INSPIRATION
With great flourish and a fanfare of flutes, drums and trumpets, Emperor Severus served caviar to the most revered guests in garlands of roses.

INSPIRATION
Our muse and inspiration is AURORA, Goddess of Dawn. A vision to behold, her chariot soared into the sky painting the sky in rose tinted hues. With her purple mantle billowing behind her scattering rose petals in her wake.
This scent captures the warmth of the rising sun and the eternal glamour of Aurora and her sillage.

Amber Aquilaria opens with a bright, sparking bergamot that melts into a heart of roses – rich, velvet petals that mesmerise before falling into an opulent pillow of warm amber, sandalwood, Bourbon, vanilla and Aquilaria Oud.
INSPIRATION
Passion for perfume was woven into the tapestry of everyday life for the Romans. Their fountains were scented rose water and perfume was part of cleansing rituals, celebration, feasts, seduction and worship. The Romans collected the finest and rarest oils from across the Empire, from West to East and that obsession, creativity and quest for the finest is at the heart of Amber Aquilaria
Electimuss means “to choose the best” in Latin and that ethos is the essence of Amber Aquilaria. The finest oils and resins in this fragrance are rare and precious and have been blended with meticulous attention paid to every note and detail.
This fragrance that exudes luxury and elegance and is connoisseur crowd pleaser.
Floral Musky Fruity
“Within our first fragrance collection, we wanted a really universal expression. The words that came to mind were: easy, comfortable, urban, sophisticated, chic, easy to understand…
A generous fragrance built around woods, flowers and a sensual touch. So a luminous chypre structure came to mind. Musky notes were de rigueur here, and so was an elegant touch of rose and amber. But the initial seriousness of the accord disappeared when colorful but subtle fruit accents were added: they were here to stay.
So just like PASSION VICTIM reflects the heady languor of Paris in the 20s, this attractive composition evokes the speed and the sophistication of today’s New York. A human silhouette dashing through the cityscape, a trail of a perfume filled with an urbane, civilized feeling. The ultimate expression of effortless chic.”
Floral Citrus Ambery
“I like observing flowers bloom, expand and exhale their last breaths. I can say that just like some people are bird watchers. I am a bloom watcher. My love for flowers is infinite, as I’m a botanist and I am Mexican (in my country, we love flowers way too much!) So for this symphonic floral perfume, I blissfully orchestrated my floral parts and pieces thinking of the natural life cycle of a flower: from the closed bud to its eclosion, its magnificent turgescence, its nocturnal exhalations, its languid fading away… and then the petals landing softly on the ground, exhausted but still redolent.
A very specific tuberose extract paired with a new quality of jasmine from Southern China provided the heart for this scent and the palpitations come from fine citrus essences and natural leafy accents. And just at the end, a hint of humanity appears, as an ambery, warm oriental accord works as a pedestal for this multifloral beauty.”
SENSUAL, WARM, UNCTUOUS AND VELVETY, THIS FRAGRANCE EVOLVES AND SPIRALS LIKE A FRAGRANT VOLUTE OF SMOKE. AN OPULENT FLORAL HEART ADD TO THE INTRIGUE AND THE ATTRACTION IS NO OTHER THAN FATAL.
DARK AND ENLIGHTENED AT THE SAME TIME, THIS STUNNING PERFUME PLAYS WITH CONTRASTS LIKE NO OTHER: A FRAGRANT CHIAROSCURO, BOTH ENIGMATIC AND ELEGANT, GLISTENING AND SOMBER AT THE SAME TIME, LIKE A HIDE OF THE SHINIEST BLACK LEATHER.
“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!”
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.
