C-03 is our Verveine Masterpiece. After years of development and countless revisions and fine-tuning, we were left with three variations from which we were to select the best. The internal code names we gave these wonderful perfumes were Verveine C-01, Verveine C-02, and Verveine C-03; the third variation prevailed and became known as C-03.

C-03 is an incredible perfume composed to showcase Mediterranean verbena, a delicious and volatile scent. Master Perfumer Jacques Chabert artfully layered verveine with the most refined white musk and ambergris accord, pimento, and a myriad of other noble ingredients; C-03 achieves remarkable longevity and tenacity against the odds. You can dip a blotter strip in this delicate fragrance, place it in a room, and detect its elegance immediately as you return the following day! Our C-03 Eau de Parfum is the first verbena fragrance of its kind, refined, intricate, layered, sophisticated, and utterly fantastic.

As for each of our fragrances, we invite you to close your eyes, clear your mind, forget about olfactory pyramids, and immerse yourself with this wonderful scent and create your very own personal interpretation of C-03 and new memories.

Ava Fleur is a gorgeous natural bouquet of floral concretes and essential oils layered with clove buds, balsam, and Mediterranean and precious wood. Our incredible floral perfume is no less than 95 percent natural, and its deep color reflects the blend of five exquisite flowers grown in our hometown (and the world capital of perfume), Grasse. Can you tell which flowers and which two trees we blended with balsam and clove? Ava Fleur shows incredible quality and subtle formulation.

When you mix talent, experience, and demanding standards, you obtain perfumes of incredible quality. Whether one loves our fragrances is personal, but their quality is undeniable.

Bourbon V. is our opulent Oriental Eau de Parfum; it artfully blends costly Madagascar vanilla, honeysuckle, a hint of Mediterranean fruit, precious jasmin absolute from India, mysore sandalwood and undisclosed concretes and absolutes.

Honoré is an exquisite multi-dimensional perfume comprised of light citrus and mugwort, aromatic and floral notes from Grasse, delightful wood and musk accords. This perfume is utterly fantastic for woman and man, and is a warm, noble perfume.

Delightful jasmine, abundant and revered in Grasse, discreetly graces the heart note, layered with green wood and a bouquet of aromatics, among which clary sage from the Mediterranean basin. This is not a floral perfume, and the careful use of jasmine only adds a uniqe dimension to this unique fragrance. The base note artfully blends noble wood with noble resinous components and a white musk accord. Honoré is sophisticated, multi-dimensional and warm, and cannot be compared to any other scent -a rare feat!

Amiral de Grasse pays homage to the Great Admiral who is known, among other feats, for his role in the American Revolution: in 1781, he helped George Washington and General Rochambeau secure the victory of the Battle of Chesapeake Bay. Admiral de Grasse, a nobleman, had ties to our hometown and the sea. The perfume dedicated to his memory, therefore, layers citruses native of Grasse, aromatics from the Mediterranean basin, a discreet hint of Jasmine (a flower revered in Grasse), and aquatic notes of seaweed intertwined with musks, moss and delightful secret ingredients. This elegant, gentle citrus with a soft floral heart features a distinct marine and moss undertone.

Hélichryse, better known as the Immortal flower, is an "Aromatique Héspéridé Vert” a fresh fragrance formulated with the essential oils of five citruses grown in Grasse, a green aromatic heart (thyme, rosemary and additional secret components), and a noble wood and musky base. We were inspired by the memory of elegant olden days in the Riviera in the late 1950s, when traditional Eaux de Cologne were tantamount of sophistication.

This beautiful, crisp Eau de Parfum is also reminiscent of the large fields omnipresent in the Mediterranean backcountry. There, traveling through sun-covered mountains and surrounded by vast fields of wild grass and immortal flowers, we imagined this fresh citrus with noticeably green notes and developed our silk tassel to shine like the sun.

An "Aromatique Boisé Ambré," Place aux Aires is a fresh and refined citrus perfume with a light, discreet floral and aromatic heart, and a soft musk, wood and ambergris base. This exquisite fragrance is an Eau de Parfum by concentration, but remains a traditional Eau de Cologne by type and inspiration: the best of both worlds, since Eaux de Cologne are typically highly volatile due to the ephemeral molecular structure of citrus.

This fine fragrance pays homage to Place aux Aires, the courtyard located in the center of Grasse, the world capital of perfume, and artfully layers components grown locally to make a sublime, fresh and luxurious perfume. Our desire to create this incredibly vibrant, sunny and fresh citrus Eau de Parfum was inspired by childhood memories of attending the Saturday market; there, we tasted the freshest, most delicious and ripe, locally-harvested fruits: bergamot, mandarines, lemons, peaches, nectarines and oranges.

As for each of our fragrances, we invite you to close your eyes, clear your mind, forget about olfactory pyramids, and immerse yourself with this wonderful scent and create your very own personal interpretation of Place aux Aires and new memories.

A dreamscape of reddish dunes. At nightfall, the Wahiba Sands of Oman cast a unique glow onto the sky above. The sun has swooned and the moon takes the form of a crescent in homage to the khanjar, the emblem of the sultanate. It shines just as bright as this small sword, slipped into the leather belt of men who wear the traditional costume.

The heavenly canopy lights up the path to Wadi Shab, a lush paradise, bursting forth like patchouli. A majestic Orient meets the eyes. Oriental Leather bears its secrets and whispers them to Orion, whose constellation hangs in the night like a charm on a belt. Amber and leather notes reveal themselves in full daylight, when the world stirs back into motion in the Mutrah souq, amidst wafting scents of lavender, cinnamon and benzoin.

