A fruity that ends powdery, and the iris is the key to the turn.
— The opening is frank and juicy: orange, lemon, pineapple. Pineapple in the top notes gives that sweet acidity that wakes you up without attacking — a joyful entrance.
— Then the heart changes register completely. The jasmine brings the flower, the pink pepper the sparkle, and the iris the powder. Iris is the most expensive material in classical perfumery: it is extracted from the root after three years of drying, and it smells of rice powder, cold butter and violet. It is what gives this fragrance its dressed-up air.
— The base holds for a long time: vanilla, musk, vetiver, patchouli, amber. The vetiver and patchouli are there for earth and wood, the vanilla and amber for softness. Balance.
Who it is for: someone who wants a fruity fragrance that does not stay a sweet. The fruit-iris-wood progression is well made and gets noticed.
All year, day or evening. Long wear, moderate projection.

Twenty-one materials announced. It is the most loaded pyramid in the whole catalogue, and the name — mélange — is honest.
— The opening is a greengrocer's display: strawberry, blackcurrant, peach, plum, apple, coconut. Six fruits, plus nutmeg and basil. The basil is the detail to remember: it is an aromatic herb, green and aniseed, which cuts the sugar of the fruits and keeps the opening from turning into syrup. Without it, the whole thing would be unreadable.
— The heart is a bouquet in five voices: iris, orchid, jasmine, lily of the valley, rose. White flowers, powder, rose — this is the most classic part of the fragrance.
— The base is a landscape: moss, patchouli, cedar, sandalwood, ambergris, musk, vanilla, tonka bean. Earth, wood, musk and sugar. Eight materials to hold twenty-one up.
Honestly: a fragrance with twenty-one materials rarely smells like twenty-one materials. In practice what you perceive is a powdery, warm fruity floral, pleasant and broad. That is not a flaw, it is the nature of the exercise.
Spring, autumn, daytime. Average to long wear.

Cherry and cola.
— The opening is a black cherry — the candied cherry, not the sour one — lifted by cinnamon and nutmeg, with a Sicilian lemon to cut through it. It is already a dessert.
— The heart is the signature: the cola accord, which in perfumery is a blend of citrus, vanilla and spices reconstructing the smell of the drink. Indonesian patchouli anchors it in the earth and orange blossom airs it out.
— The base is long and warm: Brazilian tonka bean, benzoin, vanilla, labdanum. Benzoin and labdanum are two resins — they give that smell of sweet, slightly smoky balm that carries the fragrance through the whole evening.
Who it is for: someone who wants a fragrance that is fun, instantly recognisable, and gets remarked on. It is the only cherry-cola in the catalogue.
75 ml format. Autumn, winter, evenings. Long wear, sustained projection.
