1.   Flashback

A memory in motion and in action: that is also the magic and the raison d’être of Flash Back. A tangy and vibrant fragrance, Flash Back is an olfactory reminiscence: tangy and slightly green rhubarb mixed with hesperides revives an enveloping childhood smell: that of rhubarb tart. A base note of vetiver and cedar give it woody sensuality.
Perfumer : Olivier Cresp

Top notes: rhubarb grapefruit orange Heart notes: pink pepper granny smith apple base notes: vetiver cedar amber musks

2.   Wanted

Diane Pernet Paris

Reminiscent of an oriental garden as the mist rolls in. Slightly dishevelled and overgrown, moss clings to stone statues obscured by twisting trees and shrubs. Bursts of exotic scents are elevated by a delicate cloud of steam. There are notes of clove, juniper, nutmeg, leather with a little musk accord in the air.

3.   L’Air de Rien

A bespoke fragrance created by Jane Birkin designed to evoke the nostalgia of dusty libraries.

Challenging the conventional, Jane sought to evoke the nostalgia of dusty libraries and old books. Lyn masterfully conjures this essence with rich notes of oak moss, Tunisian neroli, sweet musk, amber and vanilla. As indefinable as it is alluring, l’Air de Rien captures the essence of Jane’s inimitable style.

Exuberant, elegant, but timeless. A joyful and intriguing fragrance with head notes such as saffron and coffee, mitigated by a large floral heart of rose petals, lily of the valley and geranium which lead to a deep woody base of finest agarwood, myrrh, sandalwood, guayacan wood and cedar wood.

5.   Bloody Wood

A fragrance of opposites

6.   Black Saffron

An oriental composition, opens with the bright citrus note of the asian pomelo and crisp juniper berries, mellowed into a golden silage by kashmiri saffron. at its heart, lies black violet fused with a leather accord, their dark, dry composition born aloft by the delicate transparency of cristal rose. at the base, blond woods add radiant warmth and harmony, punctuated by flashes of luscious raspberry. the journey concludes with the gentle, earthy evocations of haitian vetiver.

top: pomelo, saffron, juniper berry

7.   Malaise of the 1970S

"Malaise gives off the metallic smell of the spaceships that will carry us anywhere out of this world, as Baudelaire once said. “A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away” with Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia. Aboard the musical mothership of Close Encounters, led by François Truffaut, whose generous gaze will soon go out. And the pungency of the leather armor we slip on to scare off the hippies.

Citrus, black pepper, amber, prune JE, electric aldehydes, heliotrope, patchouli, orcanox, leather…

This scent from Etat Libre d'Orange blends the piquancy of black pepper and piquant aldehydes with the headiness of patchouli and leather.

Inspired by a wealth of seventies pop culture references, from Star Wars to The Stranglers, Malaise of the 1970s captures the resistant and tumultuous spirit of the times.

8.   Black Collection

"In a smooth universe where olfactory creativity has lost all originality, HERVÉ GAMBS written a new chapter in its history unconventional designer with his collection "BLACK". Ignoring the dictates, Hervé Gambs claims a free world where the olfactory Perfume asserts primarily a personality. No predefined nor feminine nor masculine, Perfume should just bring the evidence of an intimate encounter between a fragrance and the skin of a person.
For this new collection, Hervé Gambs was inspired by the animal nature to reveal all the sensuality in you. Notes of leather and wood to agreements that offer bold olfactory sensations and intense emotions."

Infusion Noire

A sassy fragrance combines the depth of the timber to heat the spices.
A deep and troubling agreement where the cedar, sage and lavender clash wood anise star anise. The heart hot pepper spice, pepper and nutmeg and bold strengthens the ambivalent character of the fragrance between wild nature and extreme refinement.
