A floral flight of a thousand fragrances from the Pays de Grasse.

A fragrance in which Centifolia rose, jasmine, tuberose, iris, violet, and mimosa bloom sensuously, eternally. A genuine jewel of light, the bottle is a faithful replica of its predecessor, now tenderly tinged with coral. Bel Air, inspired by an idyllic garden, enchants the eye and heart with its petite pastel flask that radiates intensely bucolic beauty.
Gingembre by Molinard £65.00
- Key notes:
- amber
- bergamot
- mandarin
- verbena
- Aromagroups:

The essence of exoticism at your fingertips, a bewitching siren song beckoning you to faraway lands - ginger possesses intoxicating, invigorating richness, now passionately interpreted in a duality of warm, utterly addictive notes.
Gingembre is a subtle alliance of the freshness of bergamot and mandarin and the frenzy of spicy notes of ginger and nutmeg. A musky, amber sillage follows this sweet-scented romance, giving this olfactory embrace sensual warmth.
A raw-material infusion, that is filled with promise!
Iris Ardent by Molinard £110.00
- Key notes:
- amber
- angelica root
- leather
- mandarin
- orris (iris root)
- violet leaf
- Aromagroups:
- edible
- woody
There’s a tantalising friction in the smell of iris root. It’s austere, but tender. It can be powdery, but it also suggests leather. Depending on the context, it can read as feminine or masculine. Iris Ardent resolves this fabled material’s dissonance in a compelling eau de parfum that balances all of iris’ contradictions. The opening spikes of cypress and vetiver provide the scaffolding for cushiony amber and powdery iris. Juniper’s bright twang illuminates the darkness of incense and moss. Intellectual, but accessible.
Klea by Brandt £185.00
- Key notes:
- amber
- jasmine
- magnolia
- mandarin
- white musk
- Aromagroups:
- citrusy
- floral
Klea opens with crisp mandarin and bergamot, while olive leaf adds an aromatic quality. As it warms on the skin, light and dewy floral notes of water lily, magnolia and jasmine reveal themselves. The citrus and florals intermingle with an aquatic sea salt note, reminiscent of warm skin drying in the sun after a dip in the sea. Papyrus and cedar ground the fragrance with a gentle woodiness, while amber, Egyptian musk and tonka bean add a softly regal quality.
Parisian by Ampersand £60.00
- Key notes:
- amber
- jasmine
- mandarin
- rose
- Aromagroups:
- floral
In the understated chic of Parisienne style, it’s details that matter: the perfect red lipstick, a delicate gold necklace, the right perfume. And this is the right perfume — a sparkling floral and patchouli confection that is lush but not overstuffed. Jasmine and rose meets raspberry and vanilla for put-together prettiness.

In Love With the Cocos by Fugazzi £205.00

- amber
- coconut
- lemon
- neroli
- Aromagroups:
- fruity
- woody
This soft tropical skin scent opens with a burst of bright bergamot and lemon zest, setting the stage for a heart of creamy jasmine and coconut water. Floral notes of rose, neroli, orange blossom and geranium unfold beneath, adding a delicate, sunlit richness. As the sun sets, warm amber, sensual musk and airy ambrette create a lingering finish — like sunset on your favourite island.
Inner War by Ourte £115.00
- Key notes:
- amber
- bergamot
- candy floss
- coconut
- labdanum
- rose
- Aromagroups:
- floral
- woody
The never-ending war between what you “should” do and what you want to do. Where being loyal to your dreams and desires clashes with societal expectations. Well, here’s where the conflict ends. Inner War is an amber carnival of too-muchness, a stop at the candy floss stand, a ravenous kiss on the big wheel. This extrait is a billowing cloud of talcum powder and almond, suggesting delicate heliotrope. Curling like tendrils into the air is a phantom, licorice-like anise, adding freshness and subtle weirdness. Rose supplies the syrupy “mmmmm” that glues together ambroxan, vanilla and patchouli.
