BUDDHA BLEND A tribute to nature’s generosity—an ode to a fruit that unfolds like an open hand, offering its gifts with abundance. This refined and delicate gourmand creation merges two distinct souls. The radiant juiciness of yuzu, intensified by a luminous medley of sweet citrus, meets a base that is both dense and ethereal. Here, the opulence of velvet orchid intertwines with the soft, enveloping sweetness of vanilla and tonka bean, creating a scent that is as comforting as it is exquisite.
The fragrance shines with two exclusive innovations in modern perfumery: an incandescent black lacquer accord that captures a smoky, dimensional opulence, and a Makassar ebony wood note that evokes aspects of leather and birch. Beneath the glossy surface blooms the irrepressible mystery of a dark peony accord.
Grand Master strikes swiftly as the softness transforms into unmatched strength. Opening notes of exquisite florals soar willfully while rich and energizing coffee notes, mingle with the spicy seduction of incense, myrrh, and dark wood. The flawless harmony of power and tenderness astonish the senses, awakening the knowledge of our own divine potential.
Deep, dark, and dense, the rare Ebony wood is finely textured and has a luxurious, multi-layered grain. When empowered, it shines with a lacquered reflection. Against the elegance of Ebony, the delectable and bittersweet character of Cocoa absolute entraps the wood in sweet & intriguing earthiness.
The sumptuous obscurity of the renowned Ebony wood is modernized with an elegant addicting thread of Cocoa & precious spices.
Yves Cassar decided to resurrect the precious Ebony wood, paying homage to this rare & prized ingredient. He used its multi-layered characteristic to transform it into a gilded wood.
To preserve its dark & elegant nuance, he perfectly harmonized the ingredient with bittersweet nuances, resulting in a luscious & luxurious scent.
PAVILLON ROUGE
Woody, oriental
As daylight starts to decline, a schooner is busy readying itself to dock. It’s distinctive lines leave no doubt to the sharpened eye of an onlooker. “This one must be a privateer…” mumble the old people assembled in the port as they gaze across at the looming warship; “he must have made a mistake, docking here!” As the wind rises there can be no more ambiguity for a Jolly Roger slams into view and whistles a Memento Mori that reminds us that life is fragile, so we must live it well. But here the skull and crossbones are emblazoned on a red flag, meaning a short but good life is better!
Sucked in by the promises of the amber and vanilla aromas of rum and whiskey, a buccaneer rushes out onto the dock and blends into the crowd for a fleeting moment of tranquility during his overnight stopover. He knows that his proud ship will be gone before dawn. Disappeared completely, leaving only a trail of exotic spices and the precious woods of the treasures that fill his holds alongside the promise he made to an elegant woman to return one day “provided God gives her life”.
A perfume of conquest and adventure, Pavillon Rouge is an ode to life. It invites conquering both day and night, without any fear and with the confidence of those who have braved death for some long-lost fortune or legendary glory.
Whisky, leather, ebony
A classic perfume that keeps its sensuous femininity enclosed in a sober shape.
A concealed satin lining of iris, musk and tonka bean is trimmed by cool, synthetic aldehydes for an aura of serene formality. Vetiver introduces a further quality of crisp chic, while decorative notes of rose, violet and ylang-ylang remind a stranger to see the woman beyond the surface.
