On the 20th anniversary of foundation, Perfumery Quality Missala created its first fragrance – Qessence. Qessence is the result of many years of Stanisława Missala’s, the founder of the Perfumery Quality, relations with an extremely beautiful and immensely rich world of perfumes. She has always believed in beneficial effects of fragrances on human life. Qessence is the essence of her thoughts, explorations and values that she professed while creating the Quality brand. The fragrance bouquet was designed in the French city of Grasse, world capital of the perfume industry, in cooperation with Jean-Claude Astier. Qessence is of an oriental and woody character. Stanisława Missala made every effort to include the most valued notes: patchouli, oud, frankincense, saffron, coriander, iris, rose, jasmine, sandalwood, vetiver, vanilla and many more. Her dream was to make Qessence become a source of positive emotions and enthusiasm, which she herself has drawn from the surrounding perfumes over the years. (From the brand's website.)
