Floral Citrus Ambery
“I like observing flowers bloom, expand and exhale their last breaths. I can say that just like some people are bird watchers. I am a bloom watcher. My love for flowers is infinite, as I’m a botanist and I am Mexican (in my country, we love flowers way too much!) So for this symphonic floral perfume, I blissfully orchestrated my floral parts and pieces thinking of the natural life cycle of a flower: from the closed bud to its eclosion, its magnificent turgescence, its nocturnal exhalations, its languid fading away… and then the petals landing softly on the ground, exhausted but still redolent.
A very specific tuberose extract paired with a new quality of jasmine from Southern China provided the heart for this scent and the palpitations come from fine citrus essences and natural leafy accents. And just at the end, a hint of humanity appears, as an ambery, warm oriental accord works as a pedestal for this multifloral beauty.”
Material is a paradox – through materiality, it evokes immateriality, teaching us to look beyond appearances and to realise that what matters is often unseen; an experience akin to standing in a grove and seeing in the sweltering shade a multitude of textures and manifold hues of wood and leaf and bark; all coming together into one.
Blue and green notes of Spearmint and Cardamom Oils transcend the fragrance stages, giving it a freshness that lasts forever, while the pleasantly surprising Amber, Labdanum, Cinnamon Oil and Saffiano together with earthy Vetiver capture the surrounding hot mountains at that precise moment in time.
INTOXICATING PECHE DE VIGNE AND SICILIAN BLOOD ORANGE OIL RELEASE THE SLICK SWEETNESS OF BITTER PEACH AT ITS LUSCIOUS PEAK. A SENSUAL HEART IS REVEALED THROUGH RUM-INFUSED DAVANA OIL, WHILE A SURGE OF PATCHOULI LURES SENSES TO THE FURTHEST REACHES OF INNER SENSUALITY AND ABANDON.
New York Intense celebrates the vibrant summertime of magical NYC in a high-impact fragrance as irresistible and contagious as the iconic city itself. Spicy, sparkling citrus and a delicate flourish of floral accords cascade into a balsamic and woodsy heart, deepening the sensuality of this indulgent elixir with olibanum, guaiac wood, clove, and immortelle. Mirroring the spirit of a city that never sleeps, this luxuriously radiant perfume offers unquestionable longevity and leaves a lasting, indelible impression

The remote holiday of Tom Ford Soleil traverses from Courchevel to Megeve, inspiring Soleil Neige. The new Private Blend, alive with radiance and light-reflective ethereality, mimics the serene shimmer of sun on snow.
The bright opening of Bergamot and Carrot Seed mirrors the winter light, the cool reflection of the sun transforming everything in sight to a blanket of glacial white.
The floral heart looks to the iridescent sky, blooming with pale petal shades of ivory and rose. The fresh green petals of Jasmine Grandiflorum, addictive Orange flower and the transparent white floralcy of Karmaflor Captive blends white blooms with the rich warmth of Turkish Rose.

A beautifully blended elixir that personifies the complex dimensions of a woman.

Base notes of warm, rich Indian Sandalwood couple with tenacious Labdanum to round out this well-balanced mixture. Garnished with highly desired Benzoin, this unique aroma embodies the true value of its components.
Inspired by the Pavillion de la Guyane (Paris).
Bewitching, exquisite and elegant.

Ambre 84 DL
This is a perfume composed exclusively of natural essences and inspired by the universal principle of Yin.
The lunar strength of Davana and Ylang-Ylang takes root in the balmy depths of Labdanum and Opoponax.
Lunar and luscious, a velvety, amber perfume that is profoundly carnal.
This is the perfume of Yin.
Mix & Match
Like Yin & Yang, 1/.4 and 1/.5 are interdependent, mutually enhancing one another. Each one brings richness in its own right, and while one unveils Nature’s brute strength, the other unfurls a powerful ethereal and creative energy.
All together they form an olfactive synergy, a circulation of a breath which connects natural to synthetic raws in a delicate and full fragrance, subtle and deep at the same time.
Woody
These Sombres Dessins have replaced a ‘g’ with an ‘s’, abandoning Machiavellian and slightly worrying dark designs to instead give free reign to draw on the consummate art of conquest. A dark and shadowy seducer, this perfume plays on emotions and is always three moves ahead on the chessboard of feelings. Hot and urbane, spicy and sensual, he kindles the fire that is under the ice. When finesse is coupled with unfailing instinct, resistance is futile.
