Known for its distinctive scent, AMBERGRIS is even more precious when « aged » as its qualities are enhanced after floating for years under the sun of the Pacific Ocean. AFFINESSENCE has chosen the exceptional quality of this scent, using it generoulsy enough to express its powers of irresistible attraction. While AMBERGRIS diffuses an animal warmth and a mineral freshness, a burst of Black Musk and White Truffle accentuate the « hot and cold » effect, creating a tingling sensation. Yerba Mate, Patchouli and Vetiver from Haiti highlight the exuberant scent of this striking that you’ll want to breathe in until overdose.

7753 stands for the dimensions of Mona Lisa painting for this perfume is not the perfume of an image, nor the mere perfume of a woman past – is the perfume of the woman. It is the scent of an emotion, of this undecipherable glance, of her unexplainable beauty, of her immersive power and her drawing us in. It is the perfume of our own enthrallment. A hidden number for a hidden smile.
A glimmering glance of bright Citruses, the elusive Mona one descries through a sfumato of Vetiver and Galbanum. Voluptuous Tuberose and Heliotrope virtuous.
'Tis a smile alluring with an air of Spices.

Tom Ford Lost Cherry is a full-bodied journey into the once-forbidden; a contrasting scent that reveals a tempting dichotomy of playful, candy-like gleam on the outside and luscious flesh on the inside.
Innocence intersects indulgence with an opening that captures the classic perfection of the exotic cherry fruit, Black Cherry's ripe flesh dripping in cherry liqueur glistens with a teasing touch of Bitter Almond.
The heart bursts forth in cherry waves of sweet and tart. Griotte Syrup expresses the textured maceration of voluptuous fruits while breathtaking florals Turkish Rose and Jasmine Sambac penetrate the senses and soul.
Peru Balsam and Roasted Tonka at the drydown suggest a new portrait of an iconic symbol. When blended with an unexpected melange of sandalwood, vetiver and cedar, the finish reaches fantasy-inspiring levels of insatiability.
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.
An olfactive portrayal of the 1920s bohemian culture, this woody and leather fragrance exudes an air of exquisite audacity.
Top note: Violet leaves
Heart note: Vetiver
Base: Cade (It is from the Juniper family. It is a prickly shrub. The oil distilled from the wood of the shrub gives an incense, smoky tar and leather smell)
WITH ITS ELEGANT AND REFINED HEART OF NATURAL VETIVER SUPERBLY BLENDED WITH SUN-DRENCHED CITRUS, RICH SPICES AND PRIZED WOODS, TOM FORD GREY VETIVER CAPTURES THE ESSENCE OF DEBONAIR, CHARISMATIC AND PROVOCATIVE MASCULINITY.
A refreshing encounter with nature, this fougère fragrance epitomises the vitality of verdant valleys. Lively, crisp and clean, Oud Vert is a signature summer scent with an eminently relaxed composure that renders it perennial. Energetic top notes herald the arrival of zesty Mediterranean bergamot fused with Madagascan ginger and Sri Lankan cardamom. Warming geranium offers balance paired with a skin-synergistic musk that lingers with intent.
Taking on an olfactory family this well known is no mean feat. It’s a testament to Vanina’s originality and creativity that this Ambra is very “Jeroboam”, in other words modern, daring and sensual.

INCIDENT DIPLOMATIQUE
Woody, aromatic
We brush by it, we risk it, without ever thinking about the consequences… Incident Diplomatique clearly possesses its share of superb provocation – bold, owned, and entirely inevitable when desire exudes from our every pore. As unexpected as it is audacious, the fragrance refuses convention and knowingly parades itself. Just as we might give into a staggering impulse too strong to resist, it declares its urges, teasing tension to the breaking point…
Vetiver, mandarine, patchouli

Fragrance Notes & Description
Inspiration: “A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone’s feeling—unintentionally,” the quixotic Oscar Wilde once noted of the elite race of men who are shamelessly, unapologetically themselves and with perfect aplomb. They charm by their character, and please only those who are refined enough to receive them.
Fragrance story: DARK LORD ‘EX TENEBRIS LUX’ is a gentleman of the night. Meet him in the most surprising of circumstances and his mystery slowly unfolds: A head-twisting mix of shadows and light, it seduces in seconds with its elegant, long-lasting accords of leather and strong vetiver, its jasmine drenched in rum, and a dandyish entrance of bergamot and pepper. From darkness, into light.
Key notes: Pepper, Jasmine, Vetiver
Olfactive Family: Smokes – Figurative or abstract, Kilian’s smokes capture the timeless scent of Bakhoor, incense, tobacco.
Perfumer: Alberto Morillas
