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.
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.
“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.
Evernia by Ormonde Jayne is a modern take on a classic and is in keeping with our gender-free philosophy. The overall impression is of soft interlacing flowers; lily, freesia, orris and violet, fanned with the unmistakable aroma and tenacity of oakmoss. Moroccan rose adds sweetness and cardamom an intense wave of spice.
Cashmeran, sandalwood and musk give Evernia its underlying softness and sensuality. Wear Evernia on any occasion when you want to feel at your alluring best.

With an exceptional 56% perfume oil concentration, Epic 56 revisits the legends of the Silk Road, uncovering a deeper story of the critically-acclaimed Epic Eau de Parfum. After close to five months of aging, the quality of its signature notes – Rose, Spices, Frankincense and Woods – is accentuated by a deeper and more complex ambery construction, leaving a lasting impression on the senses.
What makes EPIC 56 WOMAN an “Exceptional Extrait”?
A fragrance is usually a mix of a concentrate (containing fragrant oils) and an alcoholic base. Some fragrances can also contain a bit of water and additives like liquid UV filters, stabilizers or colourants. Therefore, fragrances with a higher fragrance concentration contain more perfume oils and less alcohol, and vice-versa.
Usually, a higher perfume oil concentration means an increased performance of the fragrance (particularly longer lasting scent) – but the impact of oil concentration is much more complex and varies depending on each formula.

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.

With Patchouli Ardent, Thierry Wasser, Guerlain’s master Perfumer, has reinvented patchouli, a raw material usually darkly woody and mysterious, in a surprisingly vibrant and bright way. It combines the elegance of Rose with a majestic leather and musks accord to offer a unique sensorial voyage.
PERFUMERS SECRET
Patchouli Ardent is an invitation to a sensorial voyage imagined by Thierry Wasser, a passionate Perfumer and explorer. Dried patchouli leaves radiate a heady, wooded, deeply faceted scent, synonymous with exoticism and extreme refinement. Patchouli is a noble ingredient whose sensual feminine and masculine plumes of fragrance have long billowed across borders, to conquer and enchant the world.
A smoky effect, a divine emotion
An ethereal frankincense leaves only a fleeting mark on this fragrance, while rose imprints its fiery accents. But the endless sweetness and exceptional depth come from authentic and majestic ambergris of New Zealand, specially selected by Thierry Wasser for this fragrance. An enigmatic opus to sing the praises of a world devoted to eternity.
PERFUMERS SECRET
Ambergris gives this fragrance its intense character. Amber is one of the most luxurious raw materials in perfumery. Thierry Wasser used it to create an exceptional communelle by assembling blocks of amber according to their scent (salty, marine, warm, animal) to attain the perfect note. Ideal for men and women alike.

Celestial is an oriental woody floral with a heart of frankincense and exotic roses.
Complex, light and very wearable. The spices and frankincense lend a light oriental tone to the aromatic woody base and the triumvirate of roses featuring Bulgarian rose, Indian rose absolut and Turkish rose.
The olibanum at the heart of this scent is a light, lemony incense with a conifer undertone.
It settles into a light warm woody base with colour and complexity. Luminous, like the heavenly bodies that inspired it.
INSPIRATION
The Romans were keen astronomers naming the planets after gods, and such was their belief in the power and influence of the skies over their destiny that they were also keen devotees of astrology. Inspired by the glittering night skies, this fragrance heavenly, divine and fit for the gods.
