- Aromagroups:

An ornate tobacco leather with a hint of intoxicating tobacco bloom, as well as fresh leaves.
Montabaco is part of the Four Corners of the Earth collection and represents Latin America, the land where tobacco originated.
The perfumer conjures the original jungle encounters between natives and the sailor-explorers (who were totally oblivious to the magic of tobacco at that point). This is a novel interpretation of a tobacco-themed perfume, invoking lush green shadows full of parrot cries, mysterious blooms, and adventure.
The elixir is also exceptionally concentrated, at 42%. Hence the 'intensivo' in the title.

It is the energy of myth and the elegance of the garden that inspire a refined and vigorous essence.
Bergamot and juniper berries become full-bodied on a carpet of incense, fading into the persistent fascination of oriental wood.
The presence of a marble Hercules in the garden of the perfumer’s house, triumph of courage and immortality, elevates to myth the creations of Agatho and the Giardinodiercole becomes a perfume.

A collaboration with Anselm Skogstad.
Monopteros, an architectural term for a circular colonnade supporting a roof but without any walls.
In this perfume the dome is made of a giant coconut shell, the columns are made of coffee and spices and there is an icy aldehydes fountain in the center. The perfume is trippy, but in fun way.

A unique spicy gourmand perfume that celebrates the vibrancy and charming character of the El Born district of Barcelona.
Distinctly Mediterranean notes of Sicilian lemon, Calabrian bergamot and balmy honey, lead you on a trail through the winding cobbled stone streets of El Born, whilst angelica root adds a contrasting herbal and cooling licorice accord.
An eclectic mix of old bookshops, galleries, wine bars and pastelerías sit nestled among tall buildings. Balconies, dotted with plants and flowers pay witness to Barcelona's rich history. A warm heart of benzoin, Egyptian jasmine, fig tree fruit and heliotrope invites you to sit and observe, soaking up the atmosphere as life slowly drifts by.
A cozy base of sandalwood, Peru balm, vanilla and musk welcomes a warm twilight evening spent relaxing by the dramatic 13th Century church Santa Maria del Mar, watching over the lively scene of Barcelona's past, present and future mingling together.

Cigar boxes. Camden market bong shops reeking of joss sticks. Old lady soap. Sandalwood sometimes gets a bit of a bad rap. Undaunted, we’ve taken the dependable old fave and turned it on its head.
We’ve tracked down a unique Australian sandalwood versatile enough to handle hints of outlandish but ethically and sustainably sourced banana, cardamom, black pepper with weird and wonderful Labdanum and Benzoin resin. Which all means that this is sandalwood unlike anything you’ve experienced before.
So, unlike the bong shop, it won’t make your hair stink for weeks.
