Urban Springtime
Petals and broken glass. Line the festal way.
Accidental emeralds gleam
Amid silken pink blossom. Trodden underfoot,
Sodden and sad:
Softness and sharpness
Mingling in the fallen trash.
Ten green bottles. Smashed against my wall,
Ten green bottles. Didn’t accidentally fall.
Drifts of pink petals
Candy-floss coloured. Blow lazily in hot wind
Drying to nothingness. In a few days, gone.
Some rubbish I can live with.

"It is like taking in a fresh breath of spring air. The air is crisp, and the trees are newly blossomed. This scent opens up with zesty, tangy citrus which rolls into clean floral blossoms. It's as if you're sitting underneath a Linden tree, newly blossomed in the heart of spring,"
Notes include bergamot, lemon, lime, neroli, lime (linden blossom), orange blossom, jasmine, rose, vetiver and musk, producing a crisp white aromatic floral fragrance - quite sweet and full of new springs new flourish with a nice light musk softness at the end.

A Lab On Fire
Made In Heaven
"Residing in the atmosphere, she descends, wings spread. She calls out, Make love. Make a promise. Make it last. Through the window comes possibility, an opening. Through the unbarred window, a white cloud-ridge. Be enveloped; join hands in perfect union. On a gust of wind, wings fanned out, she alights."
The nose behind this new fragrance is Pascal Gaurin. Ingredients include saffron, magnolia petals, Italian mandarin. Jasmine sambac, tuberose, Tunisian orange flower. “cereal accord,” orris, vanilla bean. A cocktail of gentle citrus floral and saffron hits you first, developing into a stronger orange accord made piquant by the jasmine and orris. The creamyness at the end then continues to develop into an amalgam of orange posset with a minute touch of rose water.

40 Notes
Spring Vetiver
"Vetiver comes alive in a brilliant fresh accord of sparkling grapefruit, tangy cassis, floral Dossinia and dewy honeysuckle. Exquisite natural vetiver keeps it’s earthy-clean, woodsy drydown, softened with the gentlest of musks."
Grapefruit, black currant, honeysuckle, orchid, vetiver and musk
A beautiful purified fragrance where loamy Haitian vetiver is hyperbolized by zingy grapefruit and cassis all cushioned together with velvet musk notes.
