The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
Abyssoria arrived in 2024 as part of Bey Parfum's La Collection Renaissance. Its marine composition sets Calabrian bergamot, passion fruit, and peach above seaweed, amber, and myrtle, with cedar, driftwood, sandalwood, and white musk forming the base. The name points toward an imagined depth beneath a bright tropical surface. Fruit gives the scent its immediate charm, while seaweed and driftwood pull it away from simple summertime freshness. Bergamot brings a crisp, sparkling lift, softened by the lush sweetness of passion fruit and the rounded, velvety character of peach. As the bright fruit character settles, myrtle adds a herbal quality and amber lends warmth, allowing the composition to suggest clear light giving way to cool water and shadowed shores.
The unusual part is the contrast between ripe fruit and coastal materials. Passion fruit and peach bring a rounded, sun-warmed sweetness. Bergamot adds sharp citrus light, but the heart moves toward seaweed, aromatic myrtle, and amber. Those notes introduce mineral, herbal, and resinous textures, making the composition feel layered rather than purely tropical. Cedar, driftwood, sandalwood, and white musk then give the drydown a polished, quietly tactile quality, as though sunlit fruit has settled onto weathered wood beside the sea.
The evolution
The opening arrives with brisk citrus and generous fruit, giving Abyssoria an immediate sense of warmth and openness. Peach softens the sharper edge of Calabrian bergamot, while passion fruit lends a lush, almost syrupy roundness. Together, the fruits create a bright tropical impression that feels juicy rather than restrained. As the fruit recedes, the composition reveals its more unusual center: seaweed, myrtle, and amber. Seaweed gives the heart a salty, aquatic texture, myrtle introduces a slightly herbal greenness, and amber softens these cooler elements with warmth. That shift feels like moving from a bright shoreline into cooler, shadowed water. The heart gives way to cedar, driftwood, sandalwood, and white musk, leaving a calm woody trail with a soft marine undertone.
Cultural impact
Abyssoria explores the sensory meeting of tropical fruit and marine notes. Calabrian bergamot provides a crisp opening, enriched by the juicy softness of passion fruit and peach, while seaweed introduces a salty, aquatic dimension. Myrtle and amber temper the contrast, adding herbal texture and warmth before the composition settles into cedar, driftwood, sandalwood, and white musk. This interplay invites discovery of a fragrance that moves between sunlit freshness and shadowy water, with marine notes woven through fruit and woods rather than treated as a simple aquatic effect.
The House
Bey ParfumBey Parfum arrived on the niche fragrance scene in 2024, presenting a collection of six perfumes that draw creative direction from the aesthetic traditions of the Ottoman Empire. The brand positions itself as a bridge between historical grandeur and contemporary perfumery, offering scents that evoke what the brand describes as a "Renaissance" of olfactory heritage.

Nathalie FeisthauerIn the studio Feisthauer favors a linear approach: she isolates a core accord, then builds outward with complementary facets. She often begins with a mineral or green element, adding depth through woods, resins, or subtle spices.