Coumarin®

Call it the primal scream of perfumery. Coumarin was the very first molecule that allowed perfumers to cut loose from the past and venture into modern abstraction. First used in the groundbreaking 1882 Fougère Royale, this synthetic marvel ignited a new era of artistic expression. Named after kumarù, the word for the tonka bean tree in Tupi, an Amazonian language, coumarin is not only the primal source of modern perfumery, it is still a primary material in the fragrance industry.

THE SCENT: Primal Modernity

To rebirth coumarin and bring it back to its original modernity in psy_cou, perfumer Frank Voelkl had to cure it from its compulsive desire for sugar in order to let its deepest psyche break free. Rather than focusing on its almondy aroma, he drew on the molecule’s true nature: the scent given off by fresh-mown hay. Cool, sparkling juniper berries and cardamom and creamy Palo Santo wood – used as incense in sacred Ecuadorian rituals – shed a ray of light on the bucolic bale. Then flamboyant saffron sets it ablaze, releasing burnt notes of coffee, incense and oud, unleashing psy_cou’s darkest instincts. Like souls, perfumes are made of shadows and light.

Notes: Coumarin, cardamom, juniper berries, coffee, incense, saffron, oud, palo santo

“Tomorrow and the next day too, we will have days no different from this when the blue and golden moments glide by, days when suspended time stands still, merciful days where shadows come from a drawn curtain, a closed door or leafy trees, and not from an overcast sky.”  Colette

Paradis Provence is the essence of the land we call Provence, paradise on earth.

Fields of blue lavande, thyme, orange blossoms, sunflowers following the golden Sun, ancient olive trees, the sky that turns pink as it touches the azure of the Mediterranean and amorous nights drenched in jasmine.

Where the solar energy lights your soul. the golden sunshine warms your skin, and soft breezes caress your senses…, a feeling of deep relaxation prevails. Paradis Provence is the fragrance of the eternal summer – of our youth, our imagination and our passion.  A happy summer of blue salt and crystal.

The parfum is a solar composition of lavande absolut, thyme and orange blossoms.  It carries you to the days of blue and gold and warms your soul with it’s sunlight.

Lavande absolut is the purest essence of this blue flower that is the heart of Provence. The sight of rows of endless blue in the summer is magnificent. Thyme with it’s golden beam of light, cleanses and heals. It opens your heart to receive love. Orchards of orange blossoms laden by the bees, swaying in breeze, scent the air. The orange absolut carries the glorious energy of joy and abundance.

Creating an elegant and unexpected harmony around a quartet of mandarin, violet, immortelle and suede, the two fellow artists Marc-Antoine Barrois along with perfumer Quentin Bisch have dreamt of a new planet: Ganymede, the rocky satellite of Jupiter discovered in 1610 by Galileo, is both luminous and covered with salt-water oceans. It acquired its name from Greek mythology: a young man, Ganymede, was kidnapped by gods who had been so enthralled by his beauty that he was offered immortality.

Composed by perfumer Quentin Bisch, Ganymede once again makes use of the suede-leathery notes that had made B683 a beautiful classic. This time though, the artists emancipated from traditional codes to take us somewhere else, towards a luminous and fluid elegance. Those leather notes become softer, gaining lightness and gentleness in contact with the fragrance of violet. The mandarin smell brings its full vivacity and its acidic essence. The latter gives the tone and verticality of the fragrance from the very start. Yet opposing it, the immortelle is its counterpoint and raises the scented harmony with its double-sided fragrance, at times mineral, at other times salty.

The entire composition plays with contrasts and oppositions. The notes answer one another in a permanent conversation drawing a new olfactory map on the skin, on the reverse of a cashmere jacket, or even right there, next to the buttons of the sleeves, on the wrist. If it could be summed up into one single image, it would be a compass : north for the zested liveliness of the mandarin to which the south would answer with the everlasting flower and to highlight this olfactory frame, the density of suede notes on the west would balance the subtle and delicate florality of the violet on the east. Those are four directions for a perfumed journey to a new imaginary world and new codes of elegance.

• Top Notes: Mandarin, saffron
• Middle Notes: Violet leaf, Chinese osmanthus absolute
• Base Notes: Akigalawood, immortelle absolute

It all began 15 years ago, in Positano, with the creation of the signature Eau d’Italie fragrance to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Hotel Le Sirenuse.

Since then, Eau d’Italie has grown from a single fragrance inspired by Positano to a lifestyle declaration: a brand dedicated to bringing Italy to the world, each fragrance a private view of Italy translated into scent.

After reaching the 15th year, Eau d'Italie wants to celebrate the anniversary with a special scent. How to do it came naturally because Italy is by nature Easy To Love, just like the new fragrance.

An intriguing, subtle melody of fig and flowers, seductive and timeless - just like Italy.

Notes: white currant, fig, white peony, honey, tonka bean and ambrette seeds.

The Scent: Glowing Bright in the Dark

In the 90s, Calone was used for clean, limpid aquatic scents. Here, Nathalie Feisthauer amps up its transparency by backlighting it with green notes so bright they veer on the fluorescent. Rhubarb, blackcurrant bud and tomato leaf add both the vegetal scents of a moonlit seaside jungle and the eerie glow of bioluminescent plankton edging indigo waves. Then she sets it off against the ink-black depths of Somalian incense, its metallic facets adding their cool gleam to the saline effects of Calone. In this powerfully contrasted and textured environment, the molecule evolves into a new olfactory life form. This is marine, but not as we know it.

The molecule: Calone®

Discovered by Pfizer chemists in 1965 doing research on tranquilizers, Calone turned out to be more efficient when inhaled. Its sea-spray, green and melon facets were so powerful that perfumers took over two decades to fully exploit the molecule. It went on to spawn the most iconic fragrance families of the 90s: aquatic fragrances. A victim of its success, Calone has been dormant for the past two decades. With fluo_ral, Nathalie Feisthauer introduces it into a radically different ecosystem.
