A collection of opulent and at the same time noble Eau de Parfum creations, which reflect our passion and the know-how of the fragrance house.
Amber Mandarin ~ spicy oriental; developed by perfumer Miro Branimir Senjak. "A luxurious new interpretation of the bittersweet mandarin. The unisex Eau de Parfum AMBER MANDARIN gives a refreshing, new interpretation of the bittersweet citrus fruit. The rather tart green mandarin oil from Calabria, graced by warm amber notes, forms the heart of the fragrance. When combined with the spicy dark nuances of the black cardamom, an unexpected and unique creation emerges, in which the citrus fruit gleams in a new warm glow." Additional notes include orange, pink pepper, iris, osmanthus, patchouli and musk.
Majestic Leather ~ oriental; developed by perfumer Julien Rasquinet. "Spicy, voluminous and infinitely sensual: the unisex Eau de Parfum MAJESTIC LEATHER takes its wearer on a sensual journey to the Orient. In the narrow alleys with their many colourful stands full of fragrance facets, stalls bear precious leather fabrics, elaborately processed by local craftsmen. The fragrance opens with the spicy gourmand facets of precious saffron that blend with the gentle aspect of tobacco, enhanced by the rose essential. A voluminous leather accord brings this fragrance to an intense close." Additional notes include plum, clove, cypriol, vanilla and patchouli.
Midnight Sandal ~ spicy woods; developed by perfumer Mirella Pomina. "Intense, precious and vibrant, the unisex Eau de Parfum MIDNIGHT SANDAL is a tribute to the birthplace of the precious sandalwood: India. The woody and spicy fragrance notes evoke memories of subtropical nights and capture the intense fragrance diversity of the country. Spicy ginger picks up on the sparkling vibes of the night. As addictive as the night, beguiling jasmine blooms in the heart note. Finally, around midnight, the creamy and woody aroma of sandalwood comes to the fore." Additional notes include bergamot, coriander, cardamom, heliotrope, amber and vetiver.
Noble Rose ~ green floral; developed by perfumer Alexandra Monet."The unisex Eau de Parfum NOBLE ROSE honours the Queen of Flowers with a profound and richly contrasting composition that delves into the magical world of Asia Minor with all its precious treasures. The Damascene Rose from Bulgaria blooms in its heart, both as an essence and as an absolue, allowing all the facets of this flower to be expressed. Delicate woods refine the velvety petals. Sweet notes of the Turkish lokum ultimately add a touch of Far Eastern gourmandise to the fragrance. This produces a sensuality-laden, intense creation, which underscores the majestic signature of the magnificent rose." Additional notes include bergamot, blackcurrant, guaiac wood, cedar and musk.
Orchid Vanilla ~ floral gourmand; developed by perfumer Mark Buxton."The unisex Eau de Parfum ORCHID VANILLA serenades the queen of gourmand blooms, the orchid, whose creamy yellow blossoms protect the precious treasure of the vanilla plant. Fresh morning dew accord of lush green leaves provides an invigorating prelude that is reminiscent of the dewy air of Madagascan tropical forests. At the centre is a breathtaking infusion derived from the delicate orchid's beguiling blossoms, forming the opulent, sophisticated heart note. The composition is perfectly balanced in its base by the noble Bourbon vanilla pods." Additional notes include freesia, peach, pink centifolia, jasmine, amber and musk.
Smoky Tonka ~ oriental gourmand; developed by perfumer Daniela Marty. "The unisex Eau de Parfum SMOKY TONKA whisks us away to a classy chalet in the French Alps in which we relax in front of a crackling fire as we dive into the world of desserts. The cognac notes matured in oak barrels blend superbly with the sweet-smoky aroma of exquisite tonka beans, bestowing an irresistible grace on the fragrance. The luxurious fragrance is crowned in its base by the delectable praline accord, which completes the fragrance like dessert to a sumptuous menu." Additional notes include bergamot, cinnamon, vanilla and sandalwood.
Vibrant Musk ~ woody; developed by perfumer Alexandra Monet. "Unique and unforgettably compelling, the unisex Eau de Parfum VIBRANT MUSK dives into the world of molecular perfumery and sets the stage for a new classic in the art. The spicy notes of black pepper introduce the clean fragrance with gentle pungency. The Iso E Super molecule that unfurls in the heart reacts with each individual's skin. Gently ambered wood molecules Ambrox® Super and Norlimbanol® enhance the second-skin effect. Thus, a timeless, magnetic fragrance emerges, that creates an enveloping aura, underscoring the personal fragrance signature." Additional notes include cashmere wood and cedar.
