INSPIRED BY TOM FORD'S LOVE OF FINE LEATHER, THIS ULTRA-SEXY INTERPRETATION CAPTURES THE PRIMAL, ANIMALISTIC SCENT OF LEATHER AND ITS SMOOTH VOLUPTUOUS QUALITIES. A MODERN CLASSIC, THE ADDITION OF OLIBANUM, NIGHT BLOOMING JASMINE, AND BLACK SUEDE GIVES IT A DISTINCTIVE, MODERN SPIN THAT IS RAW YET REFINED, SENSUAL YET SOPHISTICATED.
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.
This is a perfume composed exclusively of natural essences and inspired by the universal principle of Yin.
The lunar strength of Davana and Ylang-Ylang takes root in the balmy depths of Labdanum and Opoponax.
Lunar and luscious, a velvety, amber perfume that is profoundly carnal.
This is the perfume of Yin.
Mix & Match
Like Yin & Yang, 1/.4 and 1/.5 are interdependent, mutually enhancing one another. Each one brings richness in its own right, and while one unveils Nature’s brute strength, the other unfurls a powerful ethereal and creative energy.
All together they form an olfactive synergy, a circulation of a breath which connects natural to synthetic raws in a delicate and full fragrance, subtle and deep at the same time.
Joyous, sparkling and spontaneous. This irresistible and delicious fragrance is a blend of velvety fruits and pastel flowers, with a sprinkle of vanilla and wood. Cassili is a truly original scent with a radiant sillage designed as a manifesto for new generations of aesthetes. The notorious plum note shapes and refines the eau de parfum, it is anti-conformist, indulgent and lively while at the same time subtle, elegant and classic.
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
orn from the saddle leather of a wild creature
Trailing its powerful fragrance as it passes
Stallion of light with fabulous strength
Created by a god from long ago
Whose power gives glory to his faithful
Exalted adornment like no other
Sancti is symbol of light. A healthy relic, it is sacred protection. A divine dew that illuminates with its purity.
