To achieve perfect harmony, time is everything – rejoice in this elevation of the beloved aroma.
An iteration of Amouage’s iconic scent, Interlude 53 Man is a reflection on the power of time – six months of slow transformation at the label’s Muscat factory brings its exquisite character, and 53% perfume oil concentration to life. This intense rendition sees signature notes including zesty bergamot, oregano and pimento berry oil unfold like never before, while new additions reveal a deeper aroma that will accompany you through the years.
What makes INTERLUDE 53 MAN an “Exceptional Extrait”?
A fragrance is usually a mix of a concentrate (containing fragrant oils) and an alcoholic base. Some fragrances can also contain a bit of water and additives like liquid UV filters, stabilizers or colourants. Therefore, fragrances with a higher fragrance concentration contain more perfume oils and less alcohol, and vice-versa.
Usually, a higher perfume oil concentration means an increased performance of the fragrance (particularly longer lasting scent) – but the impact of oil concentration is much more complex and varies depending on each formula.
Eau de Cologne (EDC) 3% – 10% oils
Eau de Toilette (EDT) 5% – 15% oils
Eau de Parfum (EDP) 15% – 20% oils
Parfum / Extrait 20% – 30% oils
Amouage Interlude 53 Man – 53% exceptional oils
The sensuality of the much-appreciated vanilla, given an oriental twist with amber and wood (sandal, natural oud, guaiac), combines with floral heart notes. Jasmine, lavender, bitter almond and geranium.
Then, freedom comes calling. A fine balance of bergamot, pink pepper, cardamom and heliotrope. An abundance of elegance.
Unfettered masculinity
This fragrance continues the tradition of Parfums de Marly founded by Julien Sprecher in 2009 to restore the golden age of perfume: the XVIII century and its splendour, the extreme elegance of the Cour des Senteurs, the French temerity.
Not quite the same, not quite different
Eight years ago, Pegasus marked a chapter in Parfums de Marly’s history with its woody and exceptionally distinguished signature.
Pegasus Exclusif retains two of its most characteristic and addictive ingredients: bitter almond and vanilla.Pegasus Exclusif is worn like a new dress code.
Its distinguishing marks are serene virility and exhilarating power.
As many forms of masculinity as there are men
A scent full of character, Pegasus Exclusif gains momentum on the skin.
The exclusive nature of each ingredient affords the formulation an intense alchemy on the skin as well as exceptional strength and resilience.
Each wearer can find their temperament within it. Its rush. Its force.
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.
Find your inner calm. Hypnotic cedarwood, musk and Indian sandalwood. A soothing and relaxed perfume. Take a deep breath of Xi’an, eyes closed, and allow your mind to focus on your senses. Let the fragrance slowly seep into your soul, bringing serenity and peace.

Kilian Hennessy’s inspiration: Introducing a brand new collection, Kilian Hennessy felt it was time to pay tribute to his heritage, as heir to the renowned French cognac making family, and to his choice olfactory intoxicants for driving the night towards dawn. As a first-time collaboration with perfumer Franck Voelkl, Kilian Hennessy wanted to recreate the tasting of “gin on the rocks” with a splash of lime—recalling his wife’s favorite drink.
The Perfume: Anyone for notes of gin, distilled with rose and cucumber? The perfume Roses on Ice opens with the aquatic freshness of cucumber and the aromatic uplift of juniper berries, creating an icy sensation, rounded in an accord with voluptuous Rose Centifolia. Upon a drydown of sandalwood and musk, the scent expresses the sharp—yet deeply infused—character of gin consumed in its ideal.
Perfume notes: Cucumber, Rose Juniper and Sandalwood
Perfumer: Frank Voelkl
DETAILS
The bottle of the perfumes of THE LIQUORS collection is styled as a speakeasy essential, like art deco glasses to recall the most fabulous bars.

These details bring a guarantee of luxury that should not be ephemeral, but should last a lifetime. As such this perfume is refillable.
AQUATIC CITRUS PERFUME
This refreshing Citrus Aquatic captures the signature spring flower Apple Blossom and exotic Marine Bergamot in its top for a sparkling first impression. A fruity floral character is revealed in the heart offset against modern notes of sharp green rhubarb and a fresh mojito fusion, before settling into a base of creamy sandalwood and aquatically aromatic driftwood. A fresh, energising citrusy yet soft perfume exploring 151 ingredients and a potent concentration of 25% for a lasting scent that trails on the skin like blossoming branches in the spring sunshine.
Bursting with light and heat, Aqua Vitae forte embodies the power of life. This eau de parfum forges the invisible bond between the freshness of the nights to come and the heat of days gone by.
Its top notes radiate a sensation of freshness while a bright, floral and woody breeze floats indulgently throughout this scented dream.

IF BY R.K.
It was by crossing India from north to south during a charity race that David Frossard, artistic director of the the House Frapin, found the inspiration for this new fragrance. IF, pays tribute to India with its precious wood, sandalwood from Mysore and the native poet of Bombay, Rudyard Kipling and his famous poem “If”.
I was lucky enough to travel from the north to the south of India during a charity race this year and on passing through Mysore, the verses of “If” came to me. It was my grandfather, a great traveller if ever there was one, who introduced me to this poem when I was a child. This lesson that needs to be repeated every day in order to become what we are”: David Frossard, artistic director of Parfums Frapin.

Crafted as an overpainting, Interlude Black Iris uses a refined palette to smoothen the facets of the original creation. A complex interplay of dark stoic serenity and buried vibrant power bursting upwards, into the light..

Embrace your perfume in the mythical Bee Bottle.
Designed in 1853 by Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain for the Empress Eugénie, wife of Napoléon III, this precious bottle is adorned with the symbol of the Empire: the bee, which is now La Maison Guerlain’s emblem.
Carla Lavender, an exceptional variety grown in Provence, shakes up the sensual and enveloping Vanilla Tahitensis by infusing it with its audacity and freshness. Sambac Jasmine, gathered at sunrise, gives this composition all of its finesse. Album Sandalwood expresses strength and preserves the mystery of eternal femininity.
DESCRIPTION
Mon Guerlain, the House’s new fragrance, is a tribute to today’s femininity –
a strong, free and sensual femininity, inspired by Angelina Jolie.
My invisible tattoo, my fragrance, Mon Guerlain.
The fresh oriental fragrance enhances exceptional raw materials: Carla Lavender from Provence, Sambac Jasmine from India, Album Sandalwood from Australia and Vanilla Tahitensis from Papua New Guinea. It expresses the quintessence of a history replete with experiences, nourished by success, expertise and generosity, all infused with the same passion since 1828.
The “quadrilobe” bottle, created in 1908, established itself as one of Guerlain’s iconic bottles. Simple and graphic, it echoes an alchemist’s bottle and owes its name “quadrilobe” to its stopper, which is formed from one piece to obtain a shape resembling four lobes. One century later, beautifully enhanced by a luxurious glass weight and a golden adornment, this bottle offers a contrast between strong taut lines and sensual curves, expressing contemporary femininity.

The perfume Voulez-vous coucher avec Moi is part of the KILIAN Narcotics family. From rose to tuberose, from orange blossom to gardenia… Kilian flowers are composed like a narcotic dependence.
A lot of attention is taken in each bottle of KILIAN refillable perfume, to make them real precious objects. The perfume bottles of the narcotics family are adorned with a distinctive white lacquer and their bottle has been meticulously engraved on each side, with the representation of the Achilles shield.
