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…

A first in perfumery and originating from Kerala, TURMERIC has been used for the first time in a perfume by AFFINESSENCE. A milky note enhances the precious turmeric root, causing an explosion of the delicious spicy aromas of « Turmeric Latte », a beverage that has been drunk for thousands of years in India and also known as Golden Milk. While Myrrh, Sandalwood and Patchouli offer their distinctive scents, a wonderful note of full-grain LEATHER takes over the composition, imposing its powerful animal character. Delicious luxury and sultry sensuality compete with one another in this addictive bouquet with its bold scent.
Eau de parfum, 100 ml natural spray.
With a heavy zamac cap signed AFFINESSENCE and its precious cahsmere pouch to perfume, this eau de parfum is presented in a luxurious black-lacquered wood coffret, with magnetic closure, and a wrapped cardboard box.
EXPLICIT. EXCLUSIVE. FABULOUS.
A DECADENT ORIENTAL LEATHER WITH AN INTOXICATING GRIP CAPTURES A RARIFIED AIR. EVOKING THE PRIVATE EXCHANGES AND INSIDER MOMENTS WHERE FANTASIES COME TRUE, THE SCENT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED IN ONE WAY.
At the fore, an emphatic reinterpretation of rose; pure, streamlined, uncompromisingly modern. Blended with a unique extraction of timut pepper, geranium bourbon and a note of cassis for freshness and spice.
Yet a quiet storm lies beneath: vetiver and cedar forms an earthy bed of dark, mysterious leather with IsoButyl Quinoline at the center – an intensely bitter molecule, largely forgotten since its use in the daring perfumery of the Jazz Age.
At once sparkling and sober, a recognisably floral composition is shadowed by a dramatic, yet controlled sensuality.
Evening in Esperanto
This resolutely masculine extract is dedicated to dandyish urban night owls who were just waiting for their signature perfume to
come along. A fragrance so insidery, finding likeminded spirits who wear it becomes almost a game, a knowing nod among members of the same elite club.

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.

L ART DE LA GUERRE
Fern, aromatic
The end justifies the means. For women and men, the spirit of conquest sometimes leads us down unexpected paths. To win the most worthy of all battles – the game of seduction –, there need to be strategies, sharp tactics and the determined desire, always, to triumph. On a playing field that only men used to enjoy, L’Art de la Guerre shakes up the rules, mixing the nostalgic freshness of fern with the spicy and smoky notes of eternity.
Rhubarb, violet leaf, oakmoss

A rich heart of Jasmine with notes of Orris, Tobacco and Papyrus give’s sensuality and depth. The base is an oriental woody style, rich with Ambers, smoky leather and rich resinous Labdanum, sweetened with a touch of Tonka and Vanilla. Hedonistic reckless abandon awaits…
Mandarin offers a juicy, fresh edge to C Woody Leather. Originated from China where it’s regarded a symbol of good fortune.
Known as “The King of Spices” and “Red Gold” saffron is native to Southeast Asia. The beautiful purple flowers herald the first sign of spring even though it is not harvested until the autumn.
