For centuries, this golden resin has been gathered from the wool of animals, breathing its scent into fabric and skin. Here, labdanum glows rather than burns — thick, balsamic, embracing. It’s animated by tickly aromatics: licorice, celery seed, cinnamon leaf and immortelle.

This fragrance is a tribute to the beauty of Madagascan vanilla — one of the finest vanillas in the world. Mafonja means “intense” (as in power or strength) in Malagasy.

It opens with a breath of fleur de sel, evoking salt-kissed skin. A soft heat follows, as cinnamon, pink pepper (Mauritius), and nutmeg wrap the senses in warmth. Ylang-ylang (Comoros) lends a creamy, luminous floral note. As the scent deepens, a darker story unfolds: resinous myrrh (Somalia) and olibanum (Somalia) melt into dark amber.

A self-possessed perfume for a person who doesn’t need anything, but craves everything. This is excess with control, 70s-era Bianca Jagger wearing Halston, lighting up the Studio 54 dance floor. Carine is a fiercely chic patchouli with an ample gardenia and jasmine cleavage, trussed in a corset of vetiver. Sighs of rose and amber sail through the trail of this Dominique Ropion composition. Confident, elegant, insolent.
