Where Time Walks Backwards by GAIA Parfums is a fragrance built around the idea of memory and the subtle ways it can momentarily detach from the present. Rather than referencing a specific era or place, it aims to evoke the quiet, suspended feeling when time seems to slow and recollection takes over. Created by perfumer Ali Raza Khatri under the creative direction of Ovais Saleem, it forms part of the Human Verse Collection, a series centered on themes of human memory, emotion, and everyday experience. The composition combines bright citrus notes of mandarin, lemon, and grapefruit with a fruity touch of pineapple and an aromatic accent of lavender. Lily of the valley introduces a gentle floral nuance, while cypriol and patchouli add earthy and slightly resinous facets. Oakmoss absolute, coumarin, amber, Himalayan cedarwood, and sandalwood provide a deeper base, giving the scent a woody, mossy and softly ambery structure.
