Olivier Durbano White Stone Prophecy 19.1.0 collage
Debuting at Pitti Fragranze on September 15th is the 19th “stone poem” in perfumer, artist, jeweler, Oliver Durbano’s evocative fragrance collection. Unlike many of his past perfumes over the past 19 years, White Stone Prophecy 19:1.0 is not based on a gemstone.

Olivier Durbano is deeply spiritual and each composition always comes with a number which has deeper significance; here, the white stone is based on a passage from Revelations, “To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.” Revelations 2:17-19
Olivier Durbano describes the significance of White Stone Prophecy as representing a white page, a gift from heaven, a new World, a new humanity. His perfumes, all made by hand in Grasse, find harmonies in the natural and spiritual realms. Olivier Durbano White Stone Prophecy 19:1.0 is in Olivier’s own poetic words:
“A New Name, a White Prophecy
The Arcana reveal…
19, the Sun: Success, Fulfillment & Peace
10, the Wheel of Fortune: Providence & Transformation
1, the Bateleur: Energy & Beginning
The White Work of spiritual alchemy is the second step in the process that leads to the new man.
It’s a resurrection, symbol of a new form of existence, a spiritual rebirth of a pure, diaphanous form, a child dressed in white, a white stone.
The Soul rises, like the air, towards the higher principle, the Source, the Divine.
Water Raw Light of Wisdom
through the birch forests
High, Pass the Truth Mirror
by Whiteness, Incense, magic
from the Grass of the Virgin
to the Tree of Life that springs
Grass of the stars flies
Madness, shooting violets
Soft outstretched hands caress Victory
Without a sound, resounds
Motionless time pauses
The Word shines
And the Universe becomes Source
stone harsh light
White Prophecy, Pure
marked with a stone
With a New Name
Made the Sky Man
of a thousand colors in One
Pass the Ring that bewitches
White, Glow and stretches
Carries and invites to travel.”
