Rich and gothic Moth starts with a heavy dose of dark spices to jolt your senses before settling into a dusting of honey-sweet rose and powdery florals. Slowly, it tests its wings, taking flight on an exotic journey of nagarmotha, guaiac wood and patchouli. Beneath it all lingers a smoky undertone that serves as a constant reminder to fluttering creatures of the danger in the tantalizing flame.

The Orange Extraordinaire collection.

500 years is an homage to the role of rose in Western perfumery and culture. In a way this perfume is like a Rose line on the tube map starting from the rose water of Tudor times and then going through some classic rose recipes: a chypre, oriental rose, gourmand rose. 500 years is a complex story, however it is a clever progression through nuances rather than all of them exploding all at once.

An essence whose floral and enveloping notes are rooted in myth, which plays with hypnotizing the senses like the young and beautiful Adonis against Aphrodite. Releasing the freshness of the flowers of wisteria, jasmine, geranium, damask rose, and white lily, this essence interprets and expresses the beautiful and damned Adonis, like a flower of short life that: “badly fixed to the ground and too fragile lightness owes its name to the wind and the wind just scatters its petals ”.

Enter the realm of dangerous flora, where flowers bloom hungrily and fatal nectar beckons. Beneath smooth leaves, sharp thorns await. This is nature’s exquisite revenge, where beauty becomes an irresistible danger. This fragrance opens with the peppery-lemon of elemi and bitter green artemisia. A bloody rose unfurls alongside its scent kin Egyptian geranium, their metallic facets softened by velvety osmanthus. Resin, incense and woods lends authority. 

Réserve en Afrique eaux de parfum feature responsibly sourced naturals, and are free from parabens, phthalates, UV filters and colorants. Their natural alcohol base is derived from beetroots, and they are a PETA-listed vegan & cruelty-free brand.

The atmosphere of a luxuriant garden, where the notes of Carnation, Rose, Geranium, Jasmin and aromatic spices blend into a spicy-floral accord that gives this fragrance its distinctive personality.

A perfume formula originating in 1921 and still in production and demand. It has of course been adapted to modern tastes and industry rules.

It still features the materials and design that made it famous: a drop of French rose, a pinch of geranium, mixed with oakmoss and wrapped in smooth sandalwood. It’s an elegant sugar free rose perfume with musky, bitter woody background.
style.

Molinard has also developed several versions of this iconic blend: Habanita Edition Exclusive (less rose more amber), Habanita L'Esprit (a fresh floral with mimosa layered over the rose) and Habanita La Cologne (a crisp cologne with most focus on oakmoss and vetiver). 

David Maruitte

“Nerosa is a perfume realized with David Maruitte in 2011, but at that time we believed that Laboratorio Olfattivo was not yet ready to launch a fragrance like this. Today instead, Nerosa can perfectly enter in our Black Collection, thanks to the depth, wealth and strength of its formula. A fragrance whose energy is noticeable and whose enveloping sillage is strong.”

Perfumer: Dominique Ropion

Master perfumer Dominique Ropion has an affinity for legible complexity, with creations that are deep without losing clarity. Here he offers a deceptively simple rose that plays with contrasts: dry into wet, crisp into voluptuous. In a bit of misdirection, a lean basil and mint twins with rose for an opening that suggests the rest of the journey will be straightforward. That’s until the gunpowder shows up, unfurling its metallic, cold and smoky facets. Geranium shores up the minty rose, while incense, vetiver and benzoin flicker between wood and amber. A dance of beauty and violence.

Sensual and voluptuous, Rose has a mysterious simplicity. The Eau de Parfum embodies contemporary feminity with graceful notes ans playfully unveils its fruity chords. An invitation to a walk along the Riviera as a return to the Dolce Vita.
