A radiant aura and yet, an impalpable softness.

A radiant aura and yet, an impalpable softness. This elegant floral-musky-woody fragrance created by Julien Sprecher is a unique play on codes, materials and subtle contrasts. An evocation of the skin caressed by a veil of cotton. Fresh top notes as bergamot, mandarin and sweet white peach, lead to a blend of white flowers, settling on musk and ambrofix sensual base notes.
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.
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.
Light it and realise this is the most beautiful scented candle for the festive season. Inspired by fireplaces, open log fires, pine cones, cedar wood and embers.
Christine d’Ornano invited her long-time friend, Franco-American artist Sydney Albertini, to once again decorate the bottle of this iconic fragrance. Eau de parfum evening water 100ml “Sydney Albertini is inspired by her series of twenty abstract figures and faces drawn in charcoal on brown paper, the theme of which is ” revealing more by hiding.”
Feminine motifs follow their movement, concealing and revealing the body in all its complexity. The power of lines and color oscillates between abstraction and figuration, giving this work striking energy and emotion. A refined Eau de Parfum, the iconic Sisley fragrance combines the freshness of citrus fruits with the dazzling sensuality of flowers, underlined by an elegant chypre signature.
Uncompromising, bold, filled with enigmatic charm.
Based on master perfumer Maurice Roucel’s personal cologne, Uncut Gem is an unapologetically manly scent, diamond-hard and absolutely fresh. Clear, spicy top notes of ginger, bergamot, mandarin, angelica root and nutmeg lead you to the sensual fire within: a leathery accord, vetiver, frankincense, generous amounts of amber, and a musk that vibrates with the skin. This is a scent that plays with the tired codes of masculinity while extracting their telluric force to create something beautiful and irresistible.
Maurice Roucel started his career as a chemist at Chanel’s Fragrance Laboratory in 1973. A self-taught perfumer who describes himself as “an explorer wandering amidst formulas”, his style is that of a sensuous aesthete and his signature is generous composition, in which he retains only what is essential.
THE STORY: The 8th fragrance in Thameen’s unique ‘Treasure’ Collection, ‘Green Peal’ is inspired by the ‘Yemengzhu’, the legendary luminous Chinese ‘pearls’ of green fluorite. This naturally phosphorescent mineral which literally glows in the dark is found only in China and is the most valuable in the world, highly prized by the Chinese as just touching it is said to bring health, great prosperity and good luck! As hard and rarer than the finest grade diamonds, the largest green pearl is 1.6 meters in diameter and valued at 3.1 billion dollars!
THE FRAGRANCE: ‘Green Pearl’ opens with a biting green note of apple set aglow by bright citrus accords of mandarin, neroli and bergamot. At the heart, green leaves, soft and rain-soaked part to reveal green tea and the bitter-vert of Artemisia, further animated by a dusting of pepper. At the base, lustrous tonka sits atop oak moss and the ambery gleam of musk. ‘Green Pearl’ is vivid olfactory gem infused with verdant incandescence. It is eminently wearable and will cut effortlessly through heat and humidity with an energising, cleansing radiance.
“Sapphire with its rich blue colours is the most precious of gemstones. The Royal Sapphires adorn the Imperial State Crown and Sceptre used for British State Occasions and on display in the Tower of London.
Bergamot and Mandarin Blossom are signature notes. The citrus freshness blends well with Jasmine, Patchouli, Amber and Dry Wood to create an opulent, long-lasting scent. This mesmerising perfume epitomises the splendour of the Royal Sapphires.”
The Fragrance
Royal Sapphire opens with a dazzling array of floral notes that rest comfortably on a warm bed of amber. The dry down is both electrifying and surprising: it turns fresh and vibrant with citrus fruits and sweet jasmine before sensual moss and dry woods take us into a dense forest on a hot summer’s night at the edge of a bustling city.
This is dark, carnal and animalic: a patchouli with a musky sexuality, power, opulence. It captures the raw passion of Pluto, the darkness of the underworld; as well as the opulence of the hidden treasures of his kingdom, such as precious gems, minerals and glittering metals held deep within the earth’s core.
INSPIRATION
Pluto’s plight was to rule the UNDERWORLD: the final destination for the dead but also DEEP EARTH the place of riches and opulence abundant with precious jewels, oil, minerals and resources and the earth necessary for a bountiful harvest. Brother to the King of the Gods Jupiter, PLUTO was a powerful and magnetic personality.
This perfume was created with Persephone’s Patchouli as a pair. Two perfumers explores the central note of Patchouli through two lenses of the same story: that of Pluto and his Queen Persephone.
PERFUMER’S NOTES
“The idea was to build a black patchouli, with a furry texture as black as the panther.
It starts with pink and black pepper blended with citruses (bergamot and mandarin) to create a fresh dark top note enhancing the camphor notes of patchouli. I played with a suede leather accord of mate absolute, birch and a smoky twist with cade and rich smoked precious woods to create a synergy between resins and woods and strengthen the character of musk.
I softened that with a blend of cistus, labdanum extracts and other amber materials to give the furry and smooth signature. Bits of carnation (spicy rose character) and other floral elements are enriching the fragrance to give it depth and structure.” Kévin Mathys
Solstis is a midsummer night’s dreamtime – that’s the one where they wear masks and run around in fields switching lovers. It’s witchy and magical, in a hot, Eyes Wide Shut kind of way.
Summer or winter, our magical Solstis is the lovers’ ultimate accessory.
A scent for all seasons, Solstis is the story of the intimate relationship between the two annual solstices of the sun. It speaks of an unbreakable but transformational bond in the guise of a powerful and aromatic fragrance. Opening with citrus notes of mandarin and bergamot, this elegant fragrance conjures up sultry summers of amour and adoration. A hint of spicy pink pepper laced with fruity vibes lends a rosy, romantic nuance.
The heart notes herald the end of the summer with earthy spices and zesty white florals intertwining like lovers and giving way to autumnal nutmeg, neroli and cardamom. The romance endures as Japanese vetiver mimics the intense aroma of fertile woods after a tropical downpour. Delicate milky green notes are delivered by sensual sandalwood and a dash of vanilla as this coupling heads towards the winter, joined in passion and stronger in unity.
A gourmand, floral and fruity fragrance designed entirely as a variation on texture. A mille-feuille of flaky sweetness, softness, and sensuality. A sparkling and juicy opening of mandarin and Italian bergamot with a joyful orange blossom flower and blackcurrant heart leads to a flimsy delight of marshmallow and airy sweetness of Chantilly cream that are addictive. The ambrette and musk base notes add a carnal touch to the composition. A glowing delight.
On the skin, the noblest ingredients in perfumery unite with groundbreaking molecules in the exaltation of a deep pink bouquet, like its bottle. Chantilly cream, a signature note, brings softness and gourmandise. They say that the famous ‘milk cream’ was whipped up by Procopio, the inventor of gelato, in honor of the prince and future king Louis XV at another grand French castle – Chantilly. True to its passion for the 18th century, Marly has reinvented this very cosmetic note. Oriana, the story of a heroine with character and a hypnotic sillage.
An intriguing top note that combines Angelica, Mandarin, Bergamot, and Petitgrain together with a heart of Rose, Jasmin, and Heliotrope. This sits on a warm base of Vanilla, Incense, Amber, Musk, Rock Rose, and Brown Sugar.
