“There’s a well know Caribbean spice called pimento that has the endearing name of allspice in English. I have always found this name quite curious and for a good reason: when the spice was brought to England, everyone had trouble describing it as it had fragrances of clove, pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg wrapped all together in one!
As a perfumer, I am very fond of spices. They are full of nobility. No wonder why we are always looking for the spice of life!… So I wanted Wilgermain to have a very spicy fragrance in its repertoire. And here it is!
For this fragrance, I wanted to explore this allspice concept using a myriad of different spices that together would deliver a totally new, unknown spice aroma. A special quality of pepper from Nepal brought that extra punch that I was looking for.”
“As an inventor of fragrances, I feel very comfortable working with citrus notes, so, for this composition, I wanted to express my deep love for citrus through an extremely intricate top note that can be described as an anamorphosis of hesperidic notes: the spike of lemons, the elegance of bergamots, the sweetness of oranges, the floral notes of mandarins, the fruitiness of tangerines, all together working in unison.
Also, I always perceive a hint of iris notes (irones) in certain kinds of Mediterranean oranges and that thought took me to anchor this scent with the real deal: ultra pure iris absolute from Florence, bolstered with the best quality vetiver essence. This scent has become one I wear very frequently. I hope you become an addict as well!”
Material is a paradox – through materiality, it evokes immateriality, teaching us to look beyond appearances and to realise that what matters is often unseen; an experience akin to standing in a grove and seeing in the sweltering shade a multitude of textures and manifold hues of wood and leaf and bark; all coming together into one.
Boundless is a burst of joy, a fleeting euphoria, translating the vertical tension that empowers those who want to enclose in their hands the immensity of the world. This ardent and vivacious energy echoes that of sunlight bouncing off the dewy leaves of the jungle, flickering in rays through a flower-studded canopy and grazing rainbow-barked trees before vanishing amongst gnarled and misty-kissed boughs.

Bergamot takes on the fruity notes of blackcurrant, mimosa (with its raspberry and blackberry tones) and jasmine (facets of strawberry, apricot and peach), before slowly melting into the sweetness of a fruity musky accord. Aqua Celestia Cologne forte releases a luminous and crystalline aura and offers a line of flight towards the horizon.

Bergamot from Calabria
Known for its fruity taste in Earl Gray tea, Citrus Bergamia is widely used in perfumery because its top notes signify a sparkling freshness, a kind of “smile” of the perfume. Its essence is obtained by cold expression of the zest of the fruits. Southern Italy is specialized in the cultivation of this citrus fruit which is used in the composition of cologne and in a number of feminine and masculine creations where its fresh, floral and aromatic facets stretch to the heart.

Fragrance story: Rolling in Love is a musc de peau, capturing the sensation of feeling so high on love that it seems to almost “get under the skin.” Working with perfumer Pascal Gaurin, Kilian Hennessy took an entirely new direction. Rolling in Love is more direct and less faceted than his previous fragrances—almost “monochromatic” in its focused representation of a single emotion. Rolling in Love is a “white” scent, layering different textures along the scent’s trail with notes of ambrette seeds, almond milk, iris, and musk.
Key notes: Almond milk, iris, musk.
Olfactive Family: Narcotics – From rose to tuberose, from orange blossom to gardenia… Kilian flowers are composed like a narcotic dependence.
Perfumer: Pascal Gaurin

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.
The embodiment of the confidential nature of the Centifolia Rose (also known as the May or cabbage rose), ROSE MILLESIMÉE is an olfactory metaphor for a moment frozen in time, the reflection of a story, a region and a tradition of craftsmanship. In homage to the Centifolia Rose, this absolute hangs back yet asserts its exceptional character. In Vanina Muracciole’s interpretation of the Rose Centifolia, attention to detail meets a quest for the sublime.
“ For years now, I’ve wanted to reproduce the Centifolia rose without artifice, without a dominant synthetic environment that would make the note consensual. It was about conserving the flower’s natural properties and suggesting comfort.”
To the Grasse region’s native blossom, Vanina Muracciole has added a dash of spices, candied apples, essence of Bulgarian rose and white musc to create a “powerful and carnal soliflore.”
The fruit of nature’s whims and unrivaled, nuanced soil, it tinges each vintage with its signature and patina.
