One summer night, in a suite at New York’s Chelsea Hotel. Red rose petals litter the floor and cigar smoke fills the air. Miles Davis plays the trumpet, while two Andalucian flamenco dancers move to the beats of tango. Strains of music were spilling onto the hot street below, dirty with deep soul and as smooth as velvet.
Top notes: Bergamot, Elemi.
Heart notes: White leather, Labdanum.
Base notes: Patchouli fraction, Papyrus.
PISTACHIO COUSIN A bold hybrid inspired by the Tree of Life, balancing sharp freshness with creamy richness. This fragrance begins as a sparkling, green blend before evolving into a gourmand delight, enriched by the nutty facets of pistachio, hazelnut, and almond. At its heart lies the unexpected depth of black lemon—created by curing citrus in salted water—bringing a unique twist to the vibrant juiciness. Milky, sweet, and caramelized nuances soften the intensity, while Earl Grey tea, along with the delicate essence of lemon and orange blossoms and leaves, adds a refined breath of freshness. The base is rooted in woody notes with incense-like vibrancy, evoking the textured bark of this imaginary tree
CEDRAT TONIC A vibrant cocktail of energy and zest, designed to awaken the senses with an electrifying freshness. This fragrance opens with the crisp sharpness of juniper, the effervescence of delicate bubbles, and the tangy bitterness of grapefruit. At its heart, a refreshing fusion of citron mint, ginger, and jasmine buds adds depth, while rosemary gently tempers the sweetness. The base unfolds with a cool, invigorating blend of musks and amber woods, delivering a final burst of pure vitality.
An olfactory expression of the value of time. Crafted through a revolutionary process: a double-infusion with sandalwood and artisanal oakwood barrels.
Each fragrance is highly concentrated, containing 30% pure perfume oils, and underwent a meticulous six-month aging process, including a double infusion with sandalwood chips and oakwood barrels, resulting in a deep, layered scent experience. Housed in an original, refillable bottle – the first new design introduced by Amouage in 15 years – the Essences represent a pinnacle of olfactory artisanship.
Outlands by Cécile Zarokian
The edge of imagination. Uncharted mysteries. A dance with the unknown.
Outlands is an invitation to journey into the beyond. The opening note of the composition is unexpectedly light-hearted: an invigorating array of bright citruses, emphasised by zesty lemon. However, as the voyage continues, the landscape becomes more remote and more extraordinary. A rich, multi-faceted patchouli – projecting heat, humidity and verdancy in equal measure – compels the intrepid traveller to move deeper into the cryptic landscape. Finally, an amber accord – reverberating with the potency of balsams and resins – entices a progression to the ultimate encounter, where we find ourselves reflected and remade.
As indescribable as it is familiar, Outlands makes use of extraordinary contrasts between light and shade to capture the ever-shifting inevitability of the future.
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.
Spice D’Arno by Celine Barel
“Comforting and soothing spices flowing with the rhythm of the Arno river.”
Soothing, flowing, comforting
Spice D’Arno is a rhythmical composition which moves like the flow of the river for which it is named. Opening with the invigorating tones of bergamot, lemon and pink pepper, Spice D’Arno evokes the lively energy of a new adventure about to begin. The scent gently meanders its way into a sophisticated heart bursting with thyme and cistus, softened with a comforting and soothing bran absolute. The cistus pays homage to the tenacity of the Roman adventurers, adding a floral, sweet and woody tone to the warmth of bran and the leathery savoury aspect of thyme.
In the base of Spice D’Arno a ribbon of sweetness comes in the form of excitingly resinous vanilla which is warm and embracing. This is strengthened and supported by a leathery feel. A discrete yet mighty oud facet completes the composition, lending power and weight to the fragrance and ensuring the lasting power to stay the course.
INSPIRATION
The Arno river was one of Italy’s most important waterways in Roman times. The flow of the river brought with it new ideas as well as trade, goods and movement of the population. In Spice D’Arno we celebrate the new horizons that the Romans pioneered and the trade routes they established which allowed them to move goods and ideas across the Empire. Some of the commodities the Romans transported included spices, leathers and woods, all of which can be found in this soothing composition which flows with the eternal energy of this mighty river.
Scholar’s Mate is an ode to partnership and is sparkling with promise. Cardamom leaf and grapefruit with powdery orris melts into a foundation of smooth and creamy sandalwood, rounded and completed by the elegance and vitality of vetiver. Subtle notes of smoke nod to the spark of energy that transpires when partners, companions, friends, and lovers come together in the spirit of collaboration.
The heart is indeed a powerful symbol of life and love. The heart has been associated with love, passion, emotion and romance for centuries, with Cupid’s arrow piercing the heart being a well-known image in art and literature. The heart is the source of our deepest emotions and desires, or that it is the place where our truest self resides. me du Cur love, the soul of the heart. Precious as a ruby, explosive as a bomb and bold as spice.
“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.
A tale of trying and reaching, of life overcoming shade, Search captures the virile energy of resilient minds unafraid to fight their inner darkness to become their ideal self.
CITRUSES WITHIN BURNING WOODS
It is at first a flash of Lemon, insanely vibrant and bright, striking like lightning in the middle of the night. Fluttering notes of Lime, lively and shrill, soon come forth, welded into the metallic zing of Mandarin, its leathery zest and bittersweetness.
Shackled in a cage of dark woods, the Citrus fight with a newfound strength, their light shining brighter as delicate notes of Elemi and a heavenly touch of Hojari Frankincense burst open.
Even as the smoke rises and crashes in waves of burnt Cade, spicy Guaiacwood and incandescent Vetiver, the Citrus bouquet carries its brilliance proud, undefeated, and undimmed.

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.
