“Pomona Vitalis opens with fruity facets of lychee, strawberry
and apple balanced with a sparkle of bergamot. The lychee
complements the rose heart, enhancing the sense of dewy,
fresh, petals.
The heart revolves around a multi-faceted rose with both
Bulgarian rose oil with radiant metallic, green geranium shades
and fruity wine top notes, and the Rose Absolute brings a
distinctive rich and voluptuous sweetness with spicy green
honey and tobacco undertones. With a whisper of lavender.
The base is warm and enveloping with balmy vanilla and
benzoin facets, creamy shares of sandalwood and styrax which
enriches the resinous character and depth adding a leathery
tone “
Christian Provenzano
INSPIRATION
Our muse was Pomona, a captivating beauty
and the goddess of gardens, fruit and orchards. She
spent her days tending to the blossoms and fruit in the
orchard, pruning the roses in the gardens and tending
to nature. She represented abundance, plenty and
rosy fresh faced beauty to the Ancient Romans.
VICI LEATHER is the latest perfume release from luxury niche fragrance house Electimuss London. Inspired by the victory cry of Julius Caesar, Vici Leather is the scent of success exuding luxury and an easy confidence.
At the heart of this fragrance are two powerful notes of seduction, one feminine, one masculine, combined perfectly to create a very unisex scent that is elegant and charismatic. A robust tuberose is entwined with an addictive sweet leather to create a heart of masculine and feminine sensuality.
Vici Leather is made even more intoxicating by the wormwood which has the woozy quality of Absinthe and an ambery base that is both powerful and relaxed. It is a confident fragrance with effortless elegance exuding success and sensuality.
PERFUMER’S NOTES
“VICI LEATHER is the ultimate smell of seduction. It starts off with a wormwood, evoking the wooziness of the Absinth. But rapidly it combines two of the most sensual ingredients of perfumers’ palette. One expressing a more masculine attribute showing a manly but gentle charisma: sweet leather. The other one is more known for being a feminine attribute of seduction: Tuberose. As a fun fact, young women during the Renaissance were forbidden from the Tuberose fields, as it was said the captivating smell of tuberose might make it impossible for them to control their desire. Those two powerful ingredients combine perfectly in a very unisex, powerful, elegant, laid back charisma, ambery base.“ Julien Rasquinet
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.
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.
OMBRÉ LEATHER PARFUM INTENSIFIES THE ORIGINAL SCENT, FUSING HEATED LEATHER FLORALS WITH WOODS–CAPTURING THE UNBRIDLED SENSUALITY OF THE AMERICAN WEST.

COMME des GARÇONS and KAWS are pleased to present the artist’s first scent, MIRROR. Inspired by KAWS’s multi-faceted practice, MIRROR brings a complex blend of optimistic fragrant notes together in collaboration to create a musky floral scent. The bottle design is a nod to the artist’s iconic COMPANION character who materializes across a variety of medium, from fine art to consumer products, leveling the hierarchies between “high” and “low”.
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

Fiery red metal, cool to the touch. Luminous berries atop darkened leaves. COPPER is an olfactive interrogation of perceived differences and their harmonious alignment.
A blend of distinct olfactive components: vivid pinks positioned against deep greens. Bright contrasts reveal new clarity. Ingredients found across the globe find unity in a single scent.
Fresh galbanum harvested atop the Iranian mountains; luminous peppercorns picked in Peru; rhizomes of spicy Madagascan ginger distilled into oil.
Like rust corroding a golden sheen, with time COPPER evolves on the skin.
Encased within a copper vessel, organically formed and industrially made, COPPER transforms contradictions into compatibility. The subversive spirit of Comme des Garçons explored through scent.
ZERO is a radical expression of simplicity. A reset. The origin of a new perspective: the antithesis of excess.
An exploration of freedom found within purposeful parameters. Carbon neutrality embraced as a formative concept; the foundational motif of a fragrance. Every element shaped by reduction. The clarity of restraint
Fewer ingredients: a shorter formula, meticulously assembled. At once in line with the Comme des Garçons fragrance philosophy and the preservation of resources.
Rich, natural cedarwood – hand-harvested and extracted using hydroelectric power – enlivened by a fresh breeze of Bergamot. The raw seduction of musk and equitably-sourced Haitian vetiver patchworked against illusory beauty: an overdose of synthetic rose, a varnish accord.
A subversive harmony of dichotomies. An untraceable wood.
In accompaniment to its emblematic fragrance, Parfums de Marly has created a Delina body oil. This light, non-greasy formula sublimates the skin, adorning it with notes of rose, peony, lychee and grapefruit on a subtle base of vanilla and musk. Depending on skin tone and season, it stirs the original notes and further modulates their seductive power. A sensual, multi-faceted delight.
Inspired by 18th century perfumery and the Pavillon des Bains, a pavilion for wellbeing at the heart of the Château de Marly, Delina body oil is a sensual complement to modern beauty rituals. For application on the skin before perfuming with the Eau de Parfum or on its own, especially in summer, for a subtle scent.
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.
