Alternatives to BORNTOSTANDOUT Oud Candy

It’s a delectable amber with focus on the gourmand aspect of that ancient perfume recipe. Usually, an amber mix would require a resin (labdanum, benzoin, etc.), patchouli and vanilla. In Beso Canalla this sweet component often represented and highlighted by vanilla was extended to many dimensions. It starts with gently sweet bergamot, descends into caramelized a sugar accord in the heart and dries down into a sweet sandalwood and amber amalgamation.

In the Beso perfume trilogy this formula represents the relaxed afternoon when you have had your early morning swim and are now gathering energies for the night out ahead (chilling in the sweet shade with an ice cold orangeade, feet buried in warm sand).

Inspired by Tawain’s blockbuster beverage: sweet milk tea shaken with tapioca pearls. This eau de parfum suggests the drink's complex flavors: roasted black tea, rich brown sugar, creamy milk and soft, chewy boba. A dusty, honeyed floral note lends sensuality.

French Macaron captures the essence of its namesake French pastry. The opening notes of warm milk and almond offer a comforting sensation, like a freshly baked macaron. The heart reveals a fruity raspberry, balanced by a biscuit note. The caramel and vanilla base is a sweet and smooth sign-off.

Ourte’s signature vanilla, inspired by toasted waffles and caramel popcorn. Coffee with nuts, coconut on top, soaked in the finest rum. With one dirty ingredient – castoreum – that sets your senses on fire. Live crispy, play naughty.

Sticky rice and earthy-sweet red bean paste combine in an aroma profile reminiscent of popcorn. An understated strawberry permeates this comforting gourmand, enriched by vanilla and a touch of brown sugar.

Inspired by the innovative use of materials that allowed 18th century clockmakers to construct the first truly accurate marine chronometers, Lignum Vitae combines elements of wood, metal and salt to produce a truly unique, transportive fragrance. Lignum vitae itself is an incredibly dense wood - the only wood which is guaranteed to sink in water - which is indigenous to the Caribbean and the north coast of South America. The brand’s nautical theme is enhanced wonderfully by caramel, a madeleine cake accord and a cool winter lemon note which provide a truly unique gourmand experience akin to smelling warm shortbread, muffins or cupcakes.

In combining unexpected and exotic raw materials, Beaufort London celebrates the innovative spirit which brought to an end the search for lost time, and permitted the safe passage of ships across the world.

A seductive intriguing incense with a floral touch: the sweet haze of amber and caramel are carrying hints of honeyed jasmine and lily-of-the-valley filled with cooling dew.

Seminalis is our first stimulus in a fragrance bottle.
An aromatic aldehyde which helps sperm to locate the ovum, biological proof of olfactive attraction.
Life initiated by smell.

A bionic fragrance from the future, where nature and technology unites to create something extraordinary. Aqual™, a floral aldehyde that summons rain-soaked lily-of-the-valley, combines with Yuzu in citrusy metallic freshness. Juicy peach intertwines with Hexyl Acetate, an aromachemical with the scent of a green, melting pear. The jasmine heart becomes humanized with a nourishing accord that replicates the scent of milky skin. The result is poetry that lives on the skin.
