New Arrival in Fragrance

A fragrance reminiscent of Santa Maria Novella's garden in the month of May. A blend of citrus flowers mingle with sweet notes of rose and white flowers. Sprinkles of oregano and pepper give way to a mossy base of cedarwood and musk .

An olfactory portrait of spring awakening in the Tuscany.

LET YOURSELF GO TO THE THRILL

Moscow in the Eighties. An anonymous door, a coded knock, a distant beat. A rush of scent – black pepper, saffron, leather and Sicilian tangerine – a smoky, spicy promise of what is still hidden, capturing the effervescent thrill of secret parties, then and tomorrow.

• Top Notes: Sicilian Tangerine, cassis, black pepper
• Middle Notes: Carrot seeds, saffron, black lotus
• Base Notes: Leather, wood smoke, tonka beans

LET YOURSELF GO TO THE THRILL

Paris, August 8th 1988. Eight masked, cloaked women meet secretly in a Parisian art gallery, under Matisse’s “La Danse”, a Modernist bacchanalia of frenzied bodies in cool blue tones. The clandestine club has gathered to perform its own, mystical ritual. The first of many, to be repeated on the same day each year... As they chant, a young woman is brought out, her body as delicious as a ripe fruit.

She shudders with surprise and pleasure as the cooling juice of pears traces her skin. Then slowly, agonizingly she writhes as each of her curves is painted with a mysterious, blue-tinged decoction. Fiery chili arouses her skin. As the other women shed their cloaks and rub against her, skins blazing, streaked with blue, the sensual journey begins. The trance. The dance.

What would you bring on a desert Island? On Vaadhoo, lost in the Maldives, you have everything you need. A glow of ginger, a sparkle of basil, a pinch of cassis buds to begin.

Here at night, the sea illuminates, showing you the path to your own secret. Made of jasmine, geranium, everlasting flower seed. As if stars decided to leave the sky at dusk and join the sea to light up your spirit and miraculously become starfish. You can draw your hopes, dreams and desires directly from the glittering water.

They appear as if by magic. You stand near the shore, surrounded by an enchanting smell of vetiver, patchouli and moss, everything silent around you, and suddenly images flow through your mind. You feel free and peaceful, full of new visions. Why go back to the mainland?

Notes: Bergamot, ginger, rhubarb accord, saffron, violet, jasmine absolute, cedar wood, geranium, everlasting flower absolute, vetiver, patchouli, oud and vanilla absolute

A salted vanilla created around a woody accord of immortelle flower, reminiscent of the softness of trade winds.

Perfume is an invitation to a dream, a poem of possibilities. For the master perfumer, exquisite raw botanicals not only suggest the place where they are grown, but also the feeling that place evokes. Especially the feeling of longing for that place when you’re far away. Perfumer Aliénor Massenet was leafing through an atlas when she suddenly visualised sailing off the fabled island of Madagascar. The trade winds swelling with sensual hints of the land’s astonishing bounty. The heat of the sun amplifying the fantasy.

"The images started to take shape. I could smell the aroma of a vanilla pod, subtly bathed in bergamot, everlasting, benzoin and tolu balm, and gently caressed by a salty sea breeze with a dash of iodine. The whole story was there for the taking….”

Couleur Vanille. Where will it take you?

Escentric 05 consists of a 15% cashmeran molecule base and is built with top, middle and base notes. The top note of Escentric 05 is fresh with bergamot to keep things light, and orange, an ingredient which has an emotional tone to it, bright and happy. It reflects the orange groves that cover the Meditarranean islands.

Laurel and rosemary are typical Mediterranean plants with a spicy freshness and juniper and cypress brings a herbal tonality.

The drydown has two classic Mediterranean ingredients, cistus labdanum and mastic. Mastic is a resin produced by a small tree that grows especially near the sea. It has the clean sharp scent of newly-cut branches. Cistus is a small plant that grows everywhere in the Mediterranean. It has a sweet, leathery, balsamic quality. And of course, there is around 15% of cashmeran – which gives the fragrance its piney warmth.

Molecule 05 consists of the molecule Cashmeran pure and singular.

Cashmeran, a warm, woody and resinous pine note has an unusually complex character for a single molecule. It combines cocooning, musky softness with a dry, aromatic woodiness.

Cashmeran was created in a laboratory at IFF in the late 1970s.

“Molecule 05, cashmeran, is dry, radiant, warm and woody with an unexpected touch of pine resin”, says Geza Schoen. “That gave me the idea of creating a different kind of summer fragrance for Escentric 05. I wanted to evoke what it was like to be by the sea, but not by using the usual marine notes, which I find too artificial. ​​Instead, I wanted to recreate the experience of being on an island in the Mediterranean, like the one where I have spent so many summers. What you notice as you walk up the path from the sea is how the heat changes plants and trees, they turn dry, resinous and aromatic.

Like the caress of rose petals gathered at daybreak, this eau de toilette unfolds on the skin with delicate floral fruity freshness. This drop of perfumed water reflecting a bouquet of four hundred newly bloomed roses is radiant and airy.

Notes: Lychee accord, Damascena rose oil, peony accord, Centifolia rose absolute and musks

Rien is a second skin perfume, a perfume that clings to the body and perseveres in the mind. Like venial sin on the verge of becoming mortal, irresistible and resolutely pervasive.

An entrancing fragrance that leaves an unforgettable imprint. Utter charm, utterly charismatic. The vanilla/opium accord of the dry-down reinforces the addiction. Rien is an essential.

Remarkable People.
You know who you are.

An olfactive toast to celebrate those who defy convention, the Remarkable People of our Free State of Orange, you. Effervescent citrus bubbles over a celebratory pop of champagne and a spiced heart of defiant Sandalwood.

For every epoch, for every era, there are remarkable people.
In classical mythologies, there were the demigods, the offspring of a god and a human, or a mortal who was raised to divine status. An ancient Greek poet used the word demigod as a synonym for hero. They demonstrated strength and power, a willingness to face challenges and confront danger. In the New World, there were the explorers, who discovered unknown lands.

They were heroes too, battling forces of nature to find new territories. And throughout history - scientists, artists, composers, entertainers - all heroes in their own way. New heroes are born every day. There is an element, or an event, or a circumstance, or maybe just a quirk in their personalities that changes them, empowers them, enables them to transcend the ordinary. They believe in something different, something better.

They want to change the rules, break the rules, alter the status quo, in whatever grand or small way they find meaningful. They are on a journey, and maybe it’s the effort alone that makes them remarkable. For some, their efforts bring fame and glory. Many others remain unknown. But they cannot - they should not - be ignored. These are our people - the remarkable citizens of Etat Libre d’Orange, the Orange Free State. The “un” people - uncompromising, unexpected, unconventional, unpredictable. We salute them, we honor them, by offering the extraordinary fragrance they deserve.

The brainchild of Chandler Burr, discerning New York Times Perfume Critic and author of the namesake novel, ‘You Or Someone Like You’ is dedicated to his novel’s main character, Anne.  Anne is a recent transplant in awe of the possibility that lingers in the crisp blue air of Los Angeles. The fresh and uplifting aroma beckons dreamers like Anne, like you or someone like you.

"It should be clear that You Or Someone Like You is not some kind of olfactory landscape painting. Anne is a serious gardener — I wrote a trellis of roses into her garden, I wrote in mint and wild grasses though the individual raw materials are in the end irrelevant. What You is is whatever you find it is. A scent you transplant to yourself. Synthetic and natural beauty. Possibility." 

— Chandler Burr
