Christine d’Ornano invited her long-time friend, Franco-American artist Sydney Albertini, to once again decorate the bottle of this iconic fragrance. Eau de parfum evening water 100ml “Sydney Albertini is inspired by her series of twenty abstract figures and faces drawn in charcoal on brown paper, the theme of which is ” revealing more by hiding.”
Feminine motifs follow their movement, concealing and revealing the body in all its complexity. The power of lines and color oscillates between abstraction and figuration, giving this work striking energy and emotion. A refined Eau de Parfum, the iconic Sisley fragrance combines the freshness of citrus fruits with the dazzling sensuality of flowers, underlined by an elegant chypre signature.

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.

In the light of a pure sky rising over the city ascends the elegant silhouette of 724. Urban landscapes and their surrounding architecture overtly influenced the graphic aesthetic of this musky floral eau de parfum. Luminous, vibrant and comfortably addictive, 724 invites you to feel the city rhythm. In the top notes, a fresh, urban accord is perceived. It is the sensation of clean, energizing freshness, formed of bergamot from Italy and the verticality of aldehydes with sophisticated, slightly metallic, effervescent facets. At the heart of this fragrance lies an airy aura conveyed by a bouquet of flowers structured by jasmine absolute from Egypt, sweet pea and mock orange. In the base notes, this universe of whiteness surrenders to an enveloping, comforting sensation thanks to a sandalwood and white musk accord.

Echoing life’s most vivid and celebrated experiences shaped by moments of tribulation and strength, Silver Oud is an olfactive depiction of Stendhal’s 19th-century French novel, The Red and the Black, and its intelligent and ambitious protagonist, Julien Sorel. Paying tribute to the House’s signature storytelling tradition, Cécile Zarokian brings Silver Oud to life in a woody ambery Eau de Parfum that showcases the most precious Oud in all its glory.
Inspired by the themes expressed in The Red and the Black, particularly the notions of Confusion, Passion and Destruction, Silver Oud is a manifestation of the tension between idealism and realism, the contradiction between thinking and feeling, and the power of mimetic desire.
Opening with Patchouli Molecular Distillation, Cypriol Oil, and Virginia Cedar Oil, confusion lies in the lack of an expected top note. Instead, a wide variety of woods come to the fore, announcing a deep evolution. At the heart of the creation, an exquisitely rich quality Oud Assam Oil dances in unison with a deep Vanilla (Madagascar) Absolute as a beautiful duo of contrasts. Meanwhile, Ambrarome, Birch Oil, Guaiac Wood Oil, and Castoreum leave dark sillage imprints on the skin, the smoky woods blending together in an endless finale
Inspired by the uncertainty, drama and memories evoked by the unsolved ‘ROSEBUD’ mystery. Rose Incense is distinctively floral and unmistakably woody with unique and contemporary elements.
The art of living is fragmented by the way knowledge and information travel on the internet. Opus V is a floral and woody fragrance inspired by the classical and modern methods of disseminating knowledge.
