Jean Claude Ellena for Perris
Lavender is emblematic of Provence. It was the Romans who introduced the herb in the region they referred to as ‘Provincia Romana’.
Perris are celebrating lavender in a regal way in their Lavande Romaine/ ‘Romans’ Lavender'. It’s a rich, herbaceous perfume with a juicy green note of blackcurrant.
Perfumer's note on the fragrance concept:
"As a perfumer, I love the strength of these landscapes and the beauty of the lavender fields where flocks of blue butterflies float in the air. To bring this scene to life, I composed Lavande Romaine, a joyful fragrance that dances and sings a summer tune."

- raspberry
- rose
- vanilla
- Aromagroups:
- fruity

Almaz, the Arabic word for diamonds, are renowned not only for their beauty, but also for their timelessness as they withstand millions of years of immense pressure in their formation. This EdP references the indestructible nature of diamonds with a powerful blackcurrant-led bouquet. Juiciness is enhanced with raspberry, while powdery heliotrope and musk add padding to the cushiony feel. The ambered base, redolent with vanilla and brown sugar, offsets blackcurrant’s tartness.
The jewelled bottle incorporates a poem composed by Elen Jeres Ayoub, portrayed in Eastern Kufic calligraphy. The words have been meticulously placed so that the vertical lines create eight zones on the bottle, representing the lunar phases in each lunar calendar month to represent the passage of time.
The seasons and their times
And pressures and their effects,
Bear Diamonds as their fruit.

- Key notes:
- ambroxan
- blackcurrant
- cedrat
- mandarin
- osmanthus
- rose
- Aromagroups:
- citrusy
- green
- spicy
- woody
Delulu is a soft-focus dream sequence in oversaturated colours, swirling across a soundtrack of shoegaze and nineties/noughties indie.This particular sequence follows childhood into adolescence: a favourite toy, a pack of crayons, a melted sweet in your jeans pocket, a bite of berry pie, a long sunny day doing nothing. There’s fizzy cedrat and the salty-fresh friction of tart rhubarb against rooty vetiver. Like all dreams, things get weird: a niff of rosy plastic and smoky incense. Yesterday is a place you can never visit again, but it’s still an escape from tomorrow. That’s Delulu.
Delulu bottle caps are hand made from memories, specifically a nostalgic jumble of plastic beach toys captured in epoxy resin.

Late summer on a wild beach: blackberry bushes in the coastal dune grass, iodine on the lips, fingertips stained purple. The vertigo of standing on an ocean clifftop, the invigorating north wind. The fragrance unfolds: salted rock, caressed by tangy blackberry and swept by sea spray. Pebbles warmed by the sun, a sap of mineral roses. Deep breaths.
Figue by Molinard £65.00

The Les Éléments collection
Steep yourself in the rich, sweet, and gentle ambiance of a summer’s evening, caressed by the dappled Mediterranean light shifting in shadows and sunbeams through the branches. Figue is a private paradise for the senses, transporting you to a garden of a thousand colors.
A sparkling Mediterranean citrus is wrapped in the broad leaves of the fig tree. The green fig accord captures the fruit’s mellow, velvety smoothness before unfurling across a woody, musky base note, echoing the silky sap, the nectar of a milky fig.
When the plump, sensual fruit joins with the fig leaf, the fragrance unfolds with profound intensity.
About Blue Moon by Pacifica
- What makes Blue Moon by Pacifica distinctive in the aromatic aquatic category?
- Blue Moon combines blackcurrant’s fruity tartness with the herbal lavender and a fresh aquatic accord, creating a balanced aromatic aquatic scent. Its marine freshness differentiates it from other fragrances that focus solely on fruity or floral elements.
- How does the aquatic accord in Blue Moon affect its overall scent profile compared to similar perfumes?
- The aquatic accord adds a watery, sea breeze freshness to Blue Moon, giving it a lightness and crispness that is less common in perfumes sharing its blackcurrant and lavender notes. Similar fragrances might emphasise fruit, floral, or smoky aspects but often lack this marine quality.
- Are any of these perfumes suitable for someone who likes Blue Moon but prefers a less fresh or more complex scent?
- Yes, several options incorporate additional notes that add complexity, such as smoky 14 Juillet, resinous 403 Myrrh Shadow, or the chypre and smoky elements in Ensang Noir. These provide a richer or darker take on the blackcurrant theme while diverging from the fresh aquatic feel of Blue Moon.
