Nuit de Bakelite - Eau de Parfum

$ 5.00

Naomi Goodsir’s perfumes are composed around emblematic raw materials of fine perfumery - a leather, an incense, a tobacco, an iris ... They all have a distinct olfactory identity through facets & texture.

Nuit de Bakélite is our interpretation of the nocturnal flower tuberose.

It hints the premise (seed) of a narcotic lady ….. Green, obsessive & addictive. « Tuberose sap, peeled tuberose, tuberose in a cage made of green and leather, a focus on the small peduncle that connects the flower to the stem, the sound of plastic when several stalks of tuberose tangle, the wild majesty of the Persian tuberose ». Quote by Isabelle Doyen.

Vétiver Oriental

"I've always yearned for change. When I was a child, I wanted to change my family, my friends and eventually my country. Not to mention my sex.

Everything, even this vetiver, which here enjoys a lascivious plunge into Oriental velvet, a nice change from being an ingredient in cologne."

"Vetiver is featured as a scent in its own right, redolent of cistus with tar-like notes, as viscous as wax!"

Santal Majuscule - Noire Collection - Eau de Parfum

$ 5.00

Serge Lutens Santal Majuscule is built around a creamy note of sandalwood, which smells of warm milk and dried roses. Sandalwood is a striking perfume note full of contrasts, and Lutens, in collaboration with perfumer Christopher Sheldrake, treats it as both a wood and a flower.

Santal Majuscule unfolds on the skin in layers of crimson roses, lightly dusted with chocolate. As the roses soften over time, the sandalwood takes over. What started out as another Arabian Night fantasy now feels tender and serene, a caressing cashmere wrap. The classical slender rectangular bottle has an understated elegance. Its simplicity belies the intricate fragrance it contains -- a dream in a bottle.

The futuristic freshness of Javanol, a sheer sandalwood molecule, is at the heart of the new fragrance pair from Escentric Molecules

For Escentric 04, perfumer Geza Schoen took inspiration from the grapefruit accents in Javanol. The result is a uniquely fresh interpretation of a sandalwood fragrance, fizzing with crisp, bitter topnotes of pink grapefruit peel. Juniper and pink pepper give an extra shot of freshness, and marijuana brings out the softer quality of the grapefruit pith.

The heart is orris with a ‘fresh soft rose’ that Schoen composed from four different rose materials. The drydown is balsamic and woody with Javanol in combination with the somewhat sweeter sandalwood molecule, Polysantol.

Glycolierral®

Though fragrance chemistry can’t yet say “green” in quite as many ways as Nature, today its variegated palette goes far beyond “grass” or “Granny Smith”. Thus, Givaudan’s herbaceous Glycolierral® captures the cool scent of a crushed ivy leaf – hence the name given by Givaudan to the molecule, from the French word for “ivy”, lierre.

THE SCENT: Thinking Green

Say it with a long “o” – Shisõ – and in Japanese, it means “modern thought”. With a short “o”, it trips over the tongue with the uniquely complex flavor of the shiso leaf. An iconic herb in Japanese cuisine, shiso is seldom featured in fragrance. But its smell – a blend of mint, basil and cumin with a metallic flash -- has long fascinated Bertrand Duchaufour. In shi_sõ, he spins it into an arrestingly modern take on a classic genre, the eau de Cologne, replacing citrus with a kaleidoscope of green notes. The zesty bite of cardamom. A sprig of cool spearmint. Lemony verbena. Raspy blackcurrant. Soapy almondy anise. Tart rhubarb. Glycolierral® wraps the bracing blend in a sweet, milky, sap-laden effect.

Epidor - Eau de Parfum

$ 5.00

Its symbolism is based on ears of wheat, the emblem of wealth and fertility since ancient times. Epidor is a bucolic fragrance that evokes harvest time, a season of utmost importance for farmers in the French countryside a century ago. A joyful, sunny period, it was also a rare opportunity for young people to meet and kindle romances. To illustrate this special atmosphere, Epidor has included a generous amount of tonka bean, which releases the aromas of vanilla, new mown hay and almond.

