- rose
- Aromagroups:
- floral
- fruity
This is a more transparent, floral expression of Juice | Balanced. It's sheer and intimate, like a halo of fruity floral essence rather than an explosive blast. The silken woods and watery jasmine soften the juicy ripeness of the fruits. Musk adds a cozy airiness that's both comforting and sensual." — perfumer Nathalie Benareau
This is the Personal version of Juice, for those who prefer a subtle, intimately-projecting fragrance that invites closeness. Also try Juice | Balanced & Expressive and Juice | Bold.

Tubereuse Absolue Extrait by Perris Monte Carlo £250.00
- Key notes:
- galbanum
- gardenia
- tuberose
- Aromagroups:
- floral
- vintage/old school
In the aromatic universe, tuberose lounges between the themes of lush creamy white floral, surprisingly bitter hay-like green and sharp spicy.
Perris is fascinated by nature’s fragrant treasures, and make perfume materials THE story of each of their perfumes. So much so, that they experiment with the same perfume material in two different perfume architectures: eau de parfum and extait.
How does this work? Tubereuse Abolue EdP is a sweet luscious bloom. On the extrait version, the darker earthier side of tuberose is encouraged with cedarwood, vetiver, and aggressively green galbanum.
Cacao Azteque by Perris Monte Carlo £160.00
- Key notes:
- black pepper
- cocoa
- tuberose
- Aromagroups:
- edible
- spicy
- woody
Perfumer: Mathieu Nardin
A gourmand perfume with an exotic twist. The core theme is bitter cocoa dusted with pepper. Even though we think of cocoa and chocolate as amlost the same sweet thing, cocoa powder on its own has more of an ambery, bitter woody and deep aroma rather than sweet chocolate vibes.
Perris took cocoa absolute and and styled it the Aztec way - no sugar, just the bitter tonifying glory.

Santal takes its inspiration from a Sandalwood fragrance originally created in the 1800s which has then been given a distinctive contemporary edge.
Terram by D:SOL MMXVI £140.00
- Key notes:
- amber
- benzoin
- coriander
- magnolia
- patchouli
- vetiver
- Aromagroups:
- woody
Terram captures the Mediterranean embrace of autumn. The path winding up from the beach is silent. Sweet aromatic notes of dry soil and clifftop pines float in the air. A haze of ambery benzoin and dusty patchouli settles over musk. Warm, woody, still — this is a fragrant mood that comforts and lulls.
White by Comme Des Garcons £100.00
- Key notes:
- cardamom
- cinnamon
- cloves
- coriander
- lily-of-the-valley
- marigold
- nutmeg
- rose
- Aromagroups:
- spicy
White is a bright and lively fragrance built around the friction between hot spices and suave florals. The cinnamon, clove and cardamom opening suggests candied red hots, which makes it all the more surprising when the melange of rose de Mai and lily of the valley softly asserts itself. The undertone of tagete, with its bitter herbalness, keeps White from getting too “pretty-pretty”.
Ombre Indigo by Olfactive Studio £140.00
- Key notes:
- benzoin
- incense
- leather
- saffron
- tuberose
- vetiver
- Aromagroups:

Ombre Indigo in an incense perfume with many layers. There is the sharp dry opening of petitgrain, soft sweet tuberose next and leathery saffron in the drydown.
