Purple Mantra

by Serge De Oliveira
A violet, hypnotic drift, between incense and a mind that wanders off. Purple Mantra is set at a turning point, between reality and altered perception. A dark room, violet light, incense burning slowly. Time stretches, thoughts become slower and deeper.

The fragrance

Purple Mantra is set in a quiet room, violet light, incense burning slowly. It is the late 1960s, a turning point when some people were looking for something other than excess. The perfume draws on that inner quest, like The Beatles heading to India to slow down, meditate and explore another state of consciousness.

From the opening, an aromatic, slightly green facet appears, quickly wrapped in something darker and resinous. The effect is immediate, almost introspective, like an atmosphere that shuts out the noise outside.

Then the perfume becomes denser. The notes take on a warmer, thicker texture, with a slightly smoky, meditative dimension. The whole gives a sense of re-centring, as if everything were settling.

Over time, Purple Mantra settles into a soft but distinctive base, between resins, musks and lasting warmth. The signature is cocooning, almost hypnotic,

The brand

ROOM 1015 is a niche perfume house founded in Paris in 2015 by Michael Partouche, a pharmacist by training and a musician at heart. His passion for psychedelic rock took him to London, where he played with his band for five years. Back in Paris, he looked for a third language, one that would bring together the pharmacist's precision and the musician's energy: perfume. The name comes from a hotel room. In the 1970s, the Continental Hyatt House in Los Angeles was the hangout of rock bands on tour. Legend has it that Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards threw a television out of room 1015, sending the hotel into rock history. Fragrance becomes a symbol of rebellion, a banner inspired by musical movements, philosophies and alternative spiritualities. A scented manifesto swinging between the punk movement, artificial paradises, the sexual revolution and transcendental meditation. Each perfume tells the story of a specific moment: Cherry Punk begins in Vivienne Westwood's shop, Hollyrose pays tribute to the groupies of Sunset Boulevard, Yesterday imagines The Beatles shaving together in a hotel bathroom. The compositions are signed by the Flair studio, founded by perfumers Amélie Bourgeois and Anne-Sophie Behaghel.
