Perfumer: Bertrand Duchaufour
Visual artist: landscape artist/photographer Martin Hill.
The same way in which Martin goes to a sight and rearranges what nature left there into an installation, the perfumer rearranged some molecules and materials to put the beauty of a natural material into focus.
Also Martin aims to let his structures be absorbed back into natural chaos. Perfume evaporates into the environment in a similar fashion, beautiful but transient.
In Vanilla Shot all of the focus is on vanilla (natural, dark and balsamic). The concept of the perfume is inspired by a photo of a piece of Martin Hill's land art shot at dreamy dusk (below). The twigs used in the structure balanced over the lake are reminiscent of vanilla beans. The installation transcends two planes - liquid and ether and in the perfume vanilla spans the sweet and bitter corners of the scented universe. Vanilla Shot is not an ordinary sweet gourmand. In this perfume all nuances of natural vanilla get proper attention: balsamic, fruity, spicy, sweet and even leathery.
V.I.T.R.I.O.L. by Maqueda £290.00
- Key notes:
- burnt rubber
- civet
- cucumber
- indole
- olive oil
- rose
- violet leaf
- Aromagroups:
- leather
- unconventional
Separately, the aromas of rose, pear, patchouli, strawberry, vanilla and sandalwood are objectively appealing. But combined with fecal civet, rotting cucumber and burnt rubber, V.I.T.R.I.O.L. evokes the odour of a garbage dump where a man is digging his own grave.
H₂O³ by 32.JULI £155.00
- Key notes:
- angelica root
- cucumber
- driftwood
- frankincense
- galbanum
- verjus
- vetiver
- Aromagroups:
- green
A mineral mood at the intersection of bright green galbanum, sour-fruity verjus, and earthy-celery angelica. Like a clear morning on the shore, when water hits stone and mist hangs in the air. Dew glistens on the foliage.
Asoral by Mendittorosa £260.00
- Key notes:
- magnolia
- musk
- peony
- rose
- Aromagroups:
- floral
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.

Almaz by Kajal £175.00
- Key notes:
- blackcurrant
- heliotrope
- orris (iris root)
- powdery nuance
- raspberry
- rose
- vanilla
- Aromagroups:
- fruity
- green
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.
