The rose in Italian is “la rosa”. Reverse the perspective, come at it from a different angle, go right to left, and you get “Asoral”. This extrait burrows into the very essence of a young, dewy-petalled rose, taking you on a journey from the outside world to the inner you. This is achieved with a union of Turkish rose and Rosa Lani, a complex rose with vibrations of liquorice, tea and hay. Creamy magnolia, rosy-esque peony and soft musks add even more plushness, elevating Asoral to a radiant smile-bringer.

This “divine flower” is a luminous, untamed floral that captures the serenity of nature in motion. It starts bright and light: lemongrass and passion fruit, opening up to peony and lily of the valley. Watery, ethereal cyclamen drenches the richness of jasmine, ylang-ylang and narcissus like dew over a meadow. The drydown is green, a mingling of eucalyptus and sage with peppermint, juniper and pine, grounded by 
Mysore sandalwood and a hint of vanilla bourbon.

A passionate declaration of love written in ink and blood. The scent opens on a dark, almost smoky red rose, pierced with crimson sparks. Metallic aldehydes emerge, adding tension and intensity. Dense magnolia adds a sweaty sweetness. The opoponax warms and deepens the whole, leaving a profound, mysterious signature.

Master Perfumer: Alberto Morillas chose a subtle and literal interpretation of this iconic pop standard, while hinting at the irreverent touch Madonna instilled into the song.

In amongst the botanical collections and wonders of a Victorian glasshouse often found is the Orchid; one of many botanical rarities that for decades was the jewel and marvel of many an Edwardian and Victorian botanical explorer.

Ophrys is a summery botanical potion of great standing, with green aromatic and floral undertones that capture daring romantic notions of an era gone by, a love for exploration, discovery and the classical splendour of the English garden in bloom one balmy late summer afternoon. Here we present to you an ode to the great Plant Hunters of yesteryear.

Sensual and voluptuous, Rose has a mysterious simplicity. The Eau de Parfum embodies contemporary feminity with graceful notes ans playfully unveils its fruity chords. An invitation to a walk along the Riviera as a return to the Dolce Vita.

A very interesting addition to the sea of marine fragrances. An aquatic smooth leather, a rather novel combination but beautifully executed. 802 is a smooth sleek osmanthus, musky peony and velvety ambrette mix, reminiscent of suede or really fine leather gloves aroma.

Perfumer for 802: Nathalie Koobus.

A game that begins without warning. The urge to break the rules. A gaze that holds. Azureblush bursts with the tangy brightness of rhubarb with the juicy sweetness of lychee. Peony then softens and rounds the composition with a sunny floral facet, giving the fragrance its luminous and addictive dimension.

Inspired by the dream of an upside-down world. Mandarin and blood orange mix with aquatic, airy and green notes to create a surreal dreamscape where the sky is beneath your feet and a vast blue ocean hangs over your head. See-through boats drift by, and the invigorating aroma of imaginary citrus trees energizes your senses. You don’t want to go back to the world you know.
