Based on master perfumer Maurice Roucel’s personal cologne, Uncut Gem is an unapologetically manly scent, diamond-hard and absolutely fresh. Clear, spicy top notes of ginger, bergamot, mandarin, angelica root and nutmeg lead you to the sensual fire within: a leathery accord, vetiver, frankincense, generous amounts of amber, and a musk that vibrates with the skin. This is a scent that plays with the tired codes of masculinity while extracting their telluric force to create something beautiful and irresistible.
Maurice Roucel started his career as a chemist at Chanel’s Fragrance Laboratory in 1973. A self-taught perfumer who describes himself as “an explorer wandering amidst formulas”, his style is that of a sensuous aesthete and his signature is generous composition, in which he retains only what is essential.
PARAGON, goes beyond the skin all the way to the soul and leads you to another dimension : plenitude.
PARAGON houses the botanical soul of Palo Santo and white Sage. It draws in the beneficial properties of these sacred plants, whose use has been secretly passed down through initiation ceremonies dating back to the first lines of Inca shamans.
PARAGON is a vibrant and faceted scent. Pairing the soothing influence of Bergamot and Lavender with the force of Pepper, stimulating the mind and opening the heart.

COMME des GARÇONS and KAWS are pleased to present the artist’s first scent, MIRROR. Inspired by KAWS’s multi-faceted practice, MIRROR brings a complex blend of optimistic fragrant notes together in collaboration to create a musky floral scent. The bottle design is a nod to the artist’s iconic COMPANION character who materializes across a variety of medium, from fine art to consumer products, leveling the hierarchies between “high” and “low”.
As the 23rd parallel north unites the sundrenched shores of Cuba and Oman, Opus XIV – Royal Tobacco weaves as one their iconic treasures, Royal Frankincense and Tobacco Absolute, hence bearing the name of Royal Tobacco.
Both fumigated since the earliest days of recorded history, their vertical signature imprints the entire evolution of the perfume, each enriched with supporting notes that reveal and sublime their complex personality.
Aromatic flashes of Cardamom and Elemi light up a voluptuous heart shining with many facets of flowers and balsams casting their reflections upon the Frankincense and Tobacco duo. Emboldened by Benzoin, Labdanum and Myrrh, ambery notes of Vanilla Absolute and Tonka Bean echo the coumarinic depth of Fenugreek while graceful volutes of Prunol, Bulgarian Rose and Osmanthus Absolute evoke the fruitiness and floralcy of high-end cigars. Supported by Anise and Basil, the typically treacly burnt molasses notes of Liquorice act as a link with the choral finale of smoky Birch Tar, Vetiver and Guaiacwood amped up by the glaring animality of Oud.
Opus XIV – Royal Tobacco is a daring, lavish, deep and modern creation fit for men and women alike.
The mojito accord (sweet lime, peppermint, rum) is made explosive thanks to an extra splash of rum. The floral accord recalls freshness and refinement. The green woody accord is reorchestrated for a more powerful trail and sensuality. Patchouli, cedar and vetiver are enhanced.