The head note is very musky, while the orange blossom heart develops a soft floral accord of jasmine and violet. The base is highly concentrated in tonka bean (coumarin) with facets of fresh-cut hay, frangipane and vanilla, leaving a persistent, suave fragrance trail.

The ripe wheat swayed yesterday in the summer breeze. The blond sheaves now lie scattered on the ground and the laborers have filled their jute sacks with the golden grain. The village girls lay down their sickles, and in a shady copse, quench their thirst in the stream. They’ll dance tonight to celebrate harvest’s end. A peddler came by yesterday, and now, their skin is fragrant with orange blossom, mingling with jasmine and violet. Their rough smocks have a musky scent, and notes of fresh-cut hay and frangipane tart swirl in the air. While darkness descends upon the fields, they close their eyes for a moment, giving way to their dreams.

  • Middle Notes: Jasmine, orange blossom
  • Base Notes: Cedarwood, sandalwood, tonka bean, vanilla

AEDES DE VENUSTAS

Pelargonium - Eau de Parfum

$ 5.00

A contemporary baroque take on geranium highlights the raw grace of the prized olfactive material. 

A strikingly elegant still life in scent, PELARGONIUM portrays its namesake ingredient like one of the mysterious floral compositions of Dutch Golden Age paintings.  

“My aesthetic inspiration was an old-school flower everyone thinks they know, even though no one really knows it," says perfumer Nathalie Feisthauer, who draws geranium from the depths of the fragrance pyramid to display its complex facets, using freshly-crushed leaves shed light on dusky woods and resins.

Yet this 2017 work is not your garden variety red geranium. Pelargonium graveolens, whose name means “sweet-scented,” yields one of the most versatile essences in perfumery. Distilled from the leaves of the plant rather than its flowers, this geranium has long been used as a fresh rosy note, hence its vernacular name, “rose geranium.”

Here, Feisthauer says, geranium is less fruity and more balsamic, almost incense-like, acting as the central motif of this intriguing composition. The perfumer starts by stretching a canvas of cool orris notes on a neat cedar-wood frame. Then she paints a dark, smoky background of vetiver Haiti, guaiac wood and moss. Shot through with glints of green cardamom, the golden light of Calabrian bergamot suffuses the scene, caught by richly textured ingredients that bring volume and contrast to the composition. The herbal sweetness of carrot enriches the orris accord; ambery clary sage suggests the softness of velvety leaves. Lemony, peppery, incense-like elemi resin enhances as a haze of musks smooths out its edges.

AEDES DE VENUSTAS PELARGONIUM has now been carefully transferred to a precious new 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. 

As it is worn, PELARGONIUM’s stately bouquet takes on a spare, abstract beauty, an evolving work of art that imparts its beauty freely on skin.

Notes:  Egyptian geranium, orris, cedar wood, vetiver, guaiac wood, moss, green cardamom, carrot seed, clary sage, elemi resin, musk

Perfumer: Nathalie Feisthauer

Violettyne®

Capturing the scent of violets in a lab was one of the earliest triumphs of fragrance chemistry and ever since, ionones have been a pillar of perfumery. 
Violettyne® is the 21st century’s answer to their wistful, powdery fragrance: a preternaturally bright violet with a metallic vibration, edged in fluorescent green. Patented in 2000 by Firmenich, the cutting-edge captive molecule turns scent into light with lumen_esce.


THE SCENT: Electric Violet

It is the color of majesty and mysticism. Of mystery and magic. Of inspiration and harmony... Associated for millennia with the most elevated states, violet is also the highest frequency of visible light. In lumen_esce*, Frank Voelkl plays on both meanings of the word, expressing the color’s radiance by exploring the full spectrum of the flower’s scent. Boosted by a cool-as-cucumber essence of violet leaves, the sizzling Violettyne® shoots high-voltage current from bloom to roots. Petals aquiver, the flower scatters scented powder on a springtime posy (freesia, jasmine, iris and rose). Patchouli Prisma, a high-tech natural ingredient distilled and reassembled to enhance its woody warmth, sheds black light on the radiant bouquet.

