J’adoube begins with a whisper of warning. An intriguing sensation engulfs us in an opening of pomegranate, rouge groseille, and mandarin, as the fragrance surges forward in a wave of tantalizing sweetness. Its evolution towards a bold and deep base of leather, patchouli, and ambrostar, brings focus to chaos while remaining wholly spontaneous and free.
Inspiration from Kilian Hennessy: A gourmet pleasure reserved for adults, the iconic Love, don’t be shy is taken to its EXTREME with an overdose of Bulgarian rose.
The Perfume: From the Narcotic Flowers olfactory family, Love, don’t be shy – EXTREME is a pleasure so addictive that sensitive souls are advised to refrain. A variation which highlights the original version, Love, don’t be shy, with a sublime crystallized floral appearance. Orange blossom and an overdose of rose create a luminous elixir that no gourmand can resist. Its rose petals are picked by hand, at dawn, to capture the scent in all its intensity – an artisanal detail allowing you to reach the subconscious.
Perfume Notes:Orange blossom, Overdose of Rose, Marshmallow.
Perfumer: Calice Becker.

This delightful woody amber enters with a fresh and elegant cardamom, lightly laced with plum and pomegranate before opening into a heart of Egyptian jasmine, a fresh, aromatic, clean patchouli and a tint of rose. The light woods of sandalwood and cedar combined with a light musk and amber notes make this a light, sensuous and very versatile scent.
The fresh faced natural beauty of Persephone was free from artifice or evil, her sweet nature and purity of soul was adored by gods, goddesses and humankind. Her playground and purpose was nature, symbolic of spring and summer, she was associated with flowers, harvest, fruit, grain and the beauty and bounty of nature.
This perfume was created with Patchouli of the Underworld as a pair. Two perfumers explore the central note of Patchouli through two lenses of the same story: that of Pluto and his Queen Persephone.
“I used patchouli heart which is a cleaner patchouli note and enriched with musky and ambery textures. On top, I added fresh spicy elements, notably Cardamom from Guatemala. I combined the patchouli character with floral notes of Bulgarian rose. To enhance the fruity part of the rose, I added a note of plum that also goes really well with the warmth of the patchouli. For the floral heart, I used responsibly-sourced jasmine from Egypt for its richness. I added a gourmand twist with honey and a touch of coffee. This is rounded by a creamy facet with sandalwood notes and blond woods. And of course 6 pomegranate seeds.” Christian Provenzano
