An invisible tattoo of the tropics, glowing on warm skin. Latin for “tropical light”, Tropicum Luminis begins with a soft rush of cassis, coconut, apricot and plum — juicy but restrained — lifted by fresh aloe vera from the Canary Islands.

A vivid burst of green/fruity rhubarb and watery/rosy lychee sets the weekend mood. It’s pink sweatshirt day, and the scent matches the vibe. Witty, not cute — we’re not trying too hard, here. Sour cranberry cuts strawberry’s sweetness, and Champagne crispness is offset by white musk. You catch yourself in the mirror: “I’m good like this.”
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.

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.
Helioflora by Pierre Guillaume White Collection £140.00
- Key notes:
- apricot
- buddleia flower
- sandalwood
- Aromagroups:
- floral
- fruity
A fruit and herbs sorbet.
Granita or 'granité' in French (also called 'granita Siciliana' in Italian) is a refreshing semi-frozen dessert typical of Sicily.
It comes in an intermediate consistency between that of sherbet and crushed ice. Its current manufacture involves the partial freezing of a constantly stirred mixture of water, ice and fruit or other tasty ingredients.
Helioflora is a woody floral built like a 'granita' made with flowers, fruits, wood and herbs. A sorbet of rhubarb, apricot and basil brings a particular flavor to the floral scent of Buddleia (Butterfly tree) and the soft woody heat of a red sandalwood note.
