Explora Journeys Partners With Perfumer Alberto Morillas For Signature Scent

Explora Journeys has collaborated with Master Perfumer Alberto Morillas of dsm-firmenich to create a unique scent called “Mandala Blue.”

“We are proud to have Alberto Morillas craft this exquisite scent for Explora Journeys. His artistry elevates our luxury travel experience, infusing each sailing with an extraordinary sensory journey,” said Koray Savas, Vice President of Hotel Operation Explora Journeys. “This collaboration is a celebration of exploration, sophistication, and the transformative power of scent.”

Alberto Morillas, known for creating iconic fragrances, brings his expertise to this project. “Mandala Blue” captures the essence of Explora Journeys’ Ocean State Of Mind philosophy, providing a transformative and intense fragrance that connects, relaxes, and awakens the senses. This scent reflects the cosmopolitan flair and exploration of Explora Journeys’ luxury ocean travel experiences.

 “Creating a perfume is about storytelling; it should carry you somewhere. I adore the Mediterranean, so you’ll find in Mandala Blue light, fresh sea notes combined with citrus from bergamot and mandarin and some florals from jasmine and orange blossom, which reminds me of springtime in Seville,” said Alberto Morillas.
