New Arrival in Fragrance

Norlimbanol®

Norlimbanol is one of the most powerful woody notes in all of perfumery, with its hypnotic smell of absolute dryness. Perfume critic Chandler Burr describes it as “a genius molecule that should be worth its weight in gold” and compares it to a multi-sensory amusement park ride. Discovered by Firmenich’s chemists and patented in 1986, this “vintage” captive joined the exclusive group of “Green Chemistry” molecules readily biodegradable. Its dry woody and ambery hues are a must in modern perfumery.

THE SCENT: Monumental Wood

It takes a monumental molecule to recreate the scent of the gigantic redwoods. Frank Voelkl’s choice became the core of this colossal composition. Norlimbanol runs thru every fiber in our conceptual tree. First, it is absorbed by its roots along with tactile suede, earthy patchouli, and animalistic musky notes. Then, victoriously ascends through its trunk, carried by sweet stems of cyclamen, suave rose petals, and volatile pimento berries. As it reaches the canopy, chlorophyll-saturated juniper, balsamic eucalyptus, bright bergamot, and celestial star anise propel the glorious ascension, releasing a gigantic silage worth of its name, red_wood.

 Notes: Norlimbanol, rose, pimento berries, cyclamen, suede, juniper, cedarwood

Do you remember what it feels like when your life is about to change? 

What about how it smells? AEDES DE VENUSTAS 16A marks a moment of rebirth, a skin scent that adapts to its wearer with revered, natural roots. 

It was commissioned to celebrate AEDES PERFUMERY’s reinvention and move to 16A Orchard Street, on New York City’s “Lower" Lower East Side, a vibrant area that attracts a hip and diverse crowd, where galleries, skaters, cafes, and small, exclusive shops create crackling energy and excitement. In 2021, it has taken on a deeper meaning to AEDES DE VENUSTAS founders Robert Gerstner and Karl Bradl. “Every single soul went through a massive change in their lives,” says Gerstner. “During this time, we rooted here, in this neighborhood that represents the turnover of New York City. Unknowingly we have made something that is so much more important.”

Not just a smell, but a feeling. Something that is nurtured and then grows. “I aimed to create a sense of emotional wellbeing through a simplistic fragrance structure,”says perfumer Frank Voelkl. “The use of ingredients extracted from natural roots like ginger and iris tie us back to our earth, making us feel grounded and centered." But rather than recognizing a single note or fragrance category, 16A ORCHARD presents as a bit of a mystery. “You don’t know what to make of it right away, and that’s what makes it interesting,” says Gerstner. “You can’t put your finger on it. That’s also the essence of the Lower East Side. It teaches you to think —and live—outside the box.”

Earthly materials become airy in Voelkl’s hands. Ginger raises questions, throws you off course. Iris brings you back into focus as it reveals cold yet delicate qualities. Quince and muguet amplify the roots. Dry cedarwood and cashmere-like tonka create a spicy, dry roundness for more ephemeral notes of bergamot, lemon, cardamom, and jasmine.  

AEDES DE VENUSTAS 16A ORCHARD is presented in a precious vessel: A fluted glass bottle marked by peacock blue accents, a matte black insignia-stamped cap, and a sleek yet weighty design that marks the next chapter in the AEDES DE VENUSTAS story.  

Notes: Ginger, iris, bergamot, lemon, cardamom, quince, jasmine, muguet, musk, suede, ambrox, tonka bean

Perfumer: Frank Voelkl

MUSE IN PARIS, ARTIST IN MEXICO, AN ASSERTIVE WOMAN

A solar perfume, as vibrant as the Greek sky, leaving on the skin a warm trail, like a memory of a dive in the Ionian Sea.

A modern chypre overdosed with musk. Opening with a tart rhubarb, fizzy citrus and aromatic basil, the fragrance evolves towards a soft and delicate bouquet, leaving on the skin a sophisticated musk facetted with notes of milky sandalwood, creamy amber and cashmere woods.

The sea has shaped a legend that electrifies the enamored hearts, announcing a smile of bergamot, tangerine, grapefruit, rose oil and patchouli. Whoever swims through this rocky passage made up of golden reliefs like amber, and turquoise water as soft as iris, will know a lasting love.

The “Canal d’Amour”, such is its name, patient. He knows that the Greek island has many other secrets to share, woven of jasmine, ambrette seeds, sandalwood, and tonka bean; fruits of so many influences. Here stands the blackcurrant absolute, where raspberry and peach are combined.

