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.
At the cutting edge of creativity, Verano is a seductive and profound scent of leather, wood and tobacco leaf with a good measure of grapefruit and a dash of cashmeran for added bravado and sensual creamy dry down. Presented in a stunning azure bottle, Verano takes centre stage as it captures the essence of Latin America.

“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.

The over 30 carat brilliant cut Blue Heart is the largest heart shaped diamond in the world.
This Extrait de Parfum is inspired by the joie de vivre lifestyle of the various socialite owners of the Blue Heart Diamond. To re-imagine the vibrancy and exoticism of their glamorous lives, we use vanilla as the core of the composition interplaying with saffron and white coconut.
THE STORY: The 8th fragrance in Thameen’s unique ‘Treasure’ Collection, ‘Green Peal’ is inspired by the ‘Yemengzhu’, the legendary luminous Chinese ‘pearls’ of green fluorite. This naturally phosphorescent mineral which literally glows in the dark is found only in China and is the most valuable in the world, highly prized by the Chinese as just touching it is said to bring health, great prosperity and good luck! As hard and rarer than the finest grade diamonds, the largest green pearl is 1.6 meters in diameter and valued at 3.1 billion dollars!
THE FRAGRANCE: ‘Green Pearl’ opens with a biting green note of apple set aglow by bright citrus accords of mandarin, neroli and bergamot. At the heart, green leaves, soft and rain-soaked part to reveal green tea and the bitter-vert of Artemisia, further animated by a dusting of pepper. At the base, lustrous tonka sits atop oak moss and the ambery gleam of musk. ‘Green Pearl’ is vivid olfactory gem infused with verdant incandescence. It is eminently wearable and will cut effortlessly through heat and humidity with an energising, cleansing radiance.
THE STORY: Considered by many to be the most famous diamond in the world, The Hope is also one of the world’s largest diamonds. Described as the size of a pigeon’s egg, it is a distinctive grey blue in hue, and also emanates a rare red phosphorescent glow. The gem has been worn by sultans, queens, aristocracy and socialites; most notably Queen Marie Antoinette who wore it as a hairpin, and its last private owner, the flamboyant heiress Evalyn Walsh Maclean. It was the inspiration for the ‘Heart of The Ocean’ in the film Titanic and provides the inspiration for the iridescent fragrance.
THE FRAGRANCE: Opening with the warm radiance of cinnamon bark, myrrh and cloves conjure the diamond’s legendary fiery red glow. A woody shimmer of cedar and oud wood is at the heart, layered with the multi-faceted, honeyed brilliance of the immortelle flower. A base of black amber, labdanum resin (from the Mediterranean rock rose), musk and vetiver, exude pure glamour and sophistication. Decadent.
The beautiful, 60 carat pink diamond Noorolain Tiara has inspired this elegant rose fragrance.
Its signature note, the Taif Rose is especially prized in perfumery for its rarity. The rose itself has 30 petals and only grows around
the city of Taif. It takes around 40,000 flowers to produce one 10g bottle of this rose oil, since only the petals are used.
THE STORY: Famed as the Eighth Wonder of the World, The Amber Room was presented to Peter the Great by the King of Prussia. Glowing at the heart of Catherine Palace near St Petersburg, the chamber was lined entirely with amber panels backed with gold leaf and mirrors. When lit with more than five hundred candles it was reputed to glow like trapped sunshine and fiery gold. Created by melting together amber, Cognac and honey, its history and brilliance has inspired the creation of this fragrance.
THE FRAGRANCE: Smoky, warm and glowing, the heady amber, as seductive as its inspiration, is lit with Italian bergamot, sensual Turkish rose and warmed through with spices, cinnamon and cedar wood. Glowing.
THE STORY: Regent Leather is a luxury fragrance from Thameen in association with The Rolls Royce Enthusiasts Club. Traditionally, Thameen selects a rare gemstone as the inspiration for each of its fragrances and it is only fitting that, for this project, they have chosen what is considered to be the finest diamond in the world – The Regent Diamond.
Over 300 years old, the Regent Diamond is 141 carats, cushion-cut and its colour is ‘of the first water’ that is, perfectly white and virtually flawless. The fragrance exudes luxury and privilege, opening with the daring juxtaposition of smooth vanilla and sharp lemon. At the heart, the perfumer has cleverly conjured a remarkable leather scent reminiscent of the interior of the Rolls Royce, a cocoon of craftsmanship that envelopes the wearer. The tone speaks of power and strong will, supported by spices and resins including a fine saffron and deep resinous labdanum. The base is glossy, a perfumed patina of elegant and timeless gurjum, cedar and patchouli.
THE FRAGRANCE: Regent Leather is hypnotic and has, in the manner of Rolls Royce, been ‘engineered’ – enabling the finest ingredients to revolve throughout the dry-down, thus the journey is both surprising and familiar by degree.
