Vents & Marrées whafts a gentle veil of fresh sweetness; ethereal and sunny. In this perfume Molinard conjures a romantic rendezvous on the beach. A couple lulled by the gentle melody of the waves; with rose and marine accord. A delicate harmony of sea spray with the elegance of white flowers and a sweet moment remembered by the gourmand presence of vanilla.

A confident potion and a tribute to those who are not only prepared to take a gamble, but relish it, laughing in the face of adversity. For here is an ode to modern day British entrepreneurial optimism, life is moving fast, fortunes are being made and lost, but let’s face it, the journey is where the thrill is at its most potent.

Brash and loud is not Audacity’s style; it is far more refined. This unisex fragrance oozes a level of confident subtle sophistication, with it’s aromatic, citrus qualities ascending from an oriental woody base. Audacity is quietly noticeable, daring and bold, but sees no need to shout about it’s merits; people take notice anyway.

Step out into the world clean-with-a-sheen thanks to the dewy freshness of this smile-bringer. The initial grapefruit/mandarin kick opens up into creamy magnolia and tart apple, underscored with woody vetiver and cedar.

Madagasgar’s threatened forests are home to some of the most intoxicating plants in the world. Including vanilla. Which smells loads better than a lemur.

But we’re not talking about ice cream or a shot of vanilla goo in a skinny latte. No, this is naked vanilla packed with luxurious orchid warmth. Blended with the best Madagascar has to offer including ylang oil, vetiver,violet, musk, jasmine and cloves.

Think of this it as an ecosystem in a bottle; a hug from mother earth. You get the picture.

HAF translates to summer and is pronounced "haarv".

A niche perfume with an intense burst of citrus gradually unfurls to reveal vibrant florals conjuring up the heady sunshine of a summer’s day.

An essence whose floral and enveloping notes are rooted in myth, which plays with hypnotizing the senses like the young and beautiful Adonis against Aphrodite. Releasing the freshness of the flowers of wisteria, jasmine, geranium, damask rose, and white lily, this essence interprets and expresses the beautiful and damned Adonis, like a flower of short life that: “badly fixed to the ground and too fragile lightness owes its name to the wind and the wind just scatters its petals ”.

Beso Dorado is inspired by the 10 years of magic and splendor of Beso Beach. It is an addictive perfume with intense and fresh aromas. Capture the authentic Mediterranean spirit of summer evenings with the sunsets and endless nights. Pink pepper and juniper give a lively and spicy opening, cinnamon and patchouli make Beso Dorado a warm and seductive fragrance, with vibrant and refreshing notes of vetiver. A woody personality with a touch of mystery.

Dominique Ropion: “ I wanted to mix deep, nocturnal, distinguished ingredients with an aromatic freshness. I wanted to create the perfume of a summer afternoon, a Mediterranean and sensual fragrance ”.

This fragrance captures the essence of a Chinese summer — the tingling mint and cool eucalyptus of dusky mountain air, the aromatics of shiso, lavender and chamomile as the darkness deepens, the grounding woods and greens of cypress, vetiver and galbanum. A dream of summer rewritten — nostalgic and gently magical.

A smell-good-like-you-feel-good perfume, reminiscent of carefree hangouts with friends powered by “herbal inhalants”. Mainstream is a beautifully modulated cannabis fragrance, its grapefruit and lime kick-off nicely balanced by the long guaiac wood, patchouli and vetiver fadeout. 

The audacity of Dutch herbs (aka cannabis), along with notes of hand-squeezed grapefruit, Calabrian bergamot, and mandarin. Matching sass with class are mimosa and pink pepper. Big, confident and up for fun.
