Purpose - Eau de Parfum

$ 5.00

A vertical totem of mineral woods and stellar sparks of spice, Purpose is a shamanic awakening, the scent of feeling at peace, of finding your roots, of being complete.

A brisk Bergamot washes over you like a draft of glacial air. You feel the cold grip of Pink Pepper, the slight tingle of Pimento Berry in your fingers and a Frankincense encapsulating your past and your future.
 
A deep breath fills your lungs with the fierce and smoky scent of Sand Vetiver and of an animalic Rose whose weathered tobacco accents tame the tension between an earthy Papyrus and a silken touch of Sandalwood.
 
Yet this is roads’ end, where the sun is always high, and rays of aldehydic Mystikal suddenly spear through Saffron and Suede, your leathery cloak of doubts, to kindle a mist of Akigalawood, shimmering like a swarm of fireflies.
 
A vertical totem of mineral woods and stellar sparks of spice, Purpose is a shamanic awakening, the scent of feeling at peace, of finding your roots, of feeling complete.

Search - Eau de Parfum

$ 5.00

Citrus | Woody

A tale of trying and reaching, of life overcoming shade, Search captures the virile energy of resilient minds unafraid to fight their inner darkness to become their ideal self.

It is at first a flash of Lemon, insanely vibrant and bright, striking like lightning in the middle of the night. Fluttering notes of Lime, lively and shrill, soon come forth, welded into the metallic zing of Mandarin, its leathery zest and bittersweetness.
 
Shackled in a cage of dark woods, the Citrus fight with a newfound strength, their light shining brighter as delicate notes of Elemi and a heavenly touch of Hojari Frankincense burst open.
 
Even as the smoke rises and crashes in waves of burnt Cade, spicy Guaiacwood and incandescent Vetiver, the Citrus bouquet carries its brilliance proud, undefeated, and undimmed.

Lineage - Eau de Parfum

$ 5.00

Spicy | Aquatic| Mineral

A dream of faraway. Sundrenched horizons, empty lands, the mineral tang of Sichuan Pepper, the pulsing radiance of Ginger and a whiff of sea spray that altogether smell like the promise of breaking free from the world.
 
On a desert island, wrought of golden Myrrh and Frankincense, a silhouette lies beneath the sun, beneath the sky. A waft of suntan skin catches you unaware, a whiff of Fenugreek, like maple sweet, more gourmand than summer.
 
It beckons you closer. The warmth sunsets, the saltiness of Myrrh and Frankincense absolutes appears at last under maroon strikes of Benzoin and Labdanum.
 
A song of salty incense, of mineral warmth and summer meditations, Lineage is the scent of travelling far from home to get closer to yourself.
 

Perfumer: Karine Vinchon-Spehner

  • Top Notes: Ginger, Sichuan pepper, schinus molle, saffron.
  • Heart Notes: Saffron, rose, jasmine Sambac, osmanthus.
  • Base Notes: Cistus, sandalwood, akigalawood, ambergris, vanilla.

Les Nuits - Eau de Parfum

$ 6.00

Les Nuits

A hot summer’s night in 1838 at the house in Nohant, the setting of those famous and decadent late-night parties where all of Paris’s intellectuals and artists throng: Alfred de Musset, Franz Liszt, Marie d’Agoult, Honoré de Balzac, Gustave Flaubert, Eugène Delacroix. Inveterate night owls, George Sand and her lover of the time, Frédéric Chopin, stroll languorously through the fragrant gardens until dawn.

The air is embalmed by the opulent trail of the novelist’s sumptuous perfume, whose formula, extracted from a small travel phial entrusted by Christiane Sand to the perfume historian Annick Le Guérer, is reproduced today by Dominique Ropion: a unique scent of heady Turkish damascena, the noblest and most luxurious of all roses.

To this is combined, reinforcing its seductive powers, earthy, woody, highly sensual patchouli, as well as the refined, powdery notes of iris, floral and heady ylang ylang, and vetiver, that smoky, leathery essence with a fiery temperament.

Le Parfums Historiques: These perfumes are the result of a meeting between Ivan Pericoli and Benoît Astier de Villatte, the creators of Astier de Villatte, Dominique Ropion, perfumer, and Annick Le Guérer, perfume historian, anthropologist and researcher. All of them driven by the same passion: to restore the prestige of three mythical and magnificent fragrances — Le Dieu bleu (Egyptian kyphi), Artaban (the Roman “royal perfume”), Les Nuits (the perfume of George Sand) — by reconstituting as closely as possible the formulas of the time according to the regulations of today’s perfumery.

Star perfumer at IFF, Dominique Ropion pulled out all the stops in the reconstitution of these three formulas, a perilous exercise considering their richness and complexity. His close collaboration of more than twenty years with Annick Le Guérer was the starting point of the project. The historian provided him with precise documents for the first two perfumes, right down to recipes and the proportions of each ingredient, as well as dregs from the bottom of a travel phial of George Sand’s perfume, entrusted by one of her descendants, Christiane Sand. Ingredients which no longer complied with and are prohibited by current perfumery standards had to be adapted or replaced with substitutes. State-of-the-art technology and innovation made this artistic and technical challenge possible. 

These three fragrances were produced at the Atelier du Parfumeur in Grasse using 100% natural raw materials, essences and concretes, as well as new aromas.

Artaban - Eau de Parfum

$ 6.00

Hailed by the historian Pliny the Elder for its incredibly prodigious formula, containing no fewer than 24 aromas and only the finest and richest (serichatum, costus, cassia, styrax…), imported at great expense from far-flung lands, this “royal perfume,” originally created for the Parthian Kings, was worshipped by wealthy Romans. They could not get enough of it, drenching themselves in it at any opportunity, as dictated by the fashion of the times.

Reinterpreted by Dominique Ropion, Artaban is a pure, telluric and wild concentrate of the wonders of the plant world. We delight in its heady scents: bittersweet marjoram with its small, green, rounded leaves exhaling a delicious aroma; cardamom, with its fresh, spicy, aniseed tang, like a bracing gust of wind; cistus labdanum, whose white flowers adorned with crimson dots gave it the name “tears of Christ”; sweet, vanilla amber, with its scent of incense; and warm cinnamon, humanity’s most ancient spice.

Le Dieu Bleu - Eau de Parfum

$ 6.00

The oldest perfume in the world, unique and mysterious, used more than 3000 years ago in Egypt recreated by Dominique Ropion.

Rising from the depths of the Egyptian age, 4000 BC, Le Dieu Bleu exhales its divine and mysterious perfume like a trace from a supernatural past. Destined for the gods, its heady scents of aromatic herbs, sap, roots and bark were intended to establish beneficial mediation with the powers of beyond.

Majestically reconstituted today by Dominique Ropion, its marvelous, vibrant, intoxicating, radiant scents transport us immediately to the colorful splendors of the temples and frescoes of ancient Egypt. Here merges the intense warmth of honeyed, woodish broom flower, mystical and potent myrrh that flows from the tree in spicy yet sweet white tears, rustic lentisk or balm of Gilead, fresh and green, and calamus, with its astonishing scent of herbs, spices and wood, that grows in dense clumps on the peaceful banks of the Nile.
