Cédrat CéruseHow many times have I raved about the perfect harmony of freshly picked fennel, passed through the mandolin, spiked with a few drops of lemon?" remarks perfumer Quentin Bisch. Born from his precious childhood memories, Cédrat Céruse radiates a joyful breath. A fragrance which boldly features fennel essential oil. A vegetable with aniseed nuances, elevated by pink pepper and lemon at the top. Coriander underlines its natural freshness, while musks offer a soft comfort.NOTES

Vétiver EcarlateVétiver Écarlate showcases the warm summer memory of tomato leaves crumpled between the fingers. A contrast between this green, acidic and fruity scent and the dark, racy notes of vetiver.
In the top notes, grapefruit and bergamot propel the freshness of the tomato leaf. The green notes of galbanum evoke the stem, while the blackcurrant bud outlines the acid and fruity nuances of the vegetable. Finally ginger adds a touch of spice to this vegetal and woody score.NOTES-

Iris de GrisA hymn to green in all its forms. How many times, while shelling fresh peas, have I dreamt of this new green fragrance?" asks perfumer Quentin Bisch. A dream shaped around galbanum, whose scent evokes that of the pea.
A green accord, raised by the freshness of mint, spiked with a zest of blood orange. The iris dresses this botanic melody with a veil of elegance, while the ambroxan invites its refined imprint on the skin.NOTES-

Musc AmaranteStraight from Quentin Bisch's childhood, Musc Amarante makes beetroot the centrepiece. The vegetable fascinating the perfumer as much by its deep purple colour as by its mysterious smell of earth and ambergris...".
Beneath the freshness of citrus fruits, a beetroot with a humus scent is revealed. An accord twisted with the spicy breath of pink pepper, held closely with silky musk and ambrette. Vetiver and ambergris anchor the dark and mysterious element of Musc Amarante on the skin.NOTES-

Mémoire de Roses
This limited edition follows a rose and citrus hybrid, one that rose designers could only dream of.
The virtuoso that he is, perfumer Christophe Raynaud was keen to ensure the rose wouldn’t be overdressed. He simply refreshed it with citrus fruits as if to immortalise the freshness of a fleeting beauty, maintaining its memory forever. Heads, Mémoire de Roses is an ode to the queen of flowers, the very incarnation of femininity. Tails, it is a joyful hymn to creativity, invention, and the art of play and counterplay.

Bois des Sables
There can be no clearer or more encompassing depiction of the perfumer’s creative obsession, crystallised around one idea: wood, wood and more wood! It was incredibly bold to create this woody bouquet, skilfully composed, blending patchouli, vetiver, sandalwood, oud and cedar in a bed of unctuous vanilla that beautifully coats this wood "forest" to nourish and then tenderise it.
"This fragrance embodies the richness and generosity of woods by combining Cypriol, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Gorjum, Cedar and Gaiac with the smoothness of Vanilla. " Christophe Raynaud

Contes du Levant
In a simple and clear writing, the perfumer wanted to capture the green and spicy scent of a damascena rose treated in majesty, just infused with sumptuous notes of incense and patchouli. He succeeds in putting in tension the freshness of this Turkish rose and the addictive warmth of the pepper and ciste trio. This fragrance, entirely structured around the favourite flower of the Orientals, deploys its aura of mystery on the skin.
"This fragrance features three vibrant peppers - white, pink and black - to enhance the iconic rose du levant, majestic in each of its facets, on a mysterious and bewitching patchouli base.” Christophe Raynaud

Fables d'Orient
You have to imagine a "flower milk" that has been brought to life in the perfumer's mind. It is a material, a texture as much as a smell. Its incarnation is the sun-radiated heliotrope flower with its unctuous and creamy fragrance. The nutmeg, with its warm, peppery scent, makes it irresistibly addictive. The last piece of the puzzle, ensuring the fragrance blends with the skin, is the magical vibration of amber and the cottony comfort of musk, which close the accord on a sensual and comforting note.
"This is an oriental fragrance that celebrates amber and the most beautiful and precious resins of frankincense and myrrh, wrapped in white iris petals and the comfort of overdosed musks. " Christophe Raynaud

Ode à l'Oudh
The perfumer had long dreamed of a fruit liquor with floral accents, as sweet as a flow of honey down the throat, with the effect almost of a mysterious potion. He made it the beating heart of the perfume, the soul, the very essence of his creation. Even in the base, the perfumer has favoured simplicity: a leathery-animal note suggested by oud wood, resonating perfectly with saffron and vanilla bean. A signature fragrance with the necessary roundness and comfort.
"This fragrance reflects the delicious opulence of vanilla, coloured with spices and adorned with vibrant woods. " Christophe Raynaud

Le Chant de Camargue
Browsing through his travel itineraries/diaries, Alberto Morillas recalled the flights of pink flamingos and the Fêtes des Prémices du Riz - rice festivals - brought to life by the incredible parade of floats.
But, first and foremost, the floral, powdery, creamy aroma of rice is indelibly etched in Alberto Morillas’s memory. This aquatic, herbaceous plant is dark green to start with. It gradually turns a beautiful shade of amber at the start of the flowering season as it bends beneath the weight of its ears.
Alberto Morillas creates a fragrance that smells "white" thanks to the aqueous floral notes of Hédione® and Paradisone® coupled with deliciously milky sandalwood and the beguiling aroma of "Camargue rice".
The tribute to this Camargue treasure trove is so realistic and the blend of aromas and sensations so perfect that you could be strolling through a real paddy field.

Légendes du Cèdre
The perfumer wanted to create an almost mystical emotion of what he nicely calls a "woody nectar" built around a creamy cedar with warm and gourmet accents of saffron and muscade nuts. The presence of the enchanting resins of ciste and labdanum evokes the warm earth of the Orient. This innovative combination of cedar and fiery spices dyes this perfume with an aura of mystery and makes the journey madly enigmatic.
"This fragrance is a woody nectar built around a creamy cedar with saffron accents”. Christophe Raynaud.
