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.

Some of us have known it, others have yet to experience it, but we are all waiting or looking for it. It will come. True love is an eternal beginning again

Osmanthus in this perfume is harvested deep within Guilin province in China. Absolute d’Osmanthe is a modern take on the centuries old essence. The flowers bloom between October and November filling the entire valley with a dreamy fragrance. For the past 2000 years, this fragrant flower with an aroma reminiscent of apricot has been part of perfumers pallette. 

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).

In the muggy shade of a tropical rainforest, an orchid sways seductively. Its glistening petals tremble in anticipation, inviting a passing butterfly to consummate the intimate act of pollination. Succumbing to the allure of the silken flower, the butterfly eagerly flits forward. But as it prepares to alight, the exotic bloom abruptly transforms. Delicate leaves contort into dagger-like forelegs, seizing the bug’s fragile wings. Before the butterfly can comprehend its fate, its head is devoured, crushed between the powerful jaws of the stealthy orchid mantis.

Orchid Mantis lures you into a fragrant illusion. Juicy pear, rich rose and heady jasmine entwine with basil and ylang to suggest the intense scent of orchids. This vintage style is set against the backdrop of a humid rainforest evoked by patchouli, moss, sandalwood and vetiver. An enduring musk serves as a reminder that beauty can also be beastly.

A sensual floral with an exotic tropical touch.

Ylang-ylang, jasmine and leathery osmathus are highlighted with ginger, coconut and rum.

Elegant, decadent and slightly melancholic, very Lana del Ray.

"My old man is a tough man
But he got a soul as sweet as blood red jam
And he shows me, he knows me, every inch of my tar black soul
He doesn't mind I have a flat broke down life
In fact he says he thinks it's what he might like about me, admires me
The way I roll like a rolling stone."

Off to the races. L. Del Ray

Noblemen becoming highwaymen, women becoming men, Englishmen becoming Arabs and prostitutes becoming clergy. Here is a gathering of misfits, the rich, famous and infamous all shrouded in drapery of varying deception as one steps into another world for an evening of flirtation, posturing and risqué conduct.

An elixir to give oneself airs of grandeur and mystique. A complex silky composition, comprised of ambrée and chypre fragrant qualities, A Masquerade is an exquisite companion for social occasions and long evenings, befitting those that seek an alluring presence.

Le Réveil (the awakening) is an olfactory hallucination involving an Alpine mountain goat making a mess in a vat of strawberries and cream. Proving there’s no such thing as too much “too much”, this extrait pumps up the strawberry with waxy white chocolate and wine dregs, while amping ibex realness with oud, goat hair and animal notes. Remember, someone’s yuck can always be your yum.

Stone Cap: 100% Howlite

Perfumer: Amelie Bourgeois

Peaceful and comforting or rich and feral - you can be both. A sinful blend of caramel, leather and oud brings tempting tones. While sweet woods of almond, oakmoss, vanilla and ylang ylang deliver smooth, sensuous power. Sandalwood envelops patchouli for blond, earthy brightness as the smoke and rum dance for more sophisticated depth. 

The Jade line

Perfumer: Nathale Lorson

In this formula velvety woods meet for dark smooth coffee and take their time lounging in the spicy vetiver shade.
