White and black, good and bad, wisdom and madness, sun and night… Ever since the beginning of time, the fig tree has revealed its magical, luminous and magnetic powers. Yet where, among its astonishing green freshness and its solar sensuality, lies the truth?

AMBRE PREMIER
Oriental
Beware of first impressions… A sweet whisper brings to mind cotton candy – simple innocence, and yet Ambre Premier hides its real intentions and lives up to its name. Grandiose and out to conquer, it tattoos skin with a voluptuous and indelible mark that leaves nothing to chance and even less to weakness. Night time is its preferred domain, passionate nights that are profound and sensual, where the heat of its lingering wake collides with the first light of dawn, as if to better defy the day.

ROUGE ASSASSIN
Floral, woody, musky
A colour can have an odour. This Rouge Assassin perfumes the powdery nuances of a carmine, voluptuously ardent lipstick. A woman’s lipstick, a woman in love who would use it to write a message on a mirror, a fervent declaration or fiery last words, final until tomorrow. Passion, jealousy, vengeance… Love is a hot-blooded killer who leaves behind a criminal trail. As he passes, both women and men succumb.
Rose, ambrette, iris
In the Middle East, a promise made between two people is accompanied by the strictest honor code.
Frédéric Malle celebrates this principle with a promise of his own, whose beating heart is made of two precious varieties of rose: rose essence from Bulgaria and rose absolute from Turkey are lifted by apple, pink pepper and clove, and bound to a sensuous base of patchouli, cypriol and labdanum; an accord as unbreakable, and invisible, as a vow.
Presenting a subtle balance of citrus and aromatic notes on a woody base, this eau de parfum exudes a fresh, sensual and refined scent in an ocean blue bottle that will be remembered. Amongst the top notes, scents of bergamot and mandarin sublimate through a touch of aromatic water to offer a unique combination. The heart notes give Percival its character and depth through a blend of natural jasmine, violet and geranium, overlapping with lavender, coriander and cinnamon. On the skin, musk mixes with pepper, absolute balsam fir and, to give emphasis, woody spices are revealed at the base.
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
VIBRANT. SPARKLING. TRANSPORTIVE.
NEROLI PORTOFINO ACQUA IS AN INVITATION INTO THE SEDUCTIVE ATMOSPHERE OF THE ITALIAN RIVIERA FROM A NEW PERSPECTIVE AFLOAT IN THE COASTLINE’S IDYLLIC AZURE WATERS, WITH ENDLESS SKIES OVERHEAD AND STEEP, VERDANT HILLSIDES JUST WITHIN VIEW. A FRESHER EXPRESSION OF NEROLI PORTOFIN’S CLEAR AND SPARKLING FACETS, IT IS AN IRRESISTIBLY LIGHT WAY TO WEAR THE FRAGRANCE’S CITRUS-AND-AMBER SIGNATURE.
Consider perfume a portrait of its wearer: the sound of her voice, her gaze, the way she plays cards. At once timeless and resonant with today, here is a scent that speaks of her innate sophistication. Charm that emanates from within, boldly depicted without; an expressive portrayal of modern grace.
At the fore, an exuberant dose of Turkish rose — 400 flowers per 100ml bottle, no less. Beneath, a bed of patchouli heart imbued with sandalwood and frankincense. An accord of clove, blackcurrant and raspberry binds the perfume together for a final characterful brushstroke.
Depths of black.
Composed like a Rothko painting, where layer upon layer of somber notes form a deeper, more textured darkness. A thick coating of spices rests on a wooden base of sandalwood and patchouli; top notes of orange and geranium are subtly illumined by rose, which, like all masterful paintings, reveal that even darkness is made of light.
Unafraid of the dark.
Top notes: orange; geranium,
At a party on Paris’ rive gauche, a woman’s fur coat is lifted from her bare shoulders, exposing her neck to the candlelight. Aware of many eyes upon her, she pauses, smiling to herself, before emerging like a conqueror from the shadows.
A sensuous body of lavender is warmed by patchouli, amber and vanilla, and transformed by notes of pineapple and mandarin.
