Wear time and projection vary with skin, weather, and application.
HER SCENT, IN THREE CHAPTERS
Aldehydes · Neroli · Ylang-ylang
A bright, airy opening evokes morning light filtering through Makiling’s canopy. Neroli and ylang-ylang lend a soft floral glow: our interpretation of the diwata’s luminous presence.
Jasmine · Rose · Lily-of-the-valley
The floral heart expresses Maria’s grace and quiet tenderness. Jasmine, rose, and lily-of-the-valley suggest an enchanted garden, echoing the beauty she asks us to protect.
Sandalwood · Vetiver · Vanilla
Sandalwood and vetiver bring a grounded, wooded depth, recalling roots and ancient timber. Vanilla softens their warmth: a lasting impression of the guardian’s sheltering presence.
The story connections are artistic interpretations of Maria Makiling’s listed scent notes. Botanical imagery evokes the fragrance; it does not imply materials harvested from Mount Makiling.
05 / AN EVERYDAY SIGNATURE
From a quiet morning at home to a busy day in the city, carry Maria Makiling’s story close.
A personal fragrance. A little connection to home.
06 THE TALE BEHIND MARIA MAKILING
MARIA MAKILING’S JUDGMENT / THE ILLUSTRATED CARD
The Makiling chapter
The enchanting diwata of Mount Makiling: serene in her beauty, unwavering in her protection of the forest. A tale of love, mystery, and taking only what nature can spare.
Aldehydes, neroli, and ylang-ylang open the tale. Jasmine, rose, and lily-of-the-valley bloom at its heart; sandalwood, vetiver, and vanilla leave a warm, wooded finish.
“Kunin ang kailangan,
hindi ang lahat ng kaya ninyong kubrahín.”Sa paanan ng Makiling, umaga’y may bulong sa hangin,
Si Maria’y nakatindig sa gitna ng damo’t orkidyas;
Tahimik ang mukha, ngunit matatag ang titig,
Nakatanaw sa bakol na punô ng bungang inagaw sa gubat.
Dalawang mangunguha’y hingal, damit nilang puno ng dahon,
Mga kamay na sanay sa pag-ani, di na sanay sa paggalang;
Sa likod nila’y mga puno, hubad ang ilang sanga,
Parang batang inubusan ng laruan at ngiti.
Itinaas ni Maria ang palad, dahan-dahang kumirot ang hangin,
Umikot ang mga dahon, parang sayaw ng panaghoy;
Umangat sa lupa ang bakol na umaapaw sa bunga,
Parang hinihila ng di nakikitang kamay ng kagubatan.
Ang mga bayabas, mangga, at iba pang bunga ng bundok,
Naglutangan sa ere, lumipad pabalik sa sanga;
Yumuko ang mga puno, parang ina na muling niyayakap ang anak,
At ang bawat sangang yumuko’y nagbabalik ng balanse sa gubat.
Sa paligid, nagsilabasan ang mga ibon sa dahon,
At ang mga usang nagkubli’y muling sumilip sa likod ng puno;
Sa bawat kaskas ng dahon, may paalala ang bundok,
Na ang sobrang pag-ani ay pagnanakaw sa gutom ng bukas.
Napatakip ang mga poacher sa kanilang mga mata,
Hinampas ng alikabok, dahon, at sariling kahihiyan;
“Hindi ito para sa inyo lamang,” wika ng hangin sa paligid,
“Kunin ang kailangan, hindi ang lahat ng kaya ninyong kubrahín.”
Paalala, kababayan: gaya ng kuwento ni Maria Makiling,
Ang bundok at gubat ay hindi palengke na uubusin hanggang huling buto;
Mag-ani nang may hiya, maglakad sa kagubatan nang may paggalang,
Ibalik sa kalikasan ang pasasalamat sa pamamagitan ng pag-alaga,
Pagkat sa kulturang Pilipino,
ang tunay na mayaman
ay ‘yong marunong tumigil bago masaid ang biyaya ng lupa.
