Tom Ford Oud Minérale
A reinterpretation of oud as only Tom Ford could achieve, this invigorating and captivating Signature version blends oud with marine notes while woody elements embrace sensual musks for a fusion of contrasting elements.

H24 Herbes Vives by Hermès Parfums
Herbes Vives comes into play when rain catches a man mid-stride. Transforming the perception of space, rain ignites the green of vegetation into a multitude of shades and scents through a bouquet of fresh aromatic herbs—savory, sorrel, hemp, and parsley—whose scent intensifies after the storm. A granité pear and Physcool®, a sensory molecule with mint notes, leave a surprising feeling of freshness on the skin. Available from February.
Hermessence Oud Alezan by Hermès Parfums
A few years ago, Christine Nagel, Hermès perfumer, visited the stables of the Saut Hermès horse show. Approaching the last box, a chestnut horse came so close that it brushed her face with its head. For the first time, she sensed the primal aromas of muscles warmed by effort, the velvet breath of the animal mixed with the smell of sawdust. That warm, intoxicating animal scent stayed with her, later becoming the starting point for a new story. When Christine Nagel discovered an exceptional oud, a divine essence with warm and sensual notes, the hidden memory resurfaced. The new Hermessence, with its simple and direct composition, reconstructs the emotion of this original disturbance: Oud Alezan pairs oud with rose oxide and rose hydrosol, recalling the scent of petals. A chance idyll between two materials with unique sensorial qualities that seem destined to blend since time immemorial. Available from February.
Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka Cologne Intense
Golden dunes of Namibia, home to extraordinary myrrh trees. The seductive scent of its resin travels through the warm air, blending with the warm notes of almond and vanilla from tonka bean, noble and intoxicating.
Olfactive Studio Lumière Blanche
A soft and enveloping fragrance, Lumière Blanche is a reassuring cocoon, balancing milky sweetness and cold spices; it’s a warm-cold accord that creates a fragrance full of contrasts but with creamy sweetness.
Zadig&Voltaire THIS IS REALLY HIM!
The sparkling notes of grapefruit and lemon intensify when combined with a unique metallic accord of orange blossom. All is mixed with a delicate woody accord of Palo Santo, warmed by amber notes, completing this nocturnal adventure.
Ella K Camelia K
A marriage of ginger, dragon fruit, and mandarin invites us to cross the threshold of a voluptuous paradise. This creation poetically evokes desire, enveloped in the sensuality of vanilla, vetiver, and patchouli, emerging from an intense bouquet of orange blossom, red camellia, and sambac jasmine.
Silky Woods Elixir by Goldfield & Banks
Silky Woods Elixir is an ode to agarwood secretly harvested in northern tropical Australia. It opens with a swirl of green aromas, as lush as the foliage of agarwood groves, heightened with the lush notes of fig. This intensity is met by iris root, adding a refreshing touch, and rose gives a delightful floral dimension to the heart. As the elixir deepens, Tolu balsam weaves a rich tapestry, infusing warmth and complexity to the base of oud, saffron threads, musk, and oakmoss.
JUBILATION 40 MAN by Amouage
Luxurious and deep, it celebrates masculinity that embraces the beauty of the East and the West. At first, the unmistakable opening of blackberry reveals crisp and soft notes of blackcurrant. This initial explosion then gives way to a majestic heart: Scottish gorse unfolds its honeyed and elegant waxy notes, while regal incense cuts through the intoxicating narcotic of warm balsamic resins. The extrait develops into a warm and enveloping base. Patchouli, cistus, musks, grey amber, vetiver, cypriol, and cedarwood capture the essence of refinement.
Antonio Marras Ziqqurath Eau de Parfum
With its delicate and singular periwinkle color, this enveloping and majestic fragrance adds elegance with noble charm. It’s an oriental scent that starts with notes of coffee, almond, and bergamot, unveiling a vibrant heart of geranium and cardamom before reaching a sumptuous base of benzoin and amber.
Serge Lutens L’Orpheline Limited Edition
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of L’Orpheline, one of the Maison’s most iconic fragrances, a new limited edition is released with a graphic design personally curated by Serge Lutens. This fragrance replicates a mystery belonging to childhood, purity, and the most crystalline aspects of adulthood. L’Orpheline evokes the beauty of powder: invisible, delicate, light. Its olfactory notes range from white incense to dry woods and black pepper.
Ambre Superfluide Les Eaux Primordiales
The fragrance evokes the image of a long winter day spent by the fire with aromas of apple pie, cinnamon, and gingerbread emerging from the oven and enveloping the atmosphere. Oriental notes of spices and honey add character and sweetness to this reassuring moment. The rum and tobacco accord finally gives an intense, liquor-like touch. Ambre Superfluide Les Eaux Primordiales is a comfort in a velvet armchair during complete relaxation.
304 Bon Parfumeur
304 Bon Parfumeur is a ticket to the most elegant coast of Europe, the French Riviera. The fragrance opens with lively notes of bergamot and ginger, anticipating a day that unfolds like a captivating story. The heart is a delicate almond blossom, enriched by the sensuality of cumin, a carnal and spicy note that captures and inspires the journey. The base of cedar and vetiver provides stability and depth to the composition.
BOSS The Scent Elixir for Him
Created by Perfumer Nelly Hachem-Ruiz, it opens with a tantalizing explosion of red pepper that evokes a complex, spicy, and provocative aroma. In the heart, a vibrant absolute of organic lavender—derived from Provence through an enfleurage process—captures with its vibrant energy. The composition is enriched with a delicate and woody base of fine Caledonian sandalwood.
Natural Monotheme Cedar Wood
The olfactory memory of an ancient garden hidden in the city center. A green fragment of nature nestled among buildings, attracting us with hints of juicy bergamot and vibrant pink pepper. The heart of the garden is permeated with intoxicating lavender bushes, whose scent blends with intense notes of geranium and poppy flowers. The experience is sealed by earthy notes of patchouli, enriched by the sweet tones of tonka bean and the warm nuances of cedarwood.
L’Artisan Parfumeur ABYSSAE Eau de Parfum
Daphné Bugey invites you with Abyssae to the seventh episode of La Botanique, L’Artisan Parfumeur’s unique collection. It’s a distinctive experience inspired by marine depths, places where, paradoxically, the sense of smell loses all meaning. Closing your eyes, you can inhale the calming essence of eucalyptus softened by rose, in a calm dialogue with comforting cashmeran. Digging deeper reveals a treasure: grey amber.
