Spiritually, four symbolizes the wholeness of the universe, four elements, four seasons, four cardinal points, connecting us all. Kajal IV spirits us to the wilderness of the African savannah, drawing a straight line between the dawn of humans to our ever-expanding world. The undulating golden panorama caressed by sultry heat is expressed by date-sweetened leather, studded with cardamom and brushed with rum. Vanilla and musk softens and beckons.

As the sun sinks over the dense tropical forest, civets emerge warily from the thickets. Under a carpet of narcotic flower blossoms, a smattering of coffee berries peppers the ground. The moist air is heavy with mossy aromas that penetrate every crevice, but the musky scent of the civets dominates; their marked territory daring one to enter at one’s own risk.

Civet pays homage to the age-old ingredient, civet, as well as chypre perfumes of bygone days – perfumes that refused to be intimidated by raw, alluring, animalistic musks. Civet is a moody and complex brew entwined in mystery. It opens with a spicy floral accord, threaded through with dark coffee tones. Slowly it prowls forward, unraveling base notes of leather, moss and vanilla that combines with distinctive civet musk to create a bewildering, sophisticated scent with the promise of a sultry nighttime rendezvous.

Aomassaï is a combination of amer (French for bitter), oriental and Maasai (a reference to the fact that the fragrance had been inspired by Africa with its dry seasons and bushfires as well as voodoo magic). All the ingredients come in some kind of roasted, grilled or burnt state to create a somber and bitter fragrance, a perfect “olfactory bitterness”.

“On a track through an unforgiving desert, starting point and destination are indistinguishable from one another. Terra-cotta hued dunes twist and writhe, their shapes ever shifting. Only the merciless sun and aloof constellations can be trusted to point the way. Weighed down by treasures; some tempting the eyes with their glittering sheen, others enticing with exotic aromas, the camel plods towards a far off marketplace. Water is but a dream now, the taste of sweet dates a distant memory. There is nothing but an endless ocean of sand.” - Zoologist.

Every year, millions across China journey home to reunite with family for Lunar New Year. Spring Festival captures this joyous season with notes of mandarin, plum blossom, and candied hawthorn. A scent of celebration and belonging.

Many ancient cultures revered rubies, believing these sacred stones to be immortal emblems of love, vitality and the unyielding pulse of life itself. Ruby opens with a burst of red berries, pineapple, and juicy, juicy cherries. Much like cherry blossoms, cherries conjure the delicate and fleeting nature of life, a reminder of moments to be savoured. The heart notes swirl with whipped cream and brown sugar, before settling into a rich fusion of musk, amber and benzoin.

Some of us have known it, others have yet to experience it, but we are all waiting or looking for it. It will come. True love is an eternal beginning again

This perfume features extract of Swedish alder (a unique material, exclusive to this blend), delicious sweet amber and fruity nuances. It’s a very cozy soft woody blend, exuding ambery radiance of wood warmed by the sun.

From LO’s Parfum Intense collection, this is an amber with the darkness turned up to 11. There’s no white space here, just expensive raw materials piled high. Its vibrant opening with fruity notes is enriched by the bitterness of coffee, deepening into a powerful chorus of rose, iris, jasmine and lily of the valley. And this valley is a deep one, a soft black expanse of leather, nagarmotha and patchouli, cushioned by a dirtier-than-usual amber.
