Papa Toa
Collection Classique
Papa Toa is a woody aromatic leather Eau de Parfum shaped by strength, loyalty, and devotion. Inspired by Ari, the modern day warrior and father, it balances classic aromatic elegance with smoky woods, oud, leather, and ambered depth.
Ari fights not for spectacle, but for love, family, and honor. The fragrance reflects that duality: protective yet tender, rugged yet controlled. Lavender, geranium, cardamom, cedarwood, oud, leather, and tonka create a grounded scent with a steady and enduring presence.

Character Inspiration
Ari is a warrior, but not in the old romantic sense of swords and legends. His battles are modern, personal, and deeply human. He fights for his family, for dignity, for survival, and for the people who depend on him. His strength is not loud. It is steady. It appears in sacrifice, loyalty, and the ability to keep going when life offers no dramatic soundtrack, because apparently real life forgot to hire a composer.
Papa Toa is powerful, grounded, and deeply masculine in spirit. Bergamot, white pomelo, clary sage, and cardamom open the fragrance with freshness and tension, while geranium and hedione bring structure and elegance. The base is rich and smoky, built with katafray, cedarwood, cypriol, amyris, oudh, amber woods, oakmoss, elemi, ambroxan, ambrette, leather, tonka bean, and musk. This is a scent of courage and devotion, carrying both strength and tenderness in the same breath.

Perfumer
Nathalie is an independent perfumer whose work is defined by restraint and instinct. Trained in the classical tradition, she spent years inside the laboratory before choosing silence over spectacle — creating fragrances that speak only to those who are ready to listen.
Her collaboration with Scent of Qui began with a single question: what does a person smell like when they are most themselves? The answer became a collection.
She believes that the best perfumes are not worn — they are inhabited.
