- Evoking the wooden cabins built by farmers during the citrus fruit harvests in Medieval Calabria. L'ETROG opens with sparkly notes of citron, candied lemon and green bergamot, nestled in a woody enveloping background of tree branches, palm fronds and a subtly sweet heart of Mediterranean date fruit. A citrus chypre fragrance for both men and women. With notes of: Calabrese citron, myrtle, date fruit and vetiver.
- In Aztec Mexico, flowers were an august offering to gods and princes. Transporting you to a temple altar where heaps of flowers exude their intoxicating scent, FLOR Y CANTO is a white floral fragrance with a subtle copal incense base. Focusing on the highest quality natural essences and absolutes of five native Mexican flowers: Mexican tuberose, magnolia grandiflora, plumeria, marigold and wild acacia.
- The olfactive snapshot of Louis XIV and the French Court in 1660. A reconstruction of authentic perfume formulas from the 17th century, improved upon by contemporary perfumery. FLEUR DE LOUIS is a classic French bouquet using the most fashionable flowers of the French court, set on woody base representing the wooden walls of a Royal pavilion. A decidedly regal and refined scent retaining the subtlety of the highest quality naturals. With notes of: Orange blossom, Florentine orris, jasmine and cedar wood.
- ANIMA DULCIS is an olfactive reconstruction of Viceregal Mexico: the mineral notes of the tile floors and stucco walls, the cedar wood and pine beams, and the gilded altars give way to a recipe of spiced chocolate at its heart. The incense from the church mixes with the kitchen spices, creating an evocative Baroque concoction for both men and women. Notes include: Cocoa absolute, Mexican vanilla, cinnamon, and a smoked chili infusion.
- BOUTONNIÈRE NO.7 is a gardenia on a gentleman's lapel...the crisp, hyper-realistic gardenia blended with the fresh and botanical notes of a citrus and lavender cologne. The re-imagined Opera flower of Belle Époque Paris, worn by dandies and beloved by their admirers, with notes of: Lavender, bergamot, Italian mandarin, gardenia jasminoides/gardenia citriodora duo, genet absolute, vetiver and oak moss.
