Early morning, October 1175, Calabria

The cool night air dissipates under the sun’s first rays. The ripe citrus in the field has absorbed all the water of the morning dew and the farmers are ready to work on the misty green fields, speckled by the bright yellow of the citron. They leave their woody cabin and take a deep breath…

A floral flight of a thousand fragrances from the Pays de Grasse.

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.

Chaco is the second largest primary forest of Latin America, called the "impenetrable forest" for its incredibly dense formation. This Paraguayan forest is the only place in the world where gaiac wood grows, known locally as palo santo. The region is also prized by perfumers as source of petitgrain essential oil, as well yerba maté tea leaves. Chaco the fragrance is a cologne style built around a refined tea structure. Perfumer Alexandra Monet placed the petitgrain and maté in conversation with each other, heightening each other’s mellow greenness in the process. Palo santo, with its woody, salty and smoky facets, brings warmth and sensuality, resulting in a unique unisex signature with lightness and modern elegance.

A green citrus perfume in which the delicious juicy aroma of ripe mandarins is mixed with the dry greenness of petitgrain, soft musky geranium, and crisp cedarwood.

As always, Perris go for the best materials they can source from around the world. Mandarins in this perfume come from southern Italy, with nuances supplied by green and yellow mandarins harvested in different seasons.

The green fruit extract has a delicate fleeting aroma, which rolls into a more confident sweet blend of ripe mandarins. The amber note in the base merges the two into a happy zesty perfume.

About Palais Jamais by Etro

How does Palais Jamais differ from the fragrances listed here?
Palais Jamais combines smoky birch tar and musk with fresh citrus and herbaceous notes, creating a distinct woody aromatic balance. The listed fragrances capture some of its citrus, floral or woody elements but often omit the smoky or musky undertones that define Palais Jamais’s unique character.
Which notes give Palais Jamais its smoky character?
The smoky character primarily arises from birch tar, which adds a tarry, slightly leathery aroma. Oakmoss contributes earthy depth, while musk provides a subtle warmth and softness, completing the woody aromatic profile.
Are these fragrances suitable for both men and women like Palais Jamais?
Yes, like Palais Jamais, many of the fragrances here are unisex, blending fresh citrus, aromatic herbs and woody notes. Their compositions suit a wide range of preferences regardless of gender.
