This luxurious amber oriental perfume is sensuous, soft and delightful with a resinous base.
The sparkling and piquant top notes of bergamot, pink pepper and cardamom are a fleeting pleasure, before the sensuous, velvety, buttery, powdery floral and ambergris heart envelops you. The oriental base of caramel, tonka, vanilla and the spicy smoky oud and cedar finally reveal a darker promiscuity. This scent is irresistibly sensuous on the skin and exudes luxury, seduction and charm.
INSPIRATION
The god Mercury was Messenger to the gods, as famous for his quick intellect, guile and charm as for his dark side: he was fickle, untrustworthy, promiscuous and the collector of souls to the underworld. He ruled wealth and fortune; commerce and fertility; science and medicine; and finally storytelling – from writers and poets to rascals and conmen! The most popular of the gods, Mercury was adored for his irresistible charm and wit and the inspiration for this sensuous and seductive scent.
Take a romantic walk through palace gardens with this indulgent sensual creamy floral.
It opens in a sunny aromatic citrus grove bursting with mandarin, bergamot, neroli and grapefruit and then wanders into a heady cloud of violet and white flowers lying on a seductive soft powdery base.
This lightly oriental floral aldehyde is opulent, soft and romantic.
INSPIRATION
Roman orator and statesman Cicero condemned to death a group of conspirators plotting to overthrow him with the chilling understatement “Vixere” – to have lived.
This extravagant seductive scent celebrates life with its joie de vivre.
A scent that hesitates between flower and wood, between the masculine and the feminine, to find its perfect balance marrying both, in an explosion of light, radiance and mystery. Bergamot, mandarin, iris, rose, neroli, woods and a touch of amber… Ultimate chic revisited by the sunshine of the Côte d’Azur…
Fragrance story: Rolling in Love is a musc de peau, capturing the sensation of feeling so high on love that it seems to almost “get under the skin.” Working with perfumer Pascal Gaurin, Kilian Hennessy took an entirely new direction. Rolling in Love is more direct and less faceted than his previous fragrances—almost “monochromatic” in its focused representation of a single emotion. Rolling in Love is a “white” scent, layering different textures along the scent’s trail with notes of ambrette seeds, almond milk, iris, and musk.
Key notes: Almond milk, iris, musk.
Olfactive Family: Narcotics – From rose to tuberose, from orange blossom to gardenia… Kilian flowers are composed like a narcotic dependence.
Perfumer: Pascal Gaurin

RUBIKONA was made by Cécile Zarokian in Paris. The creation of this perfume started with the word RUBIKONA that combines the deep and warm colour red of a RUBY with the timeless beauty of an ICON.
RU BI KO NA … Four distinct sounds that together form their own small symphony. Much like a perfectly cut RUBY that fascinates by the various shades of red and intensities of light. Puredistance Rubikona is a deep, warming perfume with a gracious, warm heart – safely embedded in deep blue satin. Elegance in every vein, in line with the sophisticated character of Puredistance. Rubikona is ‘Chic Inside Out’.
The quest for an eternal feminine, recognizable quality of major classics, inspired the creation of féminin Pluriel, a grand floral bouquet. A beautiful creation composed of a multitude of facets, designed to evolve with freedom and sensuality, unbound from fleeting fashions.

A refined, elegant and timeless Eau de Parfum for women. Eau du Soir evokes a stroll through the gardens of Alcazar in Seville, in Spain, at dusk, when the Syringa flower exhales its fragrance. A refined fragrance, combining the freshness of citrus with the sensuality of florals, highlighted by an elegant chypre signature. It’s love at first sight between Mandarin and sun-drenched Grapefruit. The intense absolute of Rose and delicate Jasmine boldy respond to the bewitching notes of Syringa and Ylang-ylang.

Born from the whim of a whipping desert wind
Buried treasure laid bare by a hot scented breeze
Salty crystal petals baptized with dew
Liquid spark with delicately spicy hints
Its unique perfume is equaled only by its rarity
Queen of the dunes forever nourished by its boldness
JUS INTERDIT
Woody, spicy, oriental
Sometimes too much isn't enough. In matters of sensuality, excess can never be exaggerated. In the great Oriental tradition, Jus Interdit plays the sorcerer and toys with the limits of decency, daring to defy propriety by invoking generous proportions of oud, patchouli, cedar and benzoin. A sumptuous mukhallat dedicated to 21st Century princes and princesses, overtly solar, immensely opulent, infinitely addictive.