*Named after the lumen, the unit of measurement of light.

Kismet - Eau de Parfum

$ 5.00

“Folly!”

That’s how the elderly owner of the Lubin Perfume House, Monsieur Paul Prot, described the elephant-shaped perfume bottle that had appeared on his desk. It had been designed for a princess.  Who was believed to be Indian, and so Lubin perfumers had consulted the writings of the famous Indian poet Valmiki. In his work, Valmiki paid homage to Woman by comparing her to the animal believed to be the noblest of all — the elephant. This seemed altogether odd to a well-mannered Frenchman in the early Roaring Twenties. But as for Kismet, the Eastern princess for whom this new perfume was intended, well, she liked it. 

The beautiful Ottoman spy actually laughed when she saw the small crystal bottle of perfume that had been made especially for her. It featured a brightly decorated elephant, alluding to the verse of Valmiki’s Ramayana. Spiritual and multilingual, Kismet cultivated the mystery surrounding her background. She reigned over the Parisian parties of the Roaring Twenties for a time, then one day slipped away, never to be seen again. All that remained was the memory of her intoxicating scent — the scent of the perfume that Lubin had created for her.

    Officina Profumo Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella’s intent with this fragrance was to suggest the odors associated with Millemiglia race cars. Smells of tires worn out by acceleration and sudden breaking blend with hints of gasoline and leather, both of which are characteristic of antique cars.

    Piccadilly '69 - Eau de Parfum

    $ 4.00

    May 1969, Piccadilly Circus – A young Richard E. Grant was wide eyed in wonderment when he firstsaw the Eros Fountain, people crammed with patchouli perfumed hippies, worlds away from his home in Swaziland.

    The scent of patchouli and petrol proved indelible. The aroma of Earl Grey Tea with it’s Bergamot baseat Fortnum & Mason and the leather chairs, were a complimentary Piccadilly mix. Seeing the ground breaking musical “Hair”, featuring full frontal nudity and catching sight of people in see-through clothes in Soho, ignited a hormonal ‘rocket’ storm, topped off when Neil Armstrong stepped down from a real one, when he set foot on the moon that July.

    Richard has bottled these heady memories, combining patchouli, petrol, bergamot, leather, musk and ginger. Once again, he worked in tandem with ‘Nose’ Alienor Massenet in Paris who expertly refined his formulas. 

    Like JACK and JACK-COVENT GARDEN, the 100ml bottle is sleeved in a Union Jack draw-string calico bag with luggage label attached to personalise once opened. And as the inscription reads on the base of the packaging ' I've been lead by my nose all my Life.

    • Top Note: Bergamot
    • Middle Notes: Ginger, petrol
    • Base Notes: Leather, musk, patchouli

    Grenadille d'Afrique - Eau de Parfum

    $ 5.00

    A tribute to ancient African Blackwood and its majestic home.

    From crackling sap to balmy resin. Smoky wood to sun-seared stone. Purple dusk to ink-black night. GRENADILLE D’AFRIQUE expresses not only its namesake tree, but also the primal landscape in which it grows.  

    “It is a surprising, uncompromising and emotional scent”, perfumer Alberto Morillas explains. “The materials are simple, stark and unadorned. It is through this density and simplicity that the fragrance turns into art."

    It begins at the African Blackwood tree, a rare, costly member of the rosewood family whose Latin name, Dalbergia melanoxylon, translates to “black wood.” The title belies the range of its wood, which moves from deep purple to brownish black and is also known as grenadilla. The Ancient Egyptians, who called it h’bny, fashioned precious furniture from its heartwood. In Tanzania, the Makonde people, who know it as mpingo, use it to create spectacular, highly prized Tree of Life carvings.

