Inspired by the mythical nectar of the gods, Ambrosia opens with the sweet, delicate notes of plumeria and mango, layered with the lush richness of peach, lychee, and coconut. The heart reveals the creamy depth of heliotrope, musk, and guava, while wafts of French orris, Mysore and Sri Lankan sandalwood, Indian tuberose and vintage Ethiopian civet evoke a divine atmosphere—capturing the essence of heavenly indulgence.

White is a bright and lively fragrance built around the friction between hot spices and suave florals. The cinnamon, clove and cardamom opening suggests candied red hots, which makes it all the more surprising when the melange of rose de Mai and lily of the valley softly asserts itself. The undertone of tagete, with its bitter herbalness, keeps White from getting too “pretty-pretty”.

Tropical-la-la-la! Guava Sorbet sings out with juicy mandarin, fresh guava and tart passionfruit. This abundance of tropical playfulness gets a posh gloss with peachy osmanthus and sultry jasmine. It’s sunshine in a bottle.

Matilde Bonaparte, niece of Napoleon I, was known for her breasts (“le plus beau décolleté”) and her talent as a painter. She also hosted a celebrated 19th-century Parisian salon attended by the greatest artists and writers of her time. This namesake perfume is an olfactory salon of provocative white florals (ylang-ylang, narcissus, jasmine) given tropical succulence with passion fruit and papaya. Mathilde’s heady brightness is softened by iris and sandalwood.

A contemporary orange blossom cologne.

The dream of a luxury summer resort, where the sky is pink and the guests are from outer space. Languages from Earth and beyond blend in an excited babble as waitstaff weave through the cabanas with tropical cocktails and yuzu sorbet. You hold a piece of strange alien fruit up to the blue sun, and suddenly the planet is awash in neon yellow.

Solar Wind transcends citrus, capturing the celestial journey of the sun's charged particles across space. Fiery orange and rhubarb erupt, mimicking solar flares, before cascading into a radiant sparkling heart of guava and strawberry.

Stone Cap: 100% strawberry quartz

A carefree fruity progression of sweet citruses, honeyed jasmine and delicious mango.

Nirmala means “pure” in Hindi and the perfume is a bright generous formula akin in its vibes to the colorful Holi festival of colors. A celebration which involves people throwing colored powder on each other and squirting each other with water guns.

This fragrance captures the essence of a Chinese summer — the tingling mint and cool eucalyptus of dusky mountain air, the aromatics of shiso, lavender and chamomile as the darkness deepens, the grounding woods and greens of cypress, vetiver and galbanum. A dream of summer rewritten — nostalgic and gently magical.

Hakka is Japanese mint, which contains a higher concentration of menthol than the more familiar peppermint. This eau de parfum is an irresistible call and response between leafy green hakka, and the clear-as-a-bell appeal of jasmine, lily and lotus. White musk softly sustains this delicate, revivifying experience. Note: you may feel a cooling sensation from the minty menthol when applying on skin.
