CITRUSES WITHIN BURNING WOODS
It is at first a flash of Lemon, insanely vibrant and bright, striking like lightning in the middle of the night. Fluttering notes of Lime, lively and shrill, soon come forth, welded into the metallic zing of Mandarin, its leathery zest and bittersweetness.
Shackled in a cage of dark woods, the Citrus fight with a newfound strength, their light shining brighter as delicate notes of Elemi and a heavenly touch of Hojari Frankincense burst open.
Even as the smoke rises and crashes in waves of burnt Cade, spicy Guaiacwood and incandescent Vetiver, the Citrus bouquet carries its brilliance proud, undefeated, and undimmed.

Uncompromising, bold, filled with enigmatic charm.
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.
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.
MAKE NATURE YOUR PLAYGROUND
Guerlain Homme is an authentic call to adventure. Keen on discovery, man flourishes in a nature that he makes his own.

This eau de parfum surprises with its vibrant freshness lent by the mojito accord, the fresh floral accord and the green woody accord, which come together in an intense composition. This strength ensures its powerful and refined trail. Guerlain Homme boasts a bolder, woodier personality.
Charles Darwin begins “The Origin of Species” in Patagonia, initiating a collection of plants and fossils. We imagined the fragrance of his cabin.
The Pura Esencia line is created following a proprietary artisanal process that does not include filtration. This product could present sedimentation or cloudiness, a normal sign which reflects the quality of the product and the nature of its ingredients.

“NEROLIA VETIVER IS, FIRST AND FOREMOST, AN INFATUATION WITH CALABRIAN NEROLI. IT IS THE LOVE OF ITALY, ITS LANDSCAPES AND ITS ART OF LIVING. IT’S LA DOLCE VITA!”
Fresh jungle on the side of a volcano,
ENCELADE is a powerful and captivating fragrance.
Ambivalence of a perfume of shadow and light which playfully plays with its paradoxes.
The primordial rhubarb, cedar and vetiver accord expresses the scent of earth, of sap, the image of lush nature. Green and woody notes mingled with the crash of smoked and animal leather.
Milky sandalwood and tonka bean add sensuality and addiction to the skin.
The pure seduction of a fragrance with wild magnetism.
The perfumes of Maison MARC-ANTOINE BARROIS are the result of the meeting of two young creators. One is a designer, the other is a perfumer and it was childhood memories that brought them together. Those bewitching perfumes of character; the leather of an elegant briefcase or an impeccable desk pad; and the woody and vegetal scents in reference to memories of warm homes as well as family walks in the forest. The artistic direction of the first and the olfactory talent of the second made the magic of these beautiful fragrances.
Inspired by Kilian Hennessy: “A gentleman is someone who never hurts the feelings of others – without doing so on purpose”, the visionary Oscar Wilde once wrote about this category of men who are not ashamed of be themselves, feel no remorse because they are endowed with perfect confidence. Their personality is their charm asset; they please only those whose refinement they share.
The smoked perfume Dark Lord – “EX TENEBRIS LUX” is part of the Volutes de Fumées KILIAN PARIS family of perfumes. A timeless selection of incense, bakhoor and tobacco leaf fragrances that capture the natural and refined aromas of authentic swirls of smoke.
Great attention is placed in each KILIAN PARIS refillable perfume bottle, to make them real precious objects. The perfumes of the Volutes de Fumées family are decorated with a very recognizable black lacquer and their bottle has been meticulously engraved on each side, with the representation of the shield of Achilles. As Kilian Hennessy points out: “In perfumery, it’s as much about seduction as it is about protection.” A silver metal plate on which the name of the perfume is hand-engraved brings an additional touch of sophistication.
These details brought to the creation of KILIAN PARIS refillable bottles are guarantees of a luxury that should not be ephemeral, but should last a lifetime. This is why the bottle of this fresh fragrance is refillable indefinitely.
“Haltane is a fragrance for a gentleman of today, inspired by the gentilhommes of the Chateau de Marly in the 18th century.”
Julien Sprecher, Founder and Artistic Director of Parfums de Marly.
Haltane is an original scent of both radiance and shadow. Its composition features a blend of rare and noble ingredients which revisit the tradition of 18th century French perfume making.
Its dazzling freshness and herbal top notes quickly yield a warm and smooth sense of leather with a symphony of precious woods. Soft and sweet, escorted by saffron, its praline accord is an ultra-contemporary spin on the mythical oudwood.
Agarwood emerges in this veil of contrasts and imprints the skin with luminous refinement for endur-ing comfort. A privilege that is all about sensation.