    In 2016’s GRENADILLE D'AFRIQUE, Alberto Morillas turns it into an arrestingly elegant olfactory sculpture. Run through from twigs to roots with aromatic, juniper-scented sap, the mythical African Blackwood tree is built around a “trunk" of Haitian vetiver. With its complex facets of wood, smoke, earth and flint, it is the vertical axis that draws together the fragrance’s vegetal, animal and mineral notes.

    At first breath, it's hard to say if the perfume places you in dusk or dawn. Sparkling bergamot captures the last rays of the sun, while a purple haze of lavender and violet spill their powdery moonlight on the savannah grasslands. Further in its life, vanilla, turned into combustible resin by a lash of ambery cistus labdanum, exudes a balsamic warmth. Bleached wood, skin-soft bark and sun-heated stone release the day’s heat into the ink-black night, cooled off by a breeze of musk.

    AEDES DE VENUSTAS GRENADILLE D'AFRIQUE has now been carefully transferred to a precious new 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. 

    Morillas describes his creation as “fossilized wood rubbed in a vanilla accord,” a strongly contrasted composition that sets its dark heart off with luminous notes. GRENADILLE D’AFRIQUE explores a new region in the scent-map, where woods and resins meet ink and stone.

    Notes: African blackwood accord, vetiver, cistus labdanum, juniper, vanilla, bergamot, lavender, violet. 

    Perfumer: Alberto Morillas

    La Femme Bohème - Eau de Parfum

    $ 5.00

    She travels in any direction the wind decides to blow, languid and free without the slightest worry in the world. Unbound by the restrictions of time, she follows her careless whims instead.

    The sun is already high in the sky when she wakes on a bed of hay, a resting place not unfamiliar after a night drenched in the hazy pleasures of wine.

    A soupçon of dried sweat mixed with a veil of cigarette smoke lingers on her skin, a scent intensified by the blaze of the afternoon heat. Who knows what today will hold? Life is just meant to be lived and she is La Femme Bohème.

    Marfa - Eau de Parfum

    $ 6.00

    At the junction of Routes 90 and 67, deep in the Texan ranch land, three hours from the closest airport: Marfa. A destination with a unique destiny, chosen by Memo to inaugurate its Art Land collection.

    Its bottle emblazoned with a wide-open eye provides the first clue. Marfa beckons the eye and holds its gaze. Despite the blinding sun and the irritating dust, the oldest inhabitants of this isolated American town lost on a high, arid plateau of the Chihuahuan Desert, the eye won’t waver. For Marfa has a power of attraction like no other, casting its spell on all those who come its way. This too is the property of a fragrance when it creates that magical bond.

    The encounter with Memo was thus meant to happen and did so with Tuberose Absolute: a bewitching, lingering, unforgettable flower. From the same family as Agave, which blooms at the heart of the desert and signals its presence in a top note accord, the Marfa fragrance evokes the singular nature of this white-hot land.

    • Top Notes: Mandarin, orange blossom, agave accord
    • Middle Notes: Tuberose, ylang ylang
    • Base Notes: Sandalwood, cedarwoood, vanilla, white musk

    Commune de Paris - Astier de Villatte

    $ 5.00

    For Commune de Paris – the rebellious and edgy label created by three Parisian creators of fashion and product design – Astier de Villatte and Françoise Caron have imagined Cologne 1871, a subversive Eau de Cologne.

    At first, it hits like an explosion of Sicily lemons, with rosemary and bergamot. But under its acid and cheeky exterior, Cologne 1871 hides the ineffable charm of the powdery scents characteristic of its time.

    Suave labdanum, benzoin, cedar wood and patchouli are combined with the first two synthetic molecules ever created by man – coumarin that smells like cut grass, and benzalehide that smells like almonds – giving it a unique flavour.
