Mix & Match
Like Yin & Yang, 1/.4 and 1/.5 are interdependent, mutually enhancing one another. Each one brings richness in its own right, and while one unveils Nature’s brute strength, the other unfurls a powerful ethereal and creative energy.
All together they form an olfactive synergy, a circulation of a breath which connects natural to synthetic raws in a delicate and full fragrance, subtle and deep at the same time.
Nestled at the heart of Indonesia and considered unaffordable in today’s perfumery, Natural AGAR WOOD is a veritable treasure in the world of art perfumery. AFFINESSENCE has chosen to combine this with a magnificent Essence of PATCHOULI, enabling new facets of its famed scent to burst forth.
Enhanced by a dazzling myriad of Natural Ingredients (Vetiver from Java, Cistus and Labdanum, Elemi and Incense, Gaiac Wood and Tree Moss), this duo explodes on the senses, while the revisited Patchouli develops a luxurious trailing scent.

A first in perfumery and originating from Kerala, TURMERIC has been used for the first time in a perfume by AFFINESSENCE. A milky note enhances the precious turmeric root, causing an explosion of the delicious spicy aromas of « Turmeric Latte », a beverage that has been drunk for thousands of years in India and also known as Golden Milk. While Myrrh, Sandalwood and Patchouli offer their distinctive scents, a wonderful note of full-grain LEATHER takes over the composition, imposing its powerful animal character. Delicious luxury and sultry sensuality compete with one another in this addictive bouquet with its bold scent.

Known for its distinctive scent, AMBERGRIS is even more precious when « aged » as its qualities are enhanced after floating for years under the sun of the Pacific Ocean. AFFINESSENCE has chosen the exceptional quality of this scent, using it generoulsy enough to express its powers of irresistible attraction. While AMBERGRIS diffuses an animal warmth and a mineral freshness, a burst of Black Musk and White Truffle accentuate the « hot and cold » effect, creating a tingling sensation. Yerba Mate, Patchouli and Vetiver from Haiti highlight the exuberant scent of this striking that you’ll want to breathe in until overdose.

AFFINESSENCE has selected three Natural Essences of CEDAR (Moroccan Atlas, Texas and Virginia) and blended them with precision to enhance the vibrancy of the most precious and refined Natural ingredient: Pallida IRIS or Florentine Iris Absolute.
A drop of Benzoin and a dash of Myrrh mellow and soften this woody-powdery base with their tender caress, while Gaiac Wood, bolstered by Incense, turns its natural restlessness into an almost electric energy. This is a fragrance that will stir the senses to their very depths with its breathtaking fusion of sophisticated, intensely lingering scent and Musky sensitivity.

Of the diverse qualities of SANDALWOOD, Mysore Essence remains both the most wonderful and the rarest. AFFINESSENCE has combined its infinitely sensual, carnal, milky notes with BASMATI, one of the most fragrant varieties of rice in the world.
Bold and exquisite, this close-knit duo is entwined in a lacy layer of Patchouli, Iris and Cashmeran, forming a bewitching perfume that leaves an addictive, classy trail

To showcase this exceptional marriage, AFFINESSENCE has combined two types of VANILLA (Tahitian Vanilla Absolute, intensely fragranced with leather overtones and the sweet scent of Madagascan Vanilla Absolute) and blended them with an exquisite alter ego: Siamese BENZOIN, a fragrant Resin originating in Laos, highly valued for its balsamic and almond notes.
As Ambroxan, enfolded in Tonka Bean and Moroccan and Chinese Cedar, exudes its carnal notes, the Benzoin transcends the Vanilla with its intoxicating scent as if to better diffuse its spellbinding trail.

7753 stands for the dimensions of Mona Lisa painting for this perfume is not the perfume of an image, nor the mere perfume of a woman past – is the perfume of the woman. It is the scent of an emotion, of this undecipherable glance, of her unexplainable beauty, of her immersive power and her drawing us in. It is the perfume of our own enthrallment. A hidden number for a hidden smile.
A glimmering glance of bright Citruses, the elusive Mona one descries through a sfumato of Vetiver and Galbanum. Voluptuous Tuberose and Heliotrope virtuous.
'Tis a smile alluring with an air of Spices.
Initio – Carnal Blend – Atomic Rose
Create an explosion!
A rose diffracted into a scent of phenomenal power. An olfactory explosion with an intense emotional charge. An exhilaration of pure energy, climaxing into intoxication. An extraordinary fragrance in the true sense of the word.
From the first moment, rose rushes to the head and brings colour to the cheeks. As explosive as it is elusive, it expresses itself forcefully and fully embraces its ambiguities. Bright, with its shadows. Feminine and masculine. Soft, but ruthless. Like an adrenalin rush, Atomic Rose shows its extravagance to exalt its wearer.
An explosive equation
A Rose with the potency of Hedione HC. Driven by the iconic ingredient of the Carnal Blends collection, the queen of flowers enters another dimension. Heightened and magnified, it enacts its own revolution in an absolute and uncompromising fragrance.
Carnal Blends, intoxicating essences
Can perfume increase our power of attraction? For a long time, we have only been able to trust in our intuition to confirm this. Science did not recognise that scents have the capacity to trigger the production of sex hormones. Then a team of researchers from Bochum University in Germany proved that some odorous molecules can activate regions of the brain connected to libido. This singular link between scents, pleasure and sexuality is at the core of the Carnal Blends collection. This collection is firmly transgressive and plays on bold combinations to highlight its carnal notes with one aim in mind: to trigger emotions and heighten sexual attraction.
What is its secret ingredient?
Hedione HC; a molecule which is of floral origin, a compound found in the heart notes of jasmine and magnolia, that provides radiant and airy power to a fragrance. Hedione HC also activates a region of the brain related to pleasure and increased libido. Initio has made it the signature of Carnal Blends. This sensually open collection boasts fragrances that are much more than perfume. Sensual potions with immediate appeal that speak to our most unconscious and primal depths. An ode to our animality…
