Early morning, October 1175, Calabria

Marcelle by Marie Jeanne £110.00
- Key notes:

- Aromagroups:
- citrusy
- woody
Perfumer: Michèle Saramito
A new addition to Bloom’s portfolio, an elegant cologne with sweet sun kissed citruses, honeyed neroli and amber background.
With classic formulas it’s the quality of the ingredients that matters. Marie Jeanne might be a new perfume house, but it’s founded by a young perfumer from a family connected to Robertet for several generations.
Robertet is a bit like De Beers of the fine natural perfume materials - matières premières, for decades they have been dealing with the finest, purest and most precious stuff a perfumer can dream of.
This is Marcelle, a classic elegant cologne but with highly likely the best bergamot from Italy, grapefruit from Spain, neroli from Tunisia and petigrain from Paraguay among other notes in the formula.

- Key notes:
- ambroxan
- calamansi
- incense
- lemon
- vetiver
- Aromagroups:
- citrusy

A novel citrus dedicated to calamansi (aka Philippine lime). This peculiar fruit grows in the tropical forest of the Philippines. Calamansi is a bit like a lemon, but is green on the outside and yellow on the inside, with a rich, diverse fragrance palette, at once sparkling and luscious.
This sweet and zesty (at the same time) note plays the lead role in Citrus Noir and is paired with dry exotic incense.
Immortali Santi by Santi Peccatori £180.00

The name means “immortal saints”, and this eau de parfum is a timeless white floral that conjures sunshine and joy. Blood orange and Champagne fizz out of the top, swirling around lavish tuberose and heady jasmine grandiflorum. The holy trinity of Cashmeran, ISO E Super and ambroxan creates a base that clings to skin, fabric and memory.

An intense incense that shapeshifts between cold/smoky and warm/creamy. This dream belongs to the mythological Irish warrior poet Ossian, who inspired the Romantic literary movement across 18th century Europe. Rêve d'Ossian conjures misty midnight forests with smouldering notes of pine, frankincense and myrrh, before calling forth the benevolence of Celtic fairies with mellow tonka bean and vanillic benzoin.
