New Arrival in Fragrance

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

Wildly explicit. Sweet, juicy, and alluring. Inspired by Cumbia, sultry tropical nights and a hint of BDSM. Fleshy, ripe mango is blended with dripping wet vines and warm, creamy woods. It’s a little exotic getaway in a bottle.

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.

The awakening of the dragon, imperial. Eyes sparkling with icy fire. Oil of orange. He rises above my cup of red tea, his breath swirling the flavor of bergamot. His trembling shadow stretches out to my place in the hall of honor. Suddenly the heat swells, and the atmosphere shifts from citrus to intense wood. Soaring into the air, he vanishes from the palace in a flash of powder. Benzoin. What is he looking for? All of a sudden, it stops snowing outside. I can see him in the distance, undulating in sync with the Great Wall of China. The dragon is dancing with joy, drunk on freedom. He sows an everlasting spring, maté tea, grapefruit, and yet leaves a wake of passionate amber and vanilla. Winter Palace has freed its emissary, a winged and tenacious dragon king with a trail of fire.

Calm concealed in grace

The kabuki actor the ultimate male performer of female roles, devoted himself completely to depicting the true form of women. Possessed of an illusory grace and calmness, he brilliantly depicted the beauty of women in a way that transcended gender. World-renowned novelist Yukio Mishima praised his beauty, and together they created works that will remain forever in history. Even after becoming a star, he never became proud, and treated people extremely gently and politely while quietly handling himself. This earned much respect as a man of character. Having lived his life on the stage, devoted to an image of beauty transcending that of gender, he finally passed away on an illusory day very much befitting the life he had led; with the spring cherry blossom in the full bloom in the garden amid a powdered scattering of unseasonable snow.

NOTE: JAPONISM INCENCE WOODY
The countlessly blooming graceful cherry blossom and the calm, regulated dance of unseasonal powdered snow.

An illusory fragrance, like unseasonal snow dancing on a spring day.

• Top Notes: Ukon, sakura, creamy, powdery snow accord
• Middle Notes: White sandalwood, cashmere wood, vetiver
• Base Notes: Musk, amber, hidden Japonism 834

Love concealed in strength

The warlord Nobunaga Oda; a hero who carved out the future, moved history and changed the world. Possessed of overwhelming strength and a yet an endlessly deep love. Armored, slicing through the taut air as he led his troops into battle, he crushed the armies of his enemies. He came to be known as the “Devil King” among the people and was feared by all foes due to his unbending strength. Behind this fearsome epithet, however, he also possessed a deep love; throwing festivals in honor of the hard work of those beneath him, dressing as a woman to sing and dance alongside his followers, and doing everything he could to please those of his clan and his country. Clad in an iron wind, a revolutionary hero who lived in turbulent times and changed the world.

NOTE: JAPONISM AROMATIC WOODY

It all started with Banana... Extravagance, exuberance, imagination and champagne: Les Folies Bergères in the 70s, the famous Parisian cabaret.

No expense was spared for a costume to one of their balls, and no detail forgotten, especially not the scent.

It was for a Banana costume to this very ball that the avid plant collector and chemist Jean Laporte created his first nature-inspired fragrance. This Banana scent sparked a passion, and a desire to bring the fragrance industry back to a pre-industrial state, where each ingredient is respected, identifiable and valued.

And so, with this mission in mind, L’Artisan Parfumeur, the craftsman of fragrances, was born. Today, with the help of Perfumer Céline Ellena, the brand re-imagines the never commercialised fragrance that started its story...

• Top Notes: Baba fig
• Middle Notes: Nutmeg flower, jasmine
• Base Notes: Tonka bean, iris, amber
• Olfactive Group: Floral / Green
