(fragrance descriptions by the respective brands)
GOLDFIELD & BANKS | MYSTIC BLISS
“Mystic Bliss reflects upon the Aurora Australis, adorning the starry night sky over Tasmania. Cooled by pure Antarctic air, the delicate violet hues of fig fruit and cassis lend colour to aromatic notes of native Kunzea, cardamom, clary sage and immortelle. The vigour of cedarwood and hypnotic incense fused with the powdery softness of orris leaves a celestial trail that is grounding, calming and addictive. Opening with a breeze of top notes evoking Flinders Island’s diverse impressions, Mystic Bliss is at once bracing and beautiful. Kunzea Accord – woodsy, aromatic and restorative – melds seamlessly with the resinous pepperiness, the warmth of oliban to capture the island’s ancient and untouched feel. Fig and mint add a layer of freshness, a cool touch, with the fig growing ever more ripe in the presence of cardamon and cassis. Evolving, the heart notes unfurl, dancing through the composition as if taking cue from the Aurora Australis lights.”
MAISON FRANCIS KURKDJIAN | APOM
“APOM. A poetic, mysterious acronym. A carnal eau de parfum with a sensually luminous, radiant, and generous sillage. A Part of Me: a part of yourself that you leave with others, your own personal story that gets told with every wear. An intimate conversation between fragrance and skin, where scents come to life. A floral, aromatic ambery fragrance, APOM unveils an immediately familiar signature. Luminous top notes give way to a soft, floral heart – a skillful balance of aromatic, bursting lavender and addictively generous orange blossom wrapped in a warm and airy sillage. Ylang-ylang lends its sunny accords to vanilla, which unfurls in the comforting embrace of white musks. An intimate fragrance that hugs the contours of both body and personality. Olfactory notes Orange blossom, Lavender, Ambery Woody Accord.”
CREED | CENTAURUS
“Inspired by one of the largest constellations, Centaurus is a universal woody amber perfume that burns bright with plumes of incandescent tobacco ignited by potent pink pepper, fiery cinnamon and spicy cardamom. This dazzling display is tempered by the voluptuous light of sandalwood, the delicate hues of jasmine and the gentle glow of heliotrope, reminiscent of stars blooming in the night sky. The sensual woody amber backdrop of Centaurus is painted with the forceful presence of patchouli, the dark honeyed notes of tonka bean and the deep richness of Bourbon vanilla, which together leave an enduring star-powered glow. Unbridled Magnitude: Centaurus is a wild and fiery fragrance that captures the unbridled magnitude of the largest constellation in the night sky. It burns bright with smoky incandescent tobacco before yielding to sumptuous swirls of sandalwood and voluptuous Bourbon vanilla at its base. A Bold And Bright Bottle: Centaurus is housed in the signature Creed bottle, a sleek and sophisticated design that traces the elegant shape of a classic gentlemen’s hip flask. The red hue of the glass is as bold and bright as the fragrance contained within, echoing its star-powered inspiration. A Dazzling Duo: Centaurus sits within The Amber Universe, a dazzling duo of woody amber fragrances, inspired by the warmth and wonder of the night sky. Presented as an alluring pair of amber collectibles, these cosmic creations envelope the wearer with sensuality in their own way.”

Only better with age – Old Fashioned is a new fragrance of heritage and sophistication, transporting you to the Scottish Highlands, fireside inside a family estate, layered with generations.
