Rio ascends to new heights. With added sun-ripened wild fruits, zesty pineapple and sweet mango, this is a pure celebration of vitality. A stunning carnival of a perfume – exhilarating, explosive and dazzling.
Montabaco Rio is forthright, streets ahead when it comes to sheer panache. A quartet of moss, amber, vanilla and suede almost makes for a dangerous liaison but allows Rio to achieve its goal with great finese.

Powerful yet not overpowering, UNUE possesses all the attributes of an afterglow, a floral-woody expression in sandalwood and musks that ensure a sensual presence! Notes of Italian bergamot, Egyptian jasmine and ylang-ylang immediately set the tone and show their colors! Radiant and as graceful as a white flower, the top note conjures a floral-white that seems traversed by a ray of light. At its heart lies a fruity accord. A restrained touch of plum and pineapple blend with a duo of Pink Berries and Anise. To underscore the almost carnal, woody density of its dry-down, the perfumer weaves a backdrop of musks and comforting, silky and milky sandalwood that becomes one with the skin. A trail that makes itself known with finesse and elegance.
In 1270, the famous Frapin family settled in the Charente region of France, but above all, this perfume has become mythical for its sweetness, its honey-like and fruity notes. David Frossard, artistic director of Frapin perfumes, wanted to take another step towards the world of opulence and magnificence. 1270 Extrême plunges us into a world of luxury, roundness and power with its pineapple, vanilla and honey notes, enhanced by precious woods and a superb oriental Tonka Bean, praline and suave to the extreme…
Kilian Hennessy’s Inspiration:
Inspired by the citiy of New York, KILIAN PARIS introduces its new addition to the Liquors olfactive family: Apple Brandy on the Rocks, an olfactive soundtrack to nightlife’s liberation to come. Apple Brandy was first conceived with perfumer Sidonie Lancesseur for the opening of KILIAN PARIS’s New York flagship eight years ago. The fragrance returns, featuring the original apple brandy core but, this time, with an added uplift—KILIAN PARIS’s signature “on the rocks” accord blended into the opening for an ice-cold liquored delight expressing a uniquely KILIAN PARIS character. A blend of bergamot, apple brandy and cardamon, the accord cools down the original, adding excitement and modernity.
The Perfume:
This fresh opening of Apple Brandy on the Rocks unfolds into the perfume’s core personality: a distinctive apple brandy accord, in which a crisp fruity blend harmonizes with brandy—recreated using notes of rum for the liquor aspect, moss and vanilla. Upon a core structure of cedarwood and ambroxan, the scent carries sophistication into the night. It captures the constant reincarnation and incontestable elegance of the ‘Big Apple’—most especially that of its legendary nightlife.
Perfume notes: Bergamot, Apple Brandy and Cardamon
Floral Musky Fruity
“Within our first fragrance collection, we wanted a really universal expression. The words that came to mind were: easy, comfortable, urban, sophisticated, chic, easy to understand…
A generous fragrance built around woods, flowers and a sensual touch. So a luminous chypre structure came to mind. Musky notes were de rigueur here, and so was an elegant touch of rose and amber. But the initial seriousness of the accord disappeared when colorful but subtle fruit accents were added: they were here to stay.
So just like PASSION VICTIM reflects the heady languor of Paris in the 20s, this attractive composition evokes the speed and the sophistication of today’s New York. A human silhouette dashing through the cityscape, a trail of a perfume filled with an urbane, civilized feeling. The ultimate expression of effortless chic.”
Fruity, flirty and floral, Oud Jaune is a sparkling, sunshine-infused fragrance famed for transporting the wearer to faraway shores. Exotic monoi, elegant ylang-ylang and juicy pineapple evoke a tropical aura before submitting to a resplendent heart of white florals, jasmine and orange blossom. A sumptuously deep and decadent drydown lends a sensual and long-lasting milky, vanilla and musky base to this intoxicating, warm floral perfume.
During the Roaring Twenties, French Cancan dancers in the celebrated cabarets of Paris had their own very specific perfume rituals. It is said that they perfumed “every hill and valley” — wherever they wanted to be kissed. Hauto (“skin”) is an invitation to experience the fragrance of “skin”.
Pineapple, musk, tuberose
At a party on Paris’ rive gauche, a woman’s fur coat is lifted from her bare shoulders, exposing her neck to the candlelight. Aware of many eyes upon her, she pauses, smiling to herself, before emerging like a conqueror from the shadows.
A sensuous body of lavender is warmed by patchouli, amber and vanilla, and transformed by notes of pineapple and mandarin.
A sweet freshness of bergamot, elemi and lavender clash vigorously with a balm of styrax and aoud, wanting to indulge themselves in patchouli’s impertinence and sandalwood’s gushing insouciance.
One of the world’s rarest and most expensive spices, cool, fresh Cardamom joins fiery Pink Pepper, Ginger and Bergamot in an explosive blend of top notes that immediately enliven the senses.
Rich oil derived from the heart of the Iris flower – a symbol of strength – produces a smooth and silky centre, around which agile notes of Violet and Cinnamon pique the senses, summoning the rich textures of the bazaar.
Coarser textures of Vetiver and Tree moss are sweetened by the delicate touch of Vanilla, balancing the hotter tones of Cinnamon above to create an earthy base reminiscent of the dewy ground at daybreak.
Rich bouquets combine with fresh citrus notes in this romantic tribute to the serenity of British summertime.
Oil distilled from the juice of a hundred Bergamot Oranges delivers cascades of sunlight to every corner of this complex, sumptuous fragrance. Citrus notes are interspersed with the sugary elixir of Pineapple and Blueberry.
Jubilant florals compose a rich and sensuous middle. Soft, velvety petals from 170 Rose de Mai flowers make up each drop, joining a heady mix of Osmanthus, Jasmine, Purple Violet, Freesia, Orchid and Lily of the Valley.
Woodland base notes evoke England’s pastoral heritage, rousing the inner nymph. Warm, earthy notes of Patchouli and hand-harvested Oak Moss combine with Sandalwood, Cedar Wood and Musk.
She was to become renowned through her androgynous pen name, George Sand. A writer of genius, great lover and committed, she was the incarnation of the first modern woman. For her contemporary heiresses, a perfume reflecting her generosity and sensuality.
An amber flower bouquet, in remembrance of George Sand’s bond uniting her with nature, warmed with heady spices and colored by sweet fruits.