Beautifully wild, mountainous and wooded landscapes, lead to visions of Italian, French and British architecture, Byzantine churches and Roman remains. The Epochs, cultures, cedar wood, musk and lily-of-the-valley, the languages, traditions, rhubarb and geraniums, can all be found in Corfu. The Island of all encounte

A fragrance from the future; where nature and technology meet and complement each other. A fusion of liquid-scented Aqual™ and Yuzu bring to life a citrusy metallic freshness.

While the velvety skin and juicy fruitiness of peach and pear form a metaphor for human flesh and intertwine with a human heart of jasmine. A hybrid, superhuman body, between natural and synthetic, whose vital force is born from the power of amber woods and the chrome minerals of moss.

The Ghost in the Shell, a perfume that speaks of the human phenomenon and its paradox, a perfume to wear on oneself ab libitum, at one’s pleasure. A perfume as a propagation towards the other, that makes you the axis and the arrow of evolution; modern, indeed!

Corpus Equus, an interpretation of a horse smell, not just any... Naomi's favorite steed.  This perfume is a color, a silence, a rhythm, a light.

A black composition with animalistic notes.  Corpus Equus pays homage to the noble & wild nature of an Arabian stallion.  Fiery, intrepid & hot-blooded with an elegant gait.

Corpus Equus is not a contrast between top/heart/base notes but rather a contrast between the black colors and the velvet in all its shimmering effects.

Notes: Black rose petal, horse hair and leather, cigarette ash, tonkin musk and an amber infusion

A heady, spicy fragrance with an initial burst of bergamot, lime, peppermint and rum, layered with a melange of spicy and floral middle notes of clove, bay and rose.

Woody base notes of tobacco, frankincense, cedar wood and vetiver round off this striking fragrance. A perfume enjoyed by both men and women.

Just a few minutes before heading out to embrace the night. She takes out her favorite powder and caresses her face with light strokes of the brush. She ties a satin scarf around her neck, her bare skin imbued with the scent of makeup.

A powdery cloud as elegant as her lipstick with a soft and creamy cosmetic scent that highlights her colorful personality. In just a few moments, all eyes will be on her.

Soft and comfortable notes of face powders.
Sweet, sensual, seductive notes of lipstick.

Raspberry, rose, iris powder: a second skin cosmetic accord.

"Rose Pompon" is a garden rose with a thousand petals. It contains in its heart a sweet and airy scent, too fragile for a perfumed essence to be extracted.

This extraordinary rose fragrance recreates its illusion thanks to a precise blend of two origins of Damascena rose: Bulgarian rose, with a fresh and delicately fruity floral scent, and Taif rose, more sensual with its honeyed facets.

Underlined with a hint of raspberry, to perfect the magic, this duo of roses reproduces as precisely as possible the unique and romantic scent of a pompom rose.

The latest arrival of Mizensir Eau de Parfums created by master perfumer Alberto Morillas. The sample pack includes 4 x 0.7ml vials of the following creations:

• Sweet Praline

• Bois de Mysore

• Musc Eternal

• Celebes Wood

Yet another praline indeed but this time it’s so different from the others! Neither sweet nor syrupy, this one is a subtle blend of tasty notes, raspberry with barely caramelized benzoin which, softly and as delicately as a petal, sweetens the Chinese sambac jasmine.

To spice the whole thing up and give it the elegance which marks great perfumes, sparks of frankincense and papyrus wood were also tagged on. This Sweet Praline is not the one of a confectioner but a perfumer’s… for your skin to be good enough to eat! 

• Top Notes: Raspberry accord, Hedione®
• Heart Notes: Absolute jasmine sambac from China, SFE incense extract (CO2 extraction)
• Base Notes: Benjoin, Ambrox®, papyrus wood (cypriol)
• Perfumer: Alberto Morillas

Let’s try first to imagine a bunch of roses, jasmine and white hawthorns, nested in a white musk cocoon, which would be terrifically powdery thanks to the elegance of Florentine iris…

Then let’s add a gourmet touch thanks to the tonka bean, that brings its almondy feel to the fragrance. Here, appears Musc Eternel, a musky and sensual touch which stands like a second skin.

• Top Notes: Bulgarian rose essence, Paradisone®.
• Heart Notes: Absolute iris, Egyptian jasmine absolute, Hawthorn accord 
• Base Notes: White musks, tonka bean absolute
• Perfumer: Alberto Morillas

An imaginary journey to Celebes Island, also known as Sulawesi. A profusion of spices and woods, dense and powerful as one entered an extraordinary forest at the other end of the world. The sun is at its zenith, the heat awakens the scents and from the dawn, we can already perceive the scents of rare essences.

