To showcase this exceptional marriage, AFFINESSENCE has combined two types of VANILLA (Tahitian Vanilla Absolute, intensely fragranced with leather overtones and the sweet scent of Madagascan Vanilla Absolute) and blended them with an exquisite alter ego: Siamese BENZOIN, a fragrant Resin originating in Laos, highly valued for its balsamic and almond notes.
As Ambroxan, enfolded in Tonka Bean and Moroccan and Chinese Cedar, exudes its carnal notes, the Benzoin transcends the Vanilla with its intoxicating scent as if to better diffuse its spellbinding trail. Perfumer : Corine CACHEN.

LA LITURGIE DES HEURES
Aromatic, woody, oriental
A venerable Roman chapel in the south of Italy or a monastery lost in the perfumed hills of Greece… Here, time is of no importance. There is only eternity. On the cool flagstones, worn to a satiny polish over the centuries, the Mediterranean summer’s burning caress exalts an infinite love, almost holy. Suspended in the air is a perfume of mysticism and mystery, hinting at a torrid, almost violent fever. Incense, olibanum and myrrh, immemorial aromas for entire, impetuous passion, ready for communion.
Cypress, incense, musk
GARDEZ – MOI
floral
An elegant femme fatale with a Parisian soul and legs that go on forever, this powerful woman has made her intense femininity a formidable weapon of mass seduction. From Paris’s place Vendôme to rue de la Paix, she walks casually and nonchalantly on dagger-sharp stilettos. Heads turn as she passes. The opulent white flowers in her wake make even the boldest look away.
Tomato leaf, gardenia, raspberry
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.
Spices, rose, amber
EFFERVESCENT. TEXTURED. LUMINOUS.
PRIVATE BLEND MANDARINO DI AMALFI CAPTURES THE CALM IDYLL OF THE WHITEWASHED VILLAS DOTTING THE CLIFFSIDES OF AMALFI. CITRUS FRUITS WAFT THEIR AROMA WITH A TONIC-LIKE EFFECT, AND EVENING COMES ON WITH A WARM BREEZE OF NIGHT-BLOOMING FLOWERS; THE AIR IS SCENTED WITH MINT, THYME AND WILDFLOWERS.
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.
