Aquila Absolute is a bright and wearable scent with universal appeal. This perfume created for men and women, is uplifting and empowering, shining bright through all seasons and occasions.
The vibrant fresh and fruity top notes of raspberry and cardamom dazzle like a bolt of lightning before revealing an irresistibly fierce floral heart of the finest LMR natural oils. The heart of Turkish Rose Absolute blends spicy honey like rose accords with spicy Egyptian geranium and the herbaceous, leathery Violet Leaf LMR. The heart unfolds into a warm, luxurious, sensuous, woody amber base: a complex of white oud, patchouli and labdanum.
The Trilogy of Skin Waters pays homage to the noblest animal notes. After the power of Peau de Bête and the gentleness of Belle Bête,
this latest opus invites us to follow a man through his quest for nature.
A man who has become wild through his withdrawal from the urban world, his journey to the center of the scents of nature, his immersion in the forest make him a green adventurer, a Human Beast in love with chestnut trees.

Inspired by the citiy of Paris, KILIAN PARIS introduces its new addition to the Liquors olfactive family: L’Heure Verte, an olfactive soundtrack to nightlife’s liberation to come. L’Heure Verte is named after the traditional French equivalent of ‘Happy Hour’, that early evening window of time when absinthe was served upon sugar into a glass and swirled with a spoon in a slow-paced ritual. The liquid turns pastel green; this hue reappears in L’Heure Verte’s own perfume elixir, an entirely naturally derived color: tender like a Parisian haze, or a Van Gogh painting come to life.
The Perfume:
Absinthe essence opens L’Heure Verte with an instant head twist into a nostalgic heart of violet leaf and licorice root absolute. Its dry-down articulates a unique and precisely chosen facet of patchouli that resonates throughout, and blends into a trio of earthy woods along with vetiver and sandalwood. A first-time collaboration between Founder Kilian Hennessy and French perfumer Mathieu Nardin, L’Heure Verte expresses Paris at its best—indulgent and life-changing in its luxuries and wonderful illusions.
Perfume notes:
Absinthe, Violet Leaf and Patchouli
With this reinterpretation, the two creators offer a dive into the most sensual character of B683, an immersion at the heart of this perfume and its signature: the warmth and the depth of a woody-leathery accord. Here, it gains another intensity to become an authentic “patchouli leather.” Around that, other notes of the composition sublimate the different facets of this matter with tactile sensuality. Pepper and cumin offer the vibration of their spicy accents, the oud wood enhances the density of then accord while the vanilla brightens it with a caressing roundness…

On the skin, B683 EXTRAIT marries the one who wears it as a double that underlines its presence.
Ultimate Rose is not a true single flower but a unique and complex scent using the finest rose essences combined with beautiful notes of eastern neroli and orange flower to impart an oriental touch. Lingering in the background; a woody, amber accord to give it sensuality and mystery so that you can ultimately fall in love with this unique combination.
Incorporates top notes of Sicilian Bergamot, Baies Rose, Cassis, together with a warm and sensual note of Rose de Mai, Orris, and Violet leave. The base of Cypriol, Indian sandalwood, Tonka beans, Vanilla, and Amber add a sweet and powdery woody character.
Floral Citrus Ambery
“I like observing flowers bloom, expand and exhale their last breaths. I can say that just like some people are bird watchers. I am a bloom watcher. My love for flowers is infinite, as I’m a botanist and I am Mexican (in my country, we love flowers way too much!) So for this symphonic floral perfume, I blissfully orchestrated my floral parts and pieces thinking of the natural life cycle of a flower: from the closed bud to its eclosion, its magnificent turgescence, its nocturnal exhalations, its languid fading away… and then the petals landing softly on the ground, exhausted but still redolent.
A very specific tuberose extract paired with a new quality of jasmine from Southern China provided the heart for this scent and the palpitations come from fine citrus essences and natural leafy accents. And just at the end, a hint of humanity appears, as an ambery, warm oriental accord works as a pedestal for this multifloral beauty.”
This new perfume is a tribute to the seductive souls who each have their own rituals of preparation. The slow, measured method of dressing. The make up, the rice powder… these are all a prelude to seduction. And even if their gestures are different and their secrets proper, they all share a common ritual: their ‘final touch’ is the application of perfume.
Touche Finale is a reinterpretation of a perfume that has already left it’s mark in the history of the rebirth of Jovoy: 2006’s renowned Poudré.
After more than two years of work, the independent perfumer, Vanina Muracciole has managed to preserve the soul of the original Poudré, whilst exalting it, in this new, ultimate version.
At Frapin, we work and live far from the major cities. Our personal and professional lives follow the circadian rhythm of days and nights, the changing of the seasons, the wind blowing in the trees.
This closeness to nature sustains us more than one might think. We model nature and are modelled by it, surrounded as we are by meadows, vines, rivers and woods.
This proximity is the hallmark of our style, our essence, our elegance. We admire wood, work it, drink it and smell it. This wood is our age-old wisdom. We listen to its lessons and secrets. Its verticality shows us the only way forward, that of ascending. It is at times hot, enveloping, aromatic or deep. It strongly underscores our style; that of Bois Blanc.