One advances little by little and the smells intensify: burning cinnamon barks, intoxicating cardamom seeds... Then it is the turn of white pepper with its sparkling note, black vanilla pod hardly greedy. Cold spices mingle with warm spices, followed closely by the roasted accents of tonka bean and the depth of labdanum. And slowly, the fragrances become so intense that they leave their mark on the skin.

• Top Notes: Bergamot essence, cardamom essence, geranium essence
• Heart Notes: Essence of cinnamon, essence of cistus labdanum, essence of white pepper, absolute tonka bean
• Base Notes: Styrax essence, Clearwood®, Madagascar vanilla absolute
• Perfumer: Alberto Morillas

No perfumer has ever worked on sandalwood that way before, from its top, down to its roots.

To bring the freshness and softness of sandalwood leaves, Alberto Morillas uses green cardamom and violet leaf. Sri-Lankan sandalwood speaks for the dense and soft trunk while Vulcanolide® white musk reminds the roots deeply buried in the ground.

Mineral, earthy, “Bois de Mysore” divulges a lightly powdered and voluptuous whiff, as sensual as a deer. “Bois de Mysore” works like a sumptuous skin wood.

• Top Notes: Mandarin essence, neroli essence, green cardamom essence
• Heart Notes: Indian sambac jasmine absolute, violet leaf absolute,
• Base Notes: Sri Lankan sandalwood essence, white musk (Vulcanolide®)
• Perfumer: Alberto Morillas

Now Molecule 01 gets a plus one. In three iterations, it is paired with a single scent ingredient. 

In 2006, Escentric Molecules launched Molecule 01, a single aroma-molecule in a bottle. The molecule was Iso E Super, an abstract synthetic created in a lab at IFF. “Molecule 01 is an exceptional molecule: radiant, velvety, cocooning. There’s nothing else like it, people find it irresistible. It’s mysteriously effective on its own as Molecule 01, it’s great in a fragrance as in Escentric 01. But recently I started to wonder if there might be another way to play with it. What if I could take the molecule and add just one other beautiful ingredient and see how they danced together in the bottle? That’s Molecule +.”

Iso E Super + Patchouli

Patchouli is a unique natural. Unlike 99% of perfume ingredients, we associate it with a particular period, with the sixties and seventies and that bohemian spirit. It has a cool, rather aloof woodiness to it.  - Two qualities of patchouli have been used in the fragrance.

The biggest chunk is Patchouli Coeur which is a very clean, soft patchouli oil fraction with the camphor-like top note removed.

The other is a patchouli oil from Indonesia to round it out with a little bit of a top note.

The result is a sophisticated, clean patchouli that pairs fantastically well with Molecule 01.

Now Molecule 01 gets a plus one. In three iterations, it is paired with a single scent ingredient.

Iso E Super + Iris

“It’s not easy to describe iris’ smell as such, but if you smell a fragrance without it, and then with it, you understand immediately what it does. It adds a creamy powderiness. It brings a physical dimension to a fragrance. Every Escentric fragrance has an iris note somewhere in there. Iris is luxury. The iris pallida absolue used in this fragrance is one of the most expensive ingredients in perfumery.

A fragrance with a fantastic sillage.

Iso E Super + Mandarin

“Mandarin is all about the instant hit. It’s so alive, the way it radiates off the skin with that citrus zest. But there’s more to mandarin, it’s very fruity and aromatic as well.

- It’s a beautiful ingredient. Its transparency means that it vanishes quickly. I’ve touched it up with a little extra shading to extend it, adding a mandarin ingredient used in flavourings to give it super-juiciness. Then as it begins to fade, Molecule 01 syncs in, bringing a warm, erogenous feeling to play with that zinging freshness.

That’s unusual – for a topnote ingredient like Mandarin and a base note like Iso E Super to dance together naked like this, without other notes coming between them. And then the mandarin is almost gone and you are left with the elevated simplicity of Molecule 01.

B683 Extrait – 50ml

With this reinterpretation, the two creators offer a dive into the most sensual character of B683, an immersion at the heart of this perfume and its signature: the warmth and the depth of a woody-leathery accord. Here, it gains another intensity to become an authentic “patchouli leather.” Around that, other notes of the composition sublimate the different facets of this matter with tactile sensuality. Pepper and cumin offer the vibration of their spicy accents, the oud wood enhances the density of then accord while the vanilla brightens it with a caressing roundness. On the skin, B683 EXTRAIT marries the one who wears it as a double that underlines its presence.

