All Fragrances

Bois d'Ébène by Matière Première is a woody fragrance for women and men built around Paraguayan guaiac wood - smoked, resinous, faintly sweet - with juniper berries cutting the opening and cypriol and patchouli grounding the base in dry earth. There is no citrus, no flower and no sugar anywhere in it; the wood simply gets warmer and rounder as the hours pass. "Like stepping into an old library of polished wood and lingering smoke."

Radical Rose by Matière Première is a floral woody fragrance for women and men - Turkish rose stripped of every soft, powdery habit and rebuilt on saffron, pepper, patchouli and labdanum, so the flower arrives dark, spiced and faintly metallic instead of pretty. It opens sharp, settles onto an earthy amber floor within the hour, and stays there most of a day. "Bold, rich and almost untamed - a dark red rose blooming under moonlight."

Panettone by Milano Fragranze is a Gourmand Citrus fragrance for women and men - Mathilde Bijaoui's Milanese pastry, candied peel and all. Bitter orange, mandarin and ginger cut through first, bright and zesty, then rum and honeyed immortelle bring the doughy warmth. Vanilla and buckwheat finish it buttery without turning heavy. "Candied orange and buttery pastry - December in a bottle."

Basilica by Milano Fragranze is an Aromatic Woody fragrance for women and men - Violaine Collas's cathedral at dusk, incense still hanging in the air. Thyme and rosemary open sharp and herbal, then milk softens the incense into something warm and human. Virginia cedar and cypriol oil close it dry, smoky and still. "Incense and candlelight, edged in herbs - stone walls and a held note."

Purple Molécule 070.07 by Zarkoperfume is an Oriental Vanilla fragrance for women and men - Zarko Ahlmann Pavlov's white florals resting on a bed of Madagascar vanilla. White orchid, magnolia and wildflowers open airy and clean, then the vanilla arrives creamy rather than sugary. Musk and sandalwood stretch it out long and low. "White orchid over Madagascar vanilla - creamy, never cloying."

Lazy Sunday Morning by Maison Margiela is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women and men - Louise Turner's reproduction of clean bed linen and unhurried daylight. Aldehydes and lily-of-the-valley give it that fresh-laundry snap, softened by pear, rose and iris. Ambrette, patchouli leaf and white musk keep it close and comfortable all day. "Clean sheets and no alarm set - REPLICA's best-loved memory."

Paris Sao Paulo by Carven is an Oriental Spicy fragrance for women - cinnamon and dark rum poured over vanilla. Bergamot lifts the opening just enough, then cardamom, labdanum and orange blossom give the spice room to breathe. Tonka bean and patchouli finish it warm, boozy and unmistakably nocturnal. "Rum, cinnamon and vanilla - the cold-weather scent that does the talking."

Paris Santorin by Carven is a Floral Green fragrance for women and men - Marine Ipert's ode to fig, leaf and fruit both. Green fig leaf, bergamot and pink pepper open cool and sappy, then the fruit itself arrives with iris and honeyed immortelle. Sandalwood, cashmeran and tonka bean dry it down soft and milky. "Fig leaf and sun-warm fruit - a whitewashed terrace in scent."

Musk Kashmir by Attar Collection is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women and men - white musk with a peppery edge and gardenia laid over the top. White pepper and cloves keep it from ever turning powdery-sweet, and creamy sandalwood holds the base steady. Skin-close, warm, and closer to a second skin than a statement. "White musk, pepper and sandalwood - the one you forget you put on until someone leans in."

The Queen of Sheba by Attar Collection is an Oriental fragrance for women - velvet peach laid over tobacco leaf and a thread of incense. Tuberose, jasmine and red rose bloom in the heart, big and unhurried, cut with a flash of citrus. Amber and white musk give the finish its warmth and its weight. "Peach and tuberose over tobacco - a room-quieting kind of floral."
