Inspiration: On turbulent seas, an inescapably transient pirate ship braves black waters, leagues deep in mystery. Black Phantom “Memento Mori” reveals its hidden treasures to the curious nose in waves.
Fragrance story: Rum accord from Martinique, akin to ‘pirates water’, spikes the scent of strong coffee at its heart, balanced by vetiver essence. A deadly bite of cyanide accord hides menacingly, like the smile from death itself. Smile back as sugar cane and dark, creamy sandalwood assures a trying journey holds a sweet reward.
An initial impression of innocence and flower-shop freshness disperses to reveal a more lustful tuberose: these dark and spicy notes surrender in turn to ones of milky comfort, enhanced by white musk, to draw out tuberose’s aura of lingering sensuality.
Erotic flower.
Carnal Flower contains by far the highest concentration of natural tuberose in the perfume industry.
A wave of freshness bathes the skin – Carlisle is the embodiment of light. Sunny and radiant, this sensual fragrance is built around a sandalwood theme that is warm, with a hint of vanilla, whilst both soothing and rich. The clear, seductive top notes of crisp green apple, warming nutmeg and golden saffron unearth the scent to an elegant heart of rose, tonka bean, osmanthus and davana. The perfume narrative is concluded by a base of vanilla, patchouli and opoponax resinoid – an olfactory for fragrance connoisseurs and lovers of niche fragrances.
A white floral fragrance inspired by the tragic predicament of Madame Butterfly. In honour of truth and beauty, her poetic love and sorrow echo eternally.

The Scoop
The concept of “sacred geometry, ” the inspiration behind Oud For Greatness, is that recurring symbols and motifs- including the sacred scent of oud- are so powerful and holy that they are imbued with these hidden connections to the world at large, transcending the material plane to align those who smell it with the vibrations of the universe. In other words, experiencing the true scent of oud is a tonic for physical, emotional, and spiritual health. With Oud For Greatness, Initio taps into that hidden source of power, delivering a vibrant, sensual, richly spicy fragrance deeply imbued with oud from beginning to end. It’s a highly concentrated blend of pure, natural agarwood oil and natural oud wood, a rich accord that melds the dark, spicy, sweet, and smoky characteristics of this precious substance into an impossibly complex elixir, both energetic and contemplative, narcotic and seductive. An additional burst of savory spice comes by way of a rich blend of saffron and nutmeg, while bright lavender pushes it towards the sexy and masculine- though make no mistake, this scent is devastatingly sexy on men and women alike. While it might seem inexact to say that a fragrance offers something for everyone, we don’t know how else to describe Oud For Greatness- we suppose a perfume this in tune with the hidden patterns of the world ought to smell this downright incredible.

The remote holiday of Tom Ford Soleil traverses from Courchevel to Megeve, inspiring Soleil Neige. The new Private Blend, alive with radiance and light-reflective ethereality, mimics the serene shimmer of sun on snow.
The bright opening of Bergamot and Carrot Seed mirrors the winter light, the cool reflection of the sun transforming everything in sight to a blanket of glacial white.
The floral heart looks to the iridescent sky, blooming with pale petal shades of ivory and rose. The fresh green petals of Jasmine Grandiflorum, addictive Orange flower and the transparent white floralcy of Karmaflor Captive blends white blooms with the rich warmth of Turkish Rose.
The drydown melts onto skin with the wood and honey undertones of Cistus Labdanum and skin-gripping musk as the resinous dimension of Benzoin and creamy Vanilla finish with sun-kissed warmth.

A MODERN CLASSIC, THE ADDITION OF OLIBANUM, NIGHT BLOOMING JASMINE, AND BLACK SUEDE GIVES IT A DISTINCTIVE, MODERN SPIN THAT IS RAW YET REFINED, SENSUAL YET SOPHISTICATED.
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 Scent: From the olfactory family of Narcotic Flowers, Love, don’t be shy – EXTREME is such an addicting pleasure that sensitive souls are urged to refrain. A variation that underlines the original version, Love, don’t be shy, with a sublime crystallized floral aspect. Orange blossom and rose overdose make up a luminous elixir that no gourmet can resist. Its rose petals are hand-picked at dawn to capture the scent in all its intensity – an artisan detail that reaches the subconscious.
The Love, don’t be shy EXTREME fragrance is part of the KILIAN PARIS Narcotic Flowers family of fragrances.
Great care is taken in each KILIAN PARIS perfume bottle, to make them real precious objects. The white and gold perfume bottles of the narcotic flower family are adorned with a white lacquer and meticulously engraved on each side, with a motif interweaving door, snake, vine and apple – the symbols of original sin – allusion to fate. As Kilian Hennessy points out: “In perfumery, it is as much about seduction as it is about protection”. A golden metal plate on which is hand-engraved the name of the perfume brings an additional touch of sophistication.
KILIAN pushes two of its heritage fragrances to their olfactive extremes.
Kilian Hennessy’s Inspiration : Take the uninhibited whirlwind of flowers in Good girl gone Bad and envelope it in a luscious, milky facet.
The Perfume: It opens with a pink and white bouquet of roses of May, and the most beautiful orange blossoms carried by the song of three sirens, calling from its core: tuberose, Egyptian jasmine sambac, and narcissus. These exquisite flowers are wrapped in a milky toffee elixir, making them half-innocent, half-voluptuous, and now—a delicious temptress altogether.
Inspired by the ROJA customer, 51 is the scent of the quintessential uptown girl. With an eye for the the finest jewellery and a nose for the finest fragrances, living luxuriously is the only way she knows. A masterfully-crafted example of understated opulence, 51 is expertly-tailored to fit the woman who has it all. With an air of effortless grace she glides toward her personal playground – The Burlington Arcade.
ENIGMA is a scent for the kind of woman who doesn’t just grab people’s attention but holds it. She has an air about her that can stop you in your tracks. Do you know her from somewhere or does she just have that certain “it” factor?
Across a crowded room, an elusive beauty appears deep in thought. Half-illuminated by rays of golden sunlight, half shrouded in shadow, one becomes hypnotized by her silhouette. A second glance, a stolen look… it’s never appropriate to stare, so hungry glances are flickered her way. Where is she from and what is she plotting? Like the light playing off her jewellery, there’s a glint in her eye – A certain je ne sais quoi is at play, that could turn your world upside down.