The top note is spicy and liquorish with pepper berries essence, cumin seeds and green apple. The heart is really animalic and leathery. Made with safraleine, violet leaf and natural oud from Laos (ethically sourced). The base is warm and woody and concentrating the smell of patchouli from Indonesia, sandalwood from Australia and vanilla.

The fragrances of the Maison MARC-ANTOINE BARROIS are the result of the meeting of two young designers. One is a couturier, the other a perfumer. Their childhood memories brought them together. Remembering captivating smells; of the leather from an elegant attaché case or an immaculate desk blotter; of the distinct smells of wood during the regular gatherring, or of fuel to warm the family home. The artistic skills of the former and the olfactory talent of the latter together sparked the magic of these beautiful fragrances.

Floraïku takes an olfactory voyage to ancient Japan with the Volcanic Flowers eau de parfum, part of the Enigmatic Flowers collection that finds its inspiration in Ikebana, the traditional art of arranging flowers in an understated yet beautiful way.

Presented in a box with a travel spray and an artistic cap that doubles as a refillable handbag spritz, the dynamic fragrance erupts with the heady notes of lily of the valley underscored by jasmine absolue and enveloping patchouli oil.

Top Notes: Lily of the Valley

Middle Notes: Jasmine absolue

Dark Vanilla will warm your heart thanks to its sensual notes of resinous Vanilla, Spices and Amber. Sandalwood, Leather and Oud Wood give it an intense oriental sillage, intimate and narcotic. A delightful fragrance you can’t get enough of.

Top Notes: Pink pepper, saffron, cumin, cardamom, lemon, coriander

Middle Notes: Sandalwood, black leather, oud, patchouli

Base Notes: Vanilla, amber, musk

Top Notes: Saffron, incense, lemon

Middle Notes: Leather, rose, oud, patchouli

Base Notes: Amber, mate, oak moss, grey musk

Inspired by Italy and the islands whose name recalls the songs of cicades. The sun stands proud, the earth welcomes it, the fruits are gorged with it. Italian bergamot oil, bitter orange oil. On the Mediterranean's greatest lady guards Mount Etna. The spirit of the volcano, its sovereign presence; balsam fir and white leather.

An island of character, made for a zesty, energetic, eruptive leather accord. From the alleys of the vibrant Palermo, between cardamom and coriander seed oil, on the flowery heights of Taormina, a violet-leaf accord, into the valley of the temples, the beautiful Sicilian soul unfolds. In its lands, in its mountains, a path of resins and woods wind its way. Cedar atlas oil, gaiac wood oil. The perfume is aerial, which allows the encounter of water and fire, cedrat and leather.

• Middle Notes: Peruvian balsam, Tolu balsam
  
• Base Notes: Ashes of cade, Burmese oud, Nagarmotha
  

From the Shorai Garden you can see the ‘Cupolone’ (as the cathedral’s dome is called) and part of the historical centre of Florence. The cover artwork on the box is by painter Teppei Sasakura and represents the union of Florence and Kyoto in the 50th anniversary of their becoming twin cities.

Acqua di colonia Cinquanta by Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella was created to celebrate this anniversary.

It is a floral bouquet in which top notes of gardenia, orange blossoms, and Tiaré flowers blend with mellow woods and green tea in a cashmere embrace. A musky amber note introduces the base note of precious wood.

With Argentina, Memo plunges into the heart of a territory, a country, to the rhythm of a dance, a passionate impulse.

Like a rose, emblematic of perfume, queen of flowers and symbol of ardent love.  A floral aromatic with a sweet and warm back, wraps you in elegant and delicate way, where rose and oud meet to a tango dance.

Contains a 2ml EdP vial of the following scents:

- On The Road

- She Came To Stay

- Heart Of Darkness

- Against Nature

- The Decay Of The Angel

The individual box art for each fragrance sample is chosen randomly.

For the unconventionally decadent. Inspired by Joris-Karl Huysmans’ 1884 novel of the same name which broke from his naturalist roots, this is a decadent re-interpretation of nature at its most ornate.

The sprawling reach of this little known novel can be seen as that poisonous French novel that inspires Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray to depart on a life of decadence. The French poet and philosopher Paul Valéry called it his "bible". 

Against Nature is a blur between the natural and the artificial, ultimately echoing an alternate beauty. This gender neutral fragrance features leafy green foliage, moist soil & earthy mosses underscored with notes of cold metal, blood and lacquer.

Top Notes: Pink Pepper, Lemon, Juniper, Green, Metal

Middle Notes: Jasmine, Ylang Ylang, Lavender, Lacquer

Base Notes: Musk, Vetiver, Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli

Watery green floral notes give way to the scent of dark woods and damp moss, infused with hints of burning coal and amber. Inspired by Joseph Conrad’s 1899 novella of the same name, this is a journey by steamer up the Congo River into the unknown.

