Chords is inspired by the desire of belonging in British-German composer George Handel’s residency in London at 25 Brook Street. Handel’s monumental contribution to British culture and music cemented his status as being “more British than British”.
Master Perfumer Nathalie Lorson begins the construction of Chords with Bergamot, echoing British Earl Grey tea with Neroli, which reinforces the fragrance’s freshness with the green and floral richness of Orange Blossom. In the heart, Ylang Ylang, Honey Accord and Tobacco diffuse a suave, warm and addictive sensation. Finally in the base, Cedarwood Atlas and Woodleather reveal a bewitching and woody animalic facet whilst seducing the light and bright volatility of traditional cologne with a darker dimension.
Inspired by stories of the Covent Garden Piazza in the 19th and early 20th centuries, when it was a playground for the sinful and decadent pleasures of the dandies and literati, Master Perfumer Maurice Roucel and award-winning senior perfumer Alexandra Carlin concoct the expressive elements of the duality between light and shadow, danger and desire.
Bright and punchy, yet dark and mysterious, Bohemian Infusion is a fragrance of contrasts. It reinterprets the iconic cologne structure with unexpected ingredients in a freestyle fashion.
Zesty citrus accents of Grapefruit and Petitgrain fuse with juicy Blackcurrant and Cardamom. Cinnamon underlines the spicy nuance and blend with a bold bouquet of icy and resinous aromatic notes of Artemisia, Myrtle and Longoza. Enigmatic shades of earthy Patchouli and mineral Ambrostar are wrapped with carnal Labdanum and sensual Ambre 84 de Laire.

A Cologne Elixir inspired by the Flower Market at Covent Garden which has been immortalised by George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion.
Created by perfumer Bruno Jovanovic, Fanfare is a melodic fantasy with a touch of impertinence exuding the spirit of contemporary British aesthetic.
It opens with a beguiling watery floral and citrus accord, which slowly becomes darker as the structure evolves and becomes more daring with the vermouth accord. Finally, the noble woods bring this dark depth to the structure of the fragrance.
