Passion Boisée celebrates this long-drawn intimacy. Just as cognac in its cask, the fragrance is embraced by wood: the dry and incisive elegance of cedar and the mossy, almost chocolaty depth of patchouli.
Against this backdrop, some of the most characteristic aromas of cognac conjure an evocative setting. The warm Christmas smell of tangerine spiked with cloves. The burning spices in a glass of rum. The smoothness of a leather armchair or of a jacket worn soft by years of love. A whiff of night-time forest through an open window…

Encapsulating the timeless style and grace of haute couture, Heritage is a luxurious jasmine perfume of remarkable depth and projection. A delicate but defiant powdery vintage floral with a crisp, fresh opening of bergamot that leans into the majesty of transcendental frankincense. Comforting warmth is derived from quintessential cedarwood and balsamic sandalwood, while creamy vanilla and a touch of natural Oud create an enduring halo of sophistication and poise.
A refreshing encounter with nature, this fougère fragrance epitomises the vitality of verdant valleys. Lively, crisp and clean, Oud Vert is a signature summer scent with an eminently relaxed composure that renders it perennial. Energetic top notes herald the arrival of zesty Mediterranean bergamot fused with Madagascan ginger and Sri Lankan cardamom. Warming geranium offers balance paired with a skin-synergistic musk that lingers with intent.
Enthused by the idea of scent molecules triggering attractions and impulses, Initio Parfums honours this supernatural yet scientific dimension of fragrance by infusing its creations with a truly unique power. Part of the new Hedonist collection, Rehab is based on sweet yet smoky notes of patchouli and vanilla and a heart of lavender and tobacco for a truly sophisticated finish.

ROUGE ASSASSIN
Floral, woody, musky
A colour can have an odour. This Rouge Assassin perfumes the powdery nuances of a carmine, voluptuously ardent lipstick. A woman’s lipstick, a woman in love who would use it to write a message on a mirror, a fervent declaration or fiery last words, final until tomorrow. Passion, jealousy, vengeance… Love is a hot-blooded killer who leaves behind a criminal trail. As he passes, both women and men succumb.
Rose, ambrette, iris
Notes of Fig offer a fruity impression while Hazelnut adds a delicate touch of sugar. Sweet and herbaceous notes of Immortelle entice him with a fascinatingly rich, sexy, desirable aroma. Heavy yet sweet and fruity floral notes of Ylang Ylang evoke an innocently erotic aura. Gentle, effortless notes of Sandalwood caress this assortment of sweetness, creating an undeniable allure.

Love Tuberose, a new fragrance within The Secret Garden Collection. As the enigmatic love story continues to unfold within the collection, this new romantic and floral fragrance, eloquently evokes the heart’s pleasures and desire reminiscent of Russian literature and classical music.
“In Love Tuberose, I see a woman enraptured by romance with dreams that can only be found in classical Russian arts. A manifestation of passion, hope, and adventure, the fragrance embodies the excitement and mystery of her unfolding love story,” explains Amouage Creative Director, Christopher Chong.
An alluring scent, Love Tuberose blends the warmth of Gardenia, Tuberose, and Jasmine in harmony with a gourmand inflexion of tender notes of Vanilla and Chantilly Cream to create dramatic and heavenly sweetness.

The elegant ivory pastel bottle of Love Tuberose is a true reflection of its floral elements. The now-iconic Amouage silver cap is topped with a light rose Aurore Boreale Swarovski crystal, emulating the luxurious delicacy and sensual endearment that resonates throughout the fragrance.
