Powerful yet not overpowering, UNUE possesses all the attributes of an afterglow, a floral-woody expression in sandalwood and musks that ensure a sensual presence! Notes of Italian bergamot, Egyptian jasmine and ylang-ylang immediately set the tone and show their colors! Radiant and as graceful as a white flower, the top note conjures a floral-white that seems traversed by a ray of light. At its heart lies a fruity accord. A restrained touch of plum and pineapple blend with a duo of Pink Berries and Anise. To underscore the almost carnal, woody density of its dry-down, the perfumer weaves a backdrop of musks and comforting, silky and milky sandalwood that becomes one with the skin. A trail that makes itself known with finesse and elegance.
A vertical totem of mineral woods and stellar sparks of spice, Purpose is a shamanic awakening, the scent of feeling at peace, of finding your roots, of being complete.
SHAMANIC AWAKENING
A brisk Bergamot washes over you like a draft of glacial air. You feel the cold grip of Pink Pepper, the slight tingle of Pimento Berry in your fingers and a Frankincense encapsulating your past and your future.
A deep breath fills your lungs with the fierce and smoky scent of Sand Vetiver and of an animalic Rose whose weathered tobacco accents tame the tension between an earthy Papyrus and a silken touch of Sandalwood.
Yet this is roads’ end, where the sun is always high, and rays of aldehydic Mystikal suddenly spear through Saffron and Suede, your leathery cloak of doubts, to kindle a mist of Akigalawood, shimmering like a swarm of fireflies.

“Pomona Vitalis opens with fruity facets of lychee, strawberry
and apple balanced with a sparkle of bergamot. The lychee
complements the rose heart, enhancing the sense of dewy,
fresh, petals.
The heart revolves around a multi-faceted rose with both
Bulgarian rose oil with radiant metallic, green geranium shades
and fruity wine top notes, and the Rose Absolute brings a
distinctive rich and voluptuous sweetness with spicy green
honey and tobacco undertones. With a whisper of lavender.
The base is warm and enveloping with balmy vanilla and
benzoin facets, creamy shares of sandalwood and styrax which
enriches the resinous character and depth adding a leathery
tone “

INSPIRATION
Our muse was Pomona, a captivating beauty
and the goddess of gardens, fruit and orchards. She
spent her days tending to the blossoms and fruit in the
orchard, pruning the roses in the gardens and tending
to nature. She represented abundance, plenty and
rosy fresh faced beauty to the Ancient Romans.
Uncompromising, bold, filled with enigmatic charm.
Based on master perfumer Maurice Roucel’s personal cologne, Uncut Gem is an unapologetically manly scent, diamond-hard and absolutely fresh. Clear, spicy top notes of ginger, bergamot, mandarin, angelica root and nutmeg lead you to the sensual fire within: a leathery accord, vetiver, frankincense, generous amounts of amber, and a musk that vibrates with the skin. This is a scent that plays with the tired codes of masculinity while extracting their telluric force to create something beautiful and irresistible.
Maurice Roucel started his career as a chemist at Chanel’s Fragrance Laboratory in 1973. A self-taught perfumer who describes himself as “an explorer wandering amidst formulas”, his style is that of a sensuous aesthete and his signature is generous composition, in which he retains only what is essential.
PARAGON, goes beyond the skin all the way to the soul and leads you to another dimension : plenitude.
PARAGON houses the botanical soul of Palo Santo and white Sage. It draws in the beneficial properties of these sacred plants, whose use has been secretly passed down through initiation ceremonies dating back to the first lines of Inca shamans.
PARAGON is a vibrant and faceted scent. Pairing the soothing influence of Bergamot and Lavender with the force of Pepper, stimulating the mind and opening the heart.
As the 23rd parallel north unites the sundrenched shores of Cuba and Oman, Opus XIV – Royal Tobacco weaves as one their iconic treasures, Royal Frankincense and Tobacco Absolute, hence bearing the name of Royal Tobacco.
Both fumigated since the earliest days of recorded history, their vertical signature imprints the entire evolution of the perfume, each enriched with supporting notes that reveal and sublime their complex personality.
Aromatic flashes of Cardamom and Elemi light up a voluptuous heart shining with many facets of flowers and balsams casting their reflections upon the Frankincense and Tobacco duo. Emboldened by Benzoin, Labdanum and Myrrh, ambery notes of Vanilla Absolute and Tonka Bean echo the coumarinic depth of Fenugreek while graceful volutes of Prunol, Bulgarian Rose and Osmanthus Absolute evoke the fruitiness and floralcy of high-end cigars. Supported by Anise and Basil, the typically treacly burnt molasses notes of Liquorice act as a link with the choral finale of smoky Birch Tar, Vetiver and Guaiacwood amped up by the glaring animality of Oud.
Opus XIV – Royal Tobacco is a daring, lavish, deep and modern creation fit for men and women alike.
With L’Instant de Guerlain pour Homme, the Guerlain Perfumer takes a first step towards freshness in 2004, showcasing a hot and cold olfactory contrast. The fresh top notes are inspired by an oriental aniseed drink called arak. The base notes feature the gourmand notes of the dessert by a famous pastry-maker, worked around chocolate and patchouli.
LIVE THE MOMENT
L’Instant de Guerlain pour Homme highlights a unique moment: the one in which a man takes the initiative and after which everything will be different.
This woody, sparkling, seductive fragrance was composed of contrasts. It is nothing less than surprising.
ZERO is a radical expression of simplicity. A reset. The origin of a new perspective: the antithesis of excess.
An exploration of freedom found within purposeful parameters. Carbon neutrality embraced as a formative concept; the foundational motif of a fragrance. Every element shaped by reduction. The clarity of restraint
Fewer ingredients: a shorter formula, meticulously assembled. At once in line with the Comme des Garçons fragrance philosophy and the preservation of resources.
Rich, natural cedarwood – hand-harvested and extracted using hydroelectric power – enlivened by a fresh breeze of Bergamot. The raw seduction of musk and equitably-sourced Haitian vetiver patchworked against illusory beauty: an overdose of synthetic rose, a varnish accord.
A subversive harmony of dichotomies. An untraceable wood.
Prized oud wood is the star of this creation of great contrasts. A blend of aromas that brings the exquisiteness of this wood to the fore; a material as valued for its scarcity as for its long evolution process. It takes more than 75 years before the best oud resin can be extracted.
A fragrant composition that carries us away to the wooden deck of Agneta, the sailing boat belonging to Gianni Agnelli who represents Eight & Bob’s values of elegance and lifestyle so well.
Lively, spicy opening notes with a hint of roasted coffee are shrouded in amber which adds an addictive, modern touch. A mysterious masterpiece that evokes feelings of nostalgia.
Agneta is an enigmatic and discreet yet spirited fragrance in which a sense of calm and an addictive, mysterious veil arouse the desire to be at one with the sea, body and soul.
