LOUIS VUITTON | LV LOVERS
“The scent of the sun is a sensation. Born from a creative dialogue between Pharrell Williams and Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, LV Lovers captures the light which is the essence of the LV Lovers community. Echoing this philosophy of sunlight as a metaphor for love and a source of life, Louis Vuitton Master Perfumer conveys in perfume the scent of the sun illuming the skin. Transcribing the vitalising power of light in Nature, LV Lovers reveals vibrant green notes of galbanum energised by the clean crispness of ginger and grounded in the woody intensity of cedarwood. An elixir of well-being distilled in a bottle refracting light. Key notes: Ginger, Galbanum, Cedarwood, Sandalwood.”
TOM FORD | NEROLI PORTOFINO PARFUM
“Neroli Portofino Parfum captures an amplified dimension of bold citrus. A double concentration of neroli accord is heightened with the fresh vibrancy of Italian blood orange, opulent white florals and a sensual ambermusk.
CARTIER | PUR LILAS
“Pur Lilas captures the feeling of being enveloped by nature. It’s a piece of living high jewelry. With the freshest white lilac that’s very lightly rose-tinted, it gives the sensation of having a few lilac clusters wrapped around the neck; alive, fresh and beautifully delicate.”
CAROLINA HERRERA | AMAZONIAN ROSE
“Amazonian Rose evokes a stroll through the legendary gardens of La Vega, Carolina Herrera’s childhood home in Caracas, with this exuberant floral woody fragrance. In this paradise stood the stunning Rosa de Venezuela tree – a spectacular scarlet-hued bloom that not only represents the beauty of Venezuela but serves as a metaphor for Carolina herself. This lush, floral woody fragrance is an olfactory interpretation of the Rosa de Venezuela. At its core is Damask rose, prized for its delicate, earthy, and romantic scent, preceded by spicy top notes of sustainably grown Guatemalan cardamom. The base is predominated by Mexican copal, a magical and luxurious accord famous for its sweet, ambery staying power. Top Notes: Mandarin & Cardamom. Heart Notes: Damask Rose & Mate. Bottom Notes: Sandalwood & Incense.”
CHOPARD | LEATHER MALAKI
“A powerful new Eau de Parfum for men that delves into the heart of leather. Created for modern explorers irresistibly drawn to unreachable destinations, this aromatic woody perfume possesses mineral and smoky accents. A fragrance with a fiery impulse of leather that blends into a mineral burst of freshness. The fragrance opens with a biting note of bergamot essence and black pepper, evoking an intensely aromatic breeze sweeping across the land. Alaskan cedar essence chiseled with woody, spiced traits lends structure and radiance to the leathery-mineral accord. This accord unveils a unique, profound olfactory duality wherein warm, smoky notes contrast with a compelling minerality. Created for modern wayfarers who are irresistibly drawn to wide-open spaces and dizzying heights, Leather Malaki is an exhilarating, boundless breath of life.”
CELINE | ZOUZOU
“Zouzou, echoing the lively and slender allure sported by 60’s icons – faces from movies and literature. The eternal Parisienne constantly reinvented by Hedi Slimane. An addictive balmy accord with caramel overtones. An ambery composition with the powdery trail that signs the Celine Haute Parfumerie collection. Notes: Benzoin, Tonka Bean, Patchouli, Labdanum, Vanilline, Musk.”
BVLGARI | ALLEGRA MAGNIFYING NEROLI

In the midst of this freshness, a hint of spice, of pink peppercorn from Brazil, lightly smoked by incense and framed with sandalwood, both balsamic and nuanced. Sempre Mio: A perfume like a second skin. Fresh and sparkling like its Calabrian bergamot, grounded and mystical like its cedarwood, intense and sharp like its orange blossom from Morocco. The fragrance by master perfumer Quentin Bisch tells the story of Delfina’s attachment to her roots in a natural expression of pure emotion. La Baguette: The universal appeal of the Baguette has been captured in a fragrance by master perfumer Anne Flipo. A floral, powdery iris from France imbues it with the sophistication of the iconic bag. Behind it, a Madagascar vanilla: the indulgence of a sweet dessert, a pleasure to share. Uniting them, a sensual, velvety leather note. Dolce Bacio: A perfume like a garden overlooking the city, green and floral, woody and earthy. The fragrance by master perfumer Anne Flipo has the sparkle of a sweet, sunny apricot and the dry, smoky accents of Indonesian patchouli. In the middle of the accord, Damascene rose from Turkey, powerful and velvety, ample and embracing. Casa Grande: The oriental fragrance by Quentin Bisch is an embodiment of Fendi’s history, harmonious and complex, with the radiance of spicy Somali myrrh, the mellowness and sensuality of amber, the creaminess of luscious cherry, and the warm embrace of leather. Balancing the strength of the Maison with its innate intimacy, vanilla and tonka bean absolute.”
