Paris in 1988. A secret cult of women. Matisse’s La Danse. Ritual dancing, whispered sounds, the ecstasy of burning skin. A maddening collision of ice cold pear juice and chili.

To showcase this exceptional marriage, AFFINESSENCE has combined two types of VANILLA (Tahitian Vanilla Absolute, intensely fragranced with leather overtones and the sweet scent of Madagascan Vanilla Absolute) and blended them with an exquisite alter ego: Siamese BENZOIN, a fragrant Resin originating in Laos, highly valued for its balsamic and almond notes.
As Ambroxan, enfolded in Tonka Bean and Moroccan and Chinese Cedar, exudes its carnal notes, the Benzoin transcends the Vanilla with its intoxicating scent as if to better diffuse its spellbinding trail. Perfumer : Corine CACHEN.

A radiant aura and yet, an impalpable softness.
The sensuality and elegance of white flowers and musk.
A radiant aura and yet, an impalpable softness. This elegant floral-musky-woody fragrance created by Julien Sprecher is a unique play on codes, materials and subtle contrasts. An evocation of the skin caressed by a veil of cotton. Fresh top notes as bergamot, mandarin and sweet white peach, lead to a blend of white flowers, settling on musk and ambrofix sensual base notes.
The Baccarat Rouge 540 sparkling body oil is a sensual conclusion to a beauty ritual, beautifying the skin with a floral, amber and woody aura. This shimmering 24-carat gold scented oil is inspired by the secret of Rouge à l’or, an alchemy obtained by blending crystal and gold powder, leaving the skin delicately sparkled and scented.

Create an explosion!
A rose diffracted into a scent of phenomenal power. An olfactory explosion with an intense emotional charge. An exhilaration of pure energy, climaxing into intoxication. An extraordinary fragrance in the true sense of the word.
From the first moment, rose rushes to the head and brings colour to the cheeks. As explosive as it is elusive, it expresses itself forcefully and fully embraces its ambiguities. Bright, with its shadows. Feminine and masculine. Soft, but ruthless. Like an adrenalin rush, Atomic Rose shows its extravagance to exalt its wearer.
An explosive equation
A Rose with the potency of Hedione HC. Driven by the iconic ingredient of the Carnal Blends collection, the queen of flowers enters another dimension. Heightened and magnified, it enacts its own revolution in an absolute and uncompromising fragrance.
Carnal Blends, intoxicating essences
Can perfume increase our power of attraction? For a long time, we have only been able to trust in our intuition to confirm this. Science did not recognise that scents have the capacity to trigger the production of sex hormones. Then a team of researchers from Bochum University in Germany proved that some odorous molecules can activate regions of the brain connected to libido. This singular link between scents, pleasure and sexuality is at the core of the Carnal Blends collection. This collection is firmly transgressive and plays on bold combinations to highlight its carnal notes with one aim in mind: to trigger emotions and heighten sexual attraction.
What is its secret ingredient?
Hedione HC; a molecule which is of floral origin, a compound found in the heart notes of jasmine and magnolia, that provides radiant and airy power to a fragrance. Hedione HC also activates a region of the brain related to pleasure and increased libido. Initio has made it the signature of Carnal Blends. This sensually open collection boasts fragrances that are much more than perfume. Sensual potions with immediate appeal that speak to our most unconscious and primal depths. An ode to our animality…
Kilian Hennessy’s Inspiration:
Inspired by the citiy of New York, KILIAN PARIS introduces its new addition to the Liquors olfactive family: Apple Brandy on the Rocks, an olfactive soundtrack to nightlife’s liberation to come. Apple Brandy was first conceived with perfumer Sidonie Lancesseur for the opening of KILIAN PARIS’s New York flagship eight years ago. The fragrance returns, featuring the original apple brandy core but, this time, with an added uplift—KILIAN PARIS’s signature “on the rocks” accord blended into the opening for an ice-cold liquored delight expressing a uniquely KILIAN PARIS character. A blend of bergamot, apple brandy and cardamon, the accord cools down the original, adding excitement and modernity.
The Perfume:
This fresh opening of Apple Brandy on the Rocks unfolds into the perfume’s core personality: a distinctive apple brandy accord, in which a crisp fruity blend harmonizes with brandy—recreated using notes of rum for the liquor aspect, moss and vanilla. Upon a core structure of cedarwood and ambroxan, the scent carries sophistication into the night. It captures the constant reincarnation and incontestable elegance of the ‘Big Apple’—most especially that of its legendary nightlife.
Perfume notes: Bergamot, Apple Brandy and Cardamon
In the Middle East, a promise made between two people is accompanied by the strictest honor code.
Frédéric Malle celebrates this principle with a promise of his own, whose beating heart is made of two precious varieties of rose: rose essence from Bulgaria and rose absolute from Turkey are lifted by apple, pink pepper and clove, and bound to a sensuous base of patchouli, cypriol and labdanum; an accord as unbreakable, and invisible, as a vow.
Rio ascends to new heights. With added sun-ripened wild fruits, zesty pineapple and sweet mango, this is a pure celebration of vitality. A stunning carnival of a perfume – exhilarating, explosive and dazzling.
Montabaco Rio is forthright, streets ahead when it comes to sheer panache. A quartet of moss, amber, vanilla and suede almost makes for a dangerous liaison but allows Rio to achieve its goal with great finese.