FLORAL
Encapsulating a unique essence like no other, Amouage’s mimosa facets are sublimed with rare ingredients that lighten up this flower. Mimicking the mimosa hills of Tanneron, in the South of France, the fragrance’s top notes open with an aquatic tone accented by Violet Leaves and Cascalone. In its heart, Love Mimosa is painted with a creamy and powdery finish together with Orris and Heliotrope. Pear adds a juicy sweetness with a subtle fruity aroma that is both light and modern. Ylang Ylang together with Ambrox in the base projects a subtle sensuality together with strength and individuality. The fragrance’s soft and velvety trail leaves an unforgettable memory.
The perfume of an oneiric reality For this new opus, the duo has not changed, nor the creative osmosis between Marc-Antoine Barrois and Quentin Bisch, but the destination is elsewhere. Creating an elegant and unexpected harmony around a quartet of mandarin, violet, immortelle and suede, the two fellow artists have dreamt of this new planet: Ganymede, the rocky satellite of Jupiter discovered in 1610 by Galileo, is both luminous and covered with salt-water oceans. It acquired its name from Greek mythology: a young man, Ganymede, was kidnapped by gods who had been so enthralled by his beauty that he was offered immortality.
Composed by perfumer Quentin Bisch, Ganymede once again makes use of the suede-leathery notes that had made B683 a beautiful classic. This time though, the artists emancipated from traditional codes to take us somewhere else, towards aluminous and fluid elegance. Those leather notes become softer, gaining lightness and gentleness in contact with the fragrance of violet. The mandarin smell brings its full vivacity and its acidic essence. The latter gives the tone and verticality of the fragrance from the very start. Yet opposing it, the immortelle is its counterpoint and raises the scented harmony with its double-sided fragrance, at times mineral, at other times salty. The entire composition plays with contrasts and oppositions.
The notes answer one another in a permanent conversation drawing a new olfactory map on the skin, on the revers of a cashmere jacket, or even right there, next to the buttons of the sleeves, on the wrist. If it could be summed up into one single image, it would be a compass : north for the zested liveliness of the mandarin to which the south would answer with the everlasting flower and to highlight this olfactory frame, the density of suede notes on the west would balance the subtle and delicate florality of the violet on the east. Those are four directions for a perfumed journey to a new imaginary world and new codes of elegance. The notes of this eau de parfum are, at the top : Mandarina from Italy essence heart Orpur, safran ; at the heart : violet, Chinese osmanthus absolute Orpur ; at the base Akigalawood and Immortelle absolute.
The fragrances of the Maison MARC-ANTOINE BARROIS are the result of the meeting of two young designers. One is a couturier, the other a perfumer. Their childhood memories brought them together. Remembering captivating smells; of the leather from an elegant attaché case or an immaculate desk blotter; of the distinct smells of wood during the regular gather-ring of fuel to warm the family home. The artistic skills of the former and the olfactory talent of the latter together sparked the magic of these beautiful fragrances. The perfumes and candles are made in France.
