‘All the soarings of my mind begin in my blood’
Rainer Maria Rilke
***
A perfumed celebration of saints and superstitions, centred around a fierce fenugreek absolute note lavished with singed pyrazines, sacrificial myrrh and mournful molten honey poured over everything like amber rain. Meadow blooms, sticky dark resins, pungent balms and ashen clouds of iris swirl like dramatic weather.
Nefer by Parfum Prissana £140.00
- Key notes:
- amber
- cardamom
- ginger
- incense
- myrrh
- saffron
- sandalwood
- Aromagroups:
- leather
- unconventional
- woody
In ancient Egyptian, Nefer (as in Nefertiti!) was the word for beauty or goodness.
If you traced the history of perfume back to the first records ever made by humans, you would probably end up in ancient Egypt. The incense and embalming solutions connected to gods, and the use of personal perfumes signalled status - and in the case of Cleopatra, seduction. The queen was known to soak the sails of her Nile ships in rose oil, so the wind would herald the fragrant news of her imminent arrival. When archaeologists found ancient perfume bottles in the tombs, the fragrances worthy of the afterlife were prepared with myrrh, cinnamon and cardamom, among other ingredients.
Nefer, the new perfume from Prissana, is inspired by this story: the ancient incense recipe, the mystery of a long-lost fragrance, and the dry desert winds carrying the spicy balm.

Mulberry Fig by Floris £180.00
- Key notes:
- amber
- coconut
- fig
- orris (iris root)
- sandalwood
- Aromagroups:
- green
- woody
An Eau de Parfum with floral amber notes, Mulberry Fig, is a warm creamy scent combined with bittersweet, green, and powdery orris notes to an incredible effect.
Created by the in-house perfumery team at 89 Jermyn Street.
Inspired by St James's Park, a quick promenade away from our Jermyn Street shop, one of London’s oldest Royal Parks, surrounded by some of the country’s most famous landmarks and lush greenery.
Creamy sweet and bitter green aromas encompass the shoreline of the blissful lake towered by an abundance of fig trees, immense in scale with elongated deciduous leaves flaunting their architectural foliage, believed to be the largest in Britain.
Mulberry Fig is a scent that evokes a floral amber fragrance combining the soft powdery character of orris with hints of fruit and spice. The perfume opens with a sparkle of fig and cardamom supported from the heart with fragrant green tones of vetiver and cypress. Amyris, cedarwood and sandalwood emphasise the overall woody character that permeates through the perfume.

Perfumer: Cecile Matton
A novel material: curry essence, extracted with a breakthrough method where the resulting oil is a true rendition of the original material's aroma.
The Etat Libre d'Orange's story for this perfume:
In classical mythologies, there were the demigods, the offspring of a god and a human, or a mortal who was raised to divine status. An ancient Greek poet used the word demigod as a synonym for hero. They demonstrated strength and power, a willingness to face challenges and confront danger.
In the New World, there were the explorers, who discovered unknown lands. They were heroes too, battling forces of nature to find new territories. And throughout history — scientists, artists, composers, entertainers — all heroes in their own way.
New heroes are born every day. There is an element, or an event, or a circumstance, or maybe just a quirk in their personalities that changes them, empowers them, enables them to transcend the ordinary. They believe in something different, something better. They want to change the rules, break the rules, alter the status quo, in whatever grand or small way they find meaningful. They are on a journey, and maybe it’s the effort alone that makes them remarkable.
For some, their efforts bring fame and glory. Many others remain unknown. But they cannot — they should not — be ignored.
These are our people — the remarkable citizens of Etat Libre d’Orange, the Orange Free State. The “un” people — uncompromising, unexpected, unconventional, unpredictable. We salute them, we honor them, by offering the extraordinary fragrance they deserve.

- rum
- sandalwood
- smoke
- Aromagroups:
- leather
- woody
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.
