10 perfumes in similar style to Business Over Pleasure by Zaharoff

Inspired by the innovative use of materials that allowed 18th century clockmakers to construct the first truly accurate marine chronometers, Lignum Vitae combines elements of wood, metal and salt to produce a truly unique, transportive fragrance. Lignum vitae itself is an incredibly dense wood - the only wood which is guaranteed to sink in water - which is indigenous to the Caribbean and the north coast of South America. The brand’s nautical theme is enhanced wonderfully by caramel, a madeleine cake accord and a cool winter lemon note which provide a truly unique gourmand experience akin to smelling warm shortbread, muffins or cupcakes.

In combining unexpected and exotic raw materials, Beaufort London celebrates the innovative spirit which brought to an end the search for lost time, and permitted the safe passage of ships across the world.

Time-honoured accord of roses and jasmine with dashing notes of orange blossom and bergamot but veers away and deepens with patchouli, cedar wood and fanned with a big hearted warm amber molecule, expertly synergised to create a perfectly balanced but hypnotic and opulent perfume.

Ambre Royal is to be treasured and trusted for it is both strong and sensual, warm but powerful.

The Orange Extraordinaire collection.

An homage to the role of spices in Western perfumery, history and culture. Naturally it’s a majestic aromatic flow of cinnamon and ginger, with numerous sparks of pepper and a rich incense background.

Perfumer: Dominique Moellhausen

The young traveller returns, memories of adventures still visceral in the mind. The quest for nirvana never satisfied. Relaxing fumes and plumes of woody smoke follow him. Gentle spices, sweet elemi and enriching patchouli tones give a richness to this aromatic green perfume. 

Inspired by Harry Potter's Felix Felicis it's a soft sparkly citrus blend with tonka-vanilla background, light-hearted and happy.

Composed by Cyrill Rolland.

The Sniff on Fortune by Brocard:

"Fortune is quite a light scent, which means that on the one hand it is very easy to wear, but on the other it probably wouldn’t suit a formal evening function. It’s very youthful and fun and made us think that it was the sort of thing best suited to taking the kids to the park or for a lunch date with friends."

Heresy is a cooling, quiet frankincense and violet leaf mix; a bit introverted and very elegant.

On one level, Baptisma is a splash of the zesty aromas of verbena and bergamot, but on another, rigorous frankincense puts that citrus chaos in order.

In this perfume you experience an unusual combination of citruses and incense, like the sudden sound of a child giggling and breaking the solemn silence in a church .

A collaboration with Miguel Matos.

Clean, abstract and intriguing. Is it the smell of the new velvet seats in a dark cinema? Or the conditioned cool air? Or the fragrant echoes of trendy perfumes floating in between the spectators?

Cinematic is put together from an overdose of clean white musk, crisp hazy cashmeran, dry savory spices and a few drops of bitter carnation essence.