“Althaïr explores a majestic, subtle and surprisingly fresh vanilla that is elegant, generous and charismatic.” Julien Sprecher, Founder and Artistic Director of Parfums de Marly.
An unexpected, modern ode to a universal ingredient of perfumery: Bourbon vanilla, a direct descendant of the vanilla introduced in France under the reign of Louis XV.
Althaïr is an elixir that is both warm and fresh, gourmand and light, with an unexpected rush of vanilla, citrus, spices, and noble woods. A sequence of ingredients that reveal one another before ultimately becoming one in a dazzling projection on the skin. A scent of elegant hedonism that can seduce both men and women.
Valaya Exclusif draws its inspiration from the minimalist, masterful silhouette that became the hallmark of French court dresses in the late 18th century. That neo-classical style dared to layer precious materials atop one another, mixing opacity and transparency, and reconciling refinement and sensuality; also evoked through its white frosted bottle.
A fragrance of refined luxury, exuding a powerful aura that embodies feminine elegance for contemporary aesthetes who desire it all. Valaya Exclusif, a unique yet universal floral woody creation, unveils the sensual and velvety allure of almond, the lightness of transparent white flowers, and the refined strength of creamy white woods. Enhanced by powdery notes, it radiates an enticing warmth and delivers a sensation of velvety softness that tenderly envelops the skin.

For the first time, the Parisian brand Jéroboam breaks its historical codes and swaps its black and gold for an Orange, which evokes joyful memories.
The fragrance, a powerful woody and spicy floral scent that is perfectly mixed, radiates sensual floral facets tinged with subtle hints of spices on a base of musks, precious woods and modern notes of ambroxan.
Inspired by stories of the Covent Garden Piazza in the 19th and early 20th centuries, when it was a playground for the sinful and decadent pleasures of the dandies and literati, Master Perfumer Maurice Roucel and award-winning senior perfumer Alexandra Carlin concoct the expressive elements of the duality between light and shadow, danger and desire.
Bright and punchy, yet dark and mysterious, Bohemian Infusion is a fragrance of contrasts. It reinterprets the iconic cologne structure with unexpected ingredients in a freestyle fashion.
Zesty citrus accents of Grapefruit and Petitgrain fuse with juicy Blackcurrant and Cardamom. Cinnamon underlines the spicy nuance and blend with a bold bouquet of icy and resinous aromatic notes of Artemisia, Myrtle and Longoza. Enigmatic shades of earthy Patchouli and mineral Ambrostar are wrapped with carnal Labdanum and sensual Ambre 84 de Laire.
