An olfactory rendition of the iconic Japanese peach もも. From the opening salvo of green calling forth the unripe fruit, this eau de parfum gradually matures to the peach’s full sweetness and delicacy, with creamy sandalwood and musk folding in a velvety accord. The voluptuousness of tuberose suggests the sensuality hidden deep within.

Luminous minimalism: a combination of sweet scent of ripe figs and sycamore wood. The sweet aspect is further highlighted by white peach and the woody by tuberose and musks. The fragrance title is a reference to the Villa Kérylos at Côte d’Azur. It stands on a cliff surrounded by the sea on one side and a fragrant garden on the other.

With a dizzying effect on the senses, tuberose exudes opulence and olfactory that might only a master perfumer can tame. Bursting with sunshine, this white flower from Grasse unleases a soft, voluptuous perfume. A honeyed top note gradually develops over a base sandalwood and white musk.

This original interpretation of the flower ushers in a world of prestige, with a hint of oriental mystery. A fantasy for the sensory imagination.

Not just a fine addition to luxury white chocolate chip cookies, macadamia is also an intriguing perfume material. Creamy, buttery and velvety, it’s the starting point for this unusual fruity floral. The floral is mimosa, a cute li’l flower that looks innocent, but plays dirty. Don’t let those fluffy yellow pom-poms fool you — mimosa’s got a raunchy side thanks to its dusty niff of overripe honey. Orris doubletracks mimosa’s powderiness, while peach twins mimosa’s earthy sweetness. Mellow sandalwood steers macadamia from a nut to wood. Macadamia? That’s Ms Macadamia to you.

Noblemen becoming highwaymen, women becoming men, Englishmen becoming Arabs and prostitutes becoming clergy. Here is a gathering of misfits, the rich, famous and infamous all shrouded in drapery of varying deception as one steps into another world for an evening of flirtation, posturing and risqué conduct.

An elixir to give oneself airs of grandeur and mystique. A complex silky composition, comprised of ambrée and chypre fragrant qualities, A Masquerade is an exquisite companion for social occasions and long evenings, befitting those that seek an alluring presence.

Bright apple and peach notes kick off this friendly fruity floral. Freesia, radiant and fresh, unfurls a sweet carpet of florals in its wake: jasmine, rose and ylang-ylang. Sandalwood and musk keep the edges soft.

Ah the wiliness of youth! You think that fresh face shines with only innocence, until a feral cunning presents itself. Disco Inferno starts off playing the game with happy-sappy pear and peach blossom, frangipani and pineapple. Then you realise oud and soft woods are at work behind scenes, allowing that innocent visage into places they should never be allowed.

Inspired by the weightlessness of a day without plans or obligations. Effervescent top notes of ripe peach and bergamot levitate over wild orchid, crisp linen and sequoia wood. Aldehydes swirl airy musk in a cloud around you.

Hélène Napoleone was the daughter of Napoleon’s last lover, Albine de Montholon, and although it was never confirmed if the now-exiled Emperor was indeed her father, he did give her his name, so…? Her namesake fragrance is a vivacious bouquet of fruits and florals, headlined by sparkling pear and creamy magnolia. The charm deepens with the amber base, warmed by sandalwood and patchouli.
