To celebrate 15 years of collaboration with the world’s best perfumers, Frédéric Malle has published two limited edition collections. The large coffret contains 20 perfumes presented in 10ml sprays.

The other coffret was designed with men in mind. It offers 10 perfumes, also in 10ml sprays. Moreover, both collections include a Bakelite travel spray created to welcome those fragrances, in addition to a retrospective book especially illustrated by the American sculptor Phillip Low. One will be able to experience the perfumes in the most stylish and comfortable way and, perhaps, be seduced by them.

'1996' was inspired by a photograph of a young girl entitled "Kirsten 1996" taken by the Dutch photography duo Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin in that year. The fragrance is a true collaboration in every sense as creative director Ben Gorham sought to interpret not only the image itself but the vision and personality of its creators.

“We said, ‘These are the notes that we’ve always been attracted to that come from the different countries we have memories of, this is our house full of warm wood and high end design, this picture represents the duality that underlies our work and our life together, the scent is very much Ben’s impeccable and sensitive interpretation of that “ - Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.

1996 opens up the deep green note of juniper berries and a slight spiciness of black pepper. The heart of this fragrance is the warm black amber, lingering with sensual leather and patchouli notes, and a softening vanilla base.

To celebrate 50 years of creation, diptyque wanted to encapsulate the scent of its first boutique located on 34 boulevard Saint Germain with rare and precious fragrances, to give everyone a little part of this place and its history.

Around forty raw materials make up the composition. The initiated will recognise the filiation with the company’s classic fragrances. The head features the sparkling and luminous scents of blackcurrant and the green leaves from L’Ombre dans l’Eau and Philosykos, sustained with the freshness of rose pepper and citrus notes, followed by the spices (clove, cinnamon, cardamom, etc.) of L’Eau.

The heart is a story of flowers: rose (L’Ombre dans l’Eau), Egyptian geranium (one of diptyque’s favourite flowers), and touches of the heady Do Son tuberose with a dash of iris and violet to maintain a gentle and lively aroma.

The base is a combination of woods, balms and resins. The note gives style and suppleness, especially to the eau de toilette. And then there is this small olfactory accident, the eucalyptus, which titillates the nose.

The famous oval-shaped label with a parade of letters drawn in India ink by Desmond Knox-Leet is omnipresent. It is printed on the boxes and determined the shape of the eau de toilette’s glass bottle.

As a sign of ultimate luxury, on the eau de toilette’s bottle, which is sober to the extreme, there is not the slightest noticeable mark. There is just transparent glass and, like a seal, the address, 34 boulevard Saint Germain, engraved on the magnetised stopper made of thick, black Bakelite. The concave base of the bottle evokes the rounded form of the paperweights sold in the boutique with decorative items which have rubbed shoulders with printed fabrics since the first Christmas at 34.

Created around Oud, a certain type of wood that because of its use in traditional incense and perfume has gained great cultural significance and has gotten its existence recorded in one of the world’s oldest written texts – the Sanskrit Vedas from India.

When the once light heartwood from the Aquilaria tree becomes infected with a specific type of mold, it defends itself by saturating its core with a dark, highly fragrant, resin. This dark wood, Oud or Agarwood, holds a complex fragrance, resembling few or no other natural ingredients.

Accord Oud is built around a fresh accord of leather and blond woods with a bouquet of spices; cinnamon, saffron – all rounded up with a black plum accord.

• Top Notes: Blackberry, saffron, rum, cinnamon

A wonderful, fresh men's cologne with the decisive aroma of bitter orange, bergamot and musk.

A fresh, invigorating fragrance with sicilian orange, mandarin and a hint of cypress.

Helvetolide®

Part of the latest generation of synthetic musks (the oldest one goes back to 1888), Helvetolide® is particularly valued for its delectable pear note, reminiscent of ambrette, a vegetal musk extracted from hibiscus seeds. It was patented in 1991 by the Swiss company Firmenich, hence its name, derived from Helvetia, the Latin term for Switzerland.

The scent: Zero Gravity Musk

Helvetolide® gives off a softly enveloping, long-lasting aura; an otherworldly feeling of stillness and weightlessness. Rather than using Helvetolide® in a “classic” way to enhance other notes, Frank Voelkl boosts its ethereal vibe in a futuristic composition that seems to conjure the scent of zero gravity.

A pink pepper comet brings out its fruitiness. Cool, metallic iris underlines its affinities with ambrette (which has an iris facet). A nebula of vanilla, tonka bean and ambergris underline its sensuousness. In German, adrett means “neat” or “dapper”: in this spare, smartly trimmed scent, each element is essential – as it would be in outer space.

A selection of three exquisite fragrances.