Top Notes: Ozonic, Rain Accord, Galbanum, Ylang Ylang, Jasmine, African Violet

Middle Notes: Dark Woods, Smokey Embers, Cedar, Sandalwood, Guaiacwood, Vetiver, Birch Tar, Leather

Base Notes: Damp Moss, Amber, Musk, Earth, Patchouli

A rich and exotic burnt floral fragrance with a subtle headiness that comes from desire infused by flowers on the wane. Inspired by Yukio Mishima’s 1971 novel of the same name, these are the final longings of a descending angel.

Like the novel this fragrance explores notions of decadence and innocence, birth and rebirth. It is about the inescapable beauty of the natural in all it's forms.

Top Notes:Mandarin, Neroli, Rose, Ylang Ylang, Frankincense

Middle Notes: Sambac Jasmin, Acacia, Cade

Base Notes: Oudh, Cedarwood, Patchouli, Tonka, Labdanum

For the freethinker amongst you. Inspired by Simone de Beauvoir’s 1943 existential novel of the same name, “She Came to Stay” is a gender neutral perfume that echoes the evolving nature of our sense of self when faced with a world on the edge of change. 

The semi-autobiographical novel tells the story of de Beauvoir's relationship with the French philosopher Jean Paul Sartre around the turn of the decade of a 1940s Paris. Alongside de Beauvoir's second novel, this highly influential novel is arguably considered to mark the start of modern feminism.

This perfume explores notions of freedom and sexuality that the protagonist pursued by taking a number of classical fragrance notes and giving them a unique twist that echoes the freethinking spirit of de Beauvoir and Sartre.

Top Notes: Geranium, Basil, Lemon

Middle Notes: Indonesian Clove, Nutmeg

Base Notes: Patchouli, Vetiver, Labdanum, Oakmoss, Cedarwood

For your inner rebel - Inspired by Jack Kerouac’s 1951 novel of the same name, “On the Road” is a unisex perfume that polarises by telling a tale of restlessness and an unbridled desire to experience the beat counterculture of a Jazz fuelled post-war America. Kerouac's iconic novel gave a voice to a generation that is still felt today.

Experience the second edition of On The Road as a road trip in scent across a Post-War America. The scent unfolds on your skin to trace the journey of Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty from the hot July streets of a New York City summer to the whiskey bars and wheat fields of a Middle America before finally ending up amongst the cedar forests and citrus trees of the Pacific Coast. 

Top Notes: Lemon, Bergamot, Lavandin

Middle Notes: Amyris, Cedarwood, Patchouli

Base Notes: Tonka Bean, Oakmoss, Guaicawood, Benzoin, Birch, Vanilla, Labdanum, Perou

Jovoy’s new fragrance, “21 Conduit St”, revisits a great classic of English perfumery while giving it a new, intriguing and decidedly modern twist.

Whether the memory conjures dried flowers from Norfolk tucked into ornate sachets, or the fragrance of a bottle of authentic British Eau de Cologne, lavender is to English perfumery what scones are to teatime.

The result of a creative tandem, 21 Conduit St gives the scent of lavender a singular brightness. The accord comes from a formula by Oli Marlow, whose fascination with this aromatic note goes back to his childhood. He dreamt of giving it greater contrast, making it more multi-facetted, upping the tangy, fruity freshness and warming it through with resinous notes.

“It’s a lavender that’s chiseled from the freshness of cold, crisp oranges, the cheekiness of cassis and the bittersweet comforting warmth of pine”  Marlow explains.

In Paris, his meeting with the perfumer Marie Schnirer (Laboratoire Maelstrom) opened the door to a new world of raw materials, most notably a quality of Javanese Vetiver that enriches the ensemble with a whorl of smoky, earthy notes.

“It’s like a very original note of hashish”  Marie Schnirer observes.

“But,” she adds, “above all, the secret of 21 Conduit St is the richness of its dual lavender - a very aromatic essential oil and an absolute with the coumarone notes of a plant that has spent several days drying in the sun - it radiates all the way through to the perfume’s woody base.”

It’s also a lavender cloaked in the freshness of citrus and the fruity notes of fir balsam, whose candied accents evoke a tantalisingly soft amaretto accord, balanced by a mysterious, shadowy, woody facet.

Sleek, intense, and daring, 21 Conduit St radiates English elegance tinged with a dash of impertinence that gives it all its charm.
