, with a subtle hint of cognac.
The Final Scent
While the initial hot chocolate with cognac scent received positive feedback, it was ultimately deemed too bold. A new version, incorporating a delicate touch of milk, was presented alongside the original. This more refined and elegant scent, representing the warmth and tradition of the opera house, was ultimately chosen as the signature fragrance.