The mind questions, but the heart knows;  a new experience anoints the wearer as it weaves a sensuous spell like no other before it.  It is the first touch of AEDES DE VENUSTAS, a touch that will never be forgotten…

The set includes three iconic Aedes de Venustas creations:

IRIS NAZARENA  Mysterious, mystical, sensuous…The rare Iris Bismarckiana is also known as Iris Nazarena because it grows mainly in the mountains east of Nazareth. The suede-soft petals of the mystical flower are sketched in a subtle sfumato of brown, purple and white, brushed with powdery iridescence. The limpid ambrette, with its pear, rose and musk facets, sheds the tender light of dawn on the top notes. 

Notes include:  Iris, ambrette, rose, juniper berry, star anise, patchouli, vetiver, leather, clove, oud, frankincense.

 Composed in New York in 2013 by Perfumer Ralf Schwieger.  Made in France. Fragrance Foundation Award 2014 «Perfume Extraordinaire» Winner. 

 OEILLET BENGALE  A rose that wants to be a carnation… This flamboyant retro charmer that borrows facets from rose and ylang-ylang has a volatile personality. Add explosive exotic spices to it powdery scent and you will start a chain reaction.  

Notes include: Bergamot, black pepper, cardamom, clove, rose, saffron, turmeric, amber, white pepper, vanilla, tolu, benzoin, labdanum.

Composed in New York in 2014 by Perfumer Rodrigo Flores. Made in France.

COPAL AZUR Hypnotic, spiritual and forceful… Just as the Mayan citadel looms over Tulum’s lush beachside paradise, a steep, mineral cliff of incense dominates the olfactory landscape and opens the “Gate to Heaven”. Since copal resin cannot be used as a perfume ingredient, three different extractions of frankincense are used to conjure it from top to base notes, making up an extravagant 30% of the formula. 

Notes include: Incense, salt, cardamom, patchouli, myrrh, tonka bean, amber.

Composed in Paris/Grasse in 2014 by Perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour. Made in France.

A sophisticated purse spray adorned with the iconic Aedes de Venustas insignia. EdP Refills sold separately.

Close your eyes, and imagine yourself entering a mysteriously beautiful world where the magic of scent stirs the imagination and evokes wondrous dreams. The doors to the temple open, and the intoxicating scent of ancient Japanese incense rushes to envelope you, intertwined with the softness of leather. The sensuality of musk, the honeyed bitterness of strawflowers, and the voluptuous sweetness of precious woods draw you further into the depths of the temple.

The spicy and vivacious fragrance, created through the vision and expertise of Bertrand Duchaufour for L'Artisan Parfumeur, retains the woody, Oriental allure of the candle and the room scent, yet includes new facets of spice for sparkle, chypre effect for sophistication, balsam for comfort and leather to compliment and enhance the original fragrance.

Whereas the room spray is a more monolithic scent, meant to be enjoyed in a single harmonic rush of fragrance, the Eau de Parfum evolves on the skin over time, leading the wearer to explore intriguing top notes of bright orange oil, spicy pink pepper, aromatic cardamom and luxurious incense essential oil for a lively, sparkling effect. This is followed by a rich heart of piquant black pepper, rose, iris, verdant cedarwood and incense resinoid, finishing with sophisticated base notes of patchouli, coffee, opoponax, benzoin and treemoss. Everlasting flower, white musk and a hint of vanilla provide a soft and comforting touch. The sophisticated scent vibrates with contrast and excitement, yet comes together in a hypnotic and luxurious harmony, luring you into the seductive landscape of fragrance. Welcome to the temple. Welcome to Aedes!

AEDES DE VENUSTAS honors the past, present and future of perfumery with its first signature scent. Housed in aubergine glass the bottle disrupts classic rules of design with its round and square shape, hinting at the unique construction of the fragrance housed within its body. The circumference of the cap is uniquely positioned and adorned with the AEDES insignia.

A baroque yet futuristic ambience emanates from the skin as soon as the fragrance is applied, embodying the magic that is the AEDES DE VENUSTAS boutique.The mind questions, but the heart knows; a new experience anoints the wearer as it weaves a sensuous spell like no other before it. It is the first touch of AEDES DE VENUSTAS, a touch that will never be forgotten.

The composition of AEDES DE VENUSTAS Signature Eau de Parfum is a world onto itself. There is no trace of the traditional fragrance pyramid. The construction is round, luxurious, voluptuous and addictive. The scents chypre character is pierced at its center with the ephemeral green freshness of rhubarb accord; the axis around which the fragrance revolves, like the wearer emanating its memorable sillage. Embodied and embodying; AEDES DE VENUSTAS Signature Eau de Parfum is the past, present and future of perfumery in simultaneous revolution.

Perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour describes the perfume as a game of supports in an unexpected, even improbably olfactory architecture because the green effect increases while the heavy dark resinous incense and chypre accord is largely deceasing and getting more abstract. On an interesting note many of the ingredients in AEDES DE VENUSTAS Signature Eau de Parfum have been sourced by Bertrand Duchaufour. The ominpresent Vetiver is from Madagascar where Mr Duchaufour himself traveled to meet the farmers and made sure it complied to fair trade practices.

Notes include: Rhubarb, vetiver, red berries, tomato leaf, incense, green apple, hazelnut, honeysuckle.
