There’s a tantalising friction in the smell of iris root. It’s austere, but tender. It can be powdery, but it also suggests leather. Depending on the context, it can read as feminine or masculine. Iris Ardent resolves this fabled material’s dissonance in a compelling eau de parfum that balances all of iris’ contradictions. The opening spikes of cypress and vetiver provide the scaffolding for cushiony amber and powdery iris. Juniper’s bright twang illuminates the darkness of incense and moss. Intellectual, but accessible.

A journey between citrus freshness and spicy oriental notes that captivates and intoxicates. A fragrance to awaken our senses and elevate our consciousness.

Perfumer: Serge de Oliveira

"In the summer, to refresh my mind, I like to walk along the paths of lemon trees, filled with sunshine and light. The smell of the barely ripe lemons is intoxicating and lively and mixes with the purity of the air. Eau de Thé & Gingembre transcribes this sensation of freshness. It is a cologne with sparkling citrus fruits enhanced with a floral heart and a spicy note of ginger. Its bright scent is ideal for me for hot summer days."

‘O absent presence, Stella is not here’

The fifth and final instalment of the Revenants collection draws inspiration from the Elizabethan poet Sir Philip Sidney. In his Sonnet sequence ‘Astrophel and Stella’ Sidney develops and captures the essence of a haunting… the presence of one that is always felt but never seen.

‘Now I, wit-beaten long by hardest fate,

So dull am, that I cannot look into

The ground of this fierce love and lovely hate,

Then some good body tell me how I do,

Whose presence absence, absent presence is;

Blesst in my curse, and cursed in my bliss.’

Early morning, October 1175, Calabria

The cool night air dissipates under the sun’s first rays. The ripe citrus in the field has absorbed all the water of the morning dew and the farmers are ready to work on the misty green fields, speckled by the bright yellow of the citron. They leave their woody cabin and take a deep breath…
