A marine poem composed wave after wave…

Entre ciel et Mer (“Between sky and sea”) tells a story of Etesian winds, azure skies and flying over seascapes at top speed…

Icy, soaring and powerful, the first whiff feels as though it had been sculpted out of the Meltem – the north wind that blows over the Aegean Sea, with notes of crumpled, water-splashed leaves and the fruity-aromatic nuances of a lavender, pear and white thyme accord.

The scent’s convincing seawater effect is achieved through a molecular distillation of algae from the Pacific, with iodic and animalic notes of white lichen and ambergris.

The dry, almost mineral facets are balanced out with cedar, moss and sandalwood from New Caledonia.

A strikingly good interpretation of the marine theme.

Over millions of years, persistent rainwater gnaws at porous limestone, carving out karsts deep within the earth. Carried in droplets, sediment grows upon itself, forming misshapen statues. The stalagmites and stalactites reach for one another, patient in the knowledge that one day they will meet. No sunlight breaches these cavern walls, but something has. Somewhere in time, a family of olms, aquatic salamanders, wandered into the limestone cave and never re-emerged. Generations in darkness have stripped the olms of colour and sight. Pale and blind they wait, sometimes for years, for the subterranean river to deliver a meal of larvae or shrimp to their murky abode.

Close your eyes and follow Zoologist Olm into a cavern of sensory delight. Aromachemicals float in mineral water, flowing into a dewy limestone passage that shimmers with algae and amber, stirring up earthy sandalwood and musks. Olm is not seen. Olm is felt. Let this unique fragrance awaken something deep within you.

An Eau de Parfum with floral amber notes, Mulberry Fig, is a warm creamy scent combined with bittersweet, green, and powdery orris notes to an incredible effect.

Created by the in-house perfumery team at 89 Jermyn Street.
Inspired by St James's Park, a quick promenade away from our Jermyn Street shop, one of London’s oldest Royal Parks, surrounded by some of the country’s most famous landmarks and lush greenery.
Creamy sweet and bitter green aromas encompass the shoreline of the blissful lake towered by an abundance of fig trees, immense in scale with elongated deciduous leaves flaunting their architectural foliage, believed to be the largest in Britain.

Mulberry Fig is a scent that evokes a floral amber fragrance combining the soft powdery character of orris with hints of fruit and spice. The perfume opens with a sparkle of fig and cardamom supported from the heart with fragrant green tones of vetiver and cypress. Amyris, cedarwood and sandalwood emphasise the overall woody character that permeates through the perfume.

Warm, spicy and friendly, this extrait summons the good and protects you from the bad. A nutty haze of coconut a-swirl with cardamom, walnut and nutmeg soon deepens with the plush lushness of jasmine and iris. Fig, richly sweet and vegetal, adds contrast, while sandalwood provides cozy, just-out-of-focus grounding that is mellow and milky.

Important notice:

Zanini blends are living botanical compositions, crafted entirely from natural materials and free from synthetic fixatives or stabilizers. As with all things living, subtle variations are part of their nature: over time, you may notice a gentle evolution in colour, texture, or the appearance of natural sediment. These are not imperfections, but part of the character of the raw materials themselves.

These blends are olfactive smellscapes (but neither aromatherapy, nor ‘spray-and-go’ perfumes) and sensory experiences, closer to works of art created in the scented plane (rather than, say, visual or audio).

Certain essential oils and absolutes that are used in Zanini’s 100% natural blends may potentially cause allergies in some people. Please spray Zanini’s blends on fabric (on sleeves, scarves, etc.). 

Zanini advise that those who are prone to allergic reactions, pregnant and nursing women, as well as people with chronic illnesses to be extra careful. Before trying natural blends, study the list of ingredients and consult with a doctor if you are not sure or a had a history of allergies. If you do decide to put these blends on your skin (unable to resist the temptation) always test the blend on the inside part of your elbow first and wait.

Do not spray these blends liberally as a cloud in the way you would spray a conventional perfume. Zanini’s smellscapes need to be… carefully applied and experienced. Be mindful that some oils can also make your skin hyper-sensitive to UV.

  • Key notes:

Hue (the town of the dead kings) is a city as well as a complex expanse of ancient ruins in central Vietnam.

The perfume is a super layered smellscape with scented references to the warm humid winds from the tropical sea, forest rivers teeming with crocodiles and creatures one would rather not meet, lush and shady jungle, ancient stones under scrorching sun and offerings of fruit bathing in mystical incense.

There around 30 natural ingredients in the formula, including very rate ones such as clay attar, seaweed and choya varieties. Choya Nakh for instance is what you get when you distill crushed sea shells.

About Secretions Magnifiques by Etat Libre d'Orange

How does Secretions Magnifiques differ from the fragrances listed here?
Secretions Magnifiques uniquely combines marine freshness with a creamy milk accord and powdery orris root, balanced by opoponax and sandalwood. Many fragrances here share some marine or woody notes but differ in their emphasis on creaminess, sweetness, or smoky and green facets.
What notes should I focus on if I want a fragrance similar to Secretions Magnifiques?
Look for fragrances containing seaweed to capture the marine freshness, alongside orris root for powdery floral nuances and sandalwood for warmth. Inclusion of a milk accord or creamy notes will bring you closer to the original’s softness.
Are these fragrances generally fresh or warm in character?
These fragrances vary: some lean towards fresh and clean with sea salt, mineral, or green notes, while others emphasise warmth through oud, ambergris, or smoky accords. Secretions Magnifiques balances freshness with creamy warmth, which not all here replicate.
