This fragrance evokes the bittersweet beauty of love lost and longed for. The complex sweetness of lychee and davana lead into the plush pleasures of rose oil, oud, leather and musk, sharpened with incense. The poetry of memories.

Pluie de Soleil is a sunny fruity floral. Lemon and bergamot give Pluie de Soleil a fresh opening followed by delicate hints of freesia, white peach and strawberry.

The central fruity floral facet rests on a base of sandalwood, cashmeran and vanilla. With its title translating as 'It’s raining Sun’ Pluie de Soleil is a joyful, vivacious fragrance evocative of a Mediterranean summer.

A juicy fruity fragrance with a magnolia heart and lots of bergamot sparkle.

Lively and full of contrasts, Dancing Light is a reflection of the northern lights that inspired it. Icy mint and Siberian pine needles bring a breath of coolness. Then a bouquet of bright white flowers with jasmine, neroli and seringa, dances in the heart warmed by the sandalwood.

Perfumer: Sidonie Lancesseur

When Japan opened up trade and travel to the rest of the world in the mid 19th century, it influenced art, theatre, architecture and philosophy across Europe. Edo Park is an olfactory portrait of Japan through the eyes of the West, with osmanthus as the centrepiece. An iconic flower of Asian culture, osmanthus has a complex blend of apricot, tea and soft leather. In this extrait, this sophisticated but sunny floral is enhanced with notes of citrus, freesia and Siberian pine.

The charismatic and dashing French sailor steps from his sailboat, the late afternoon breeze ruffles his hair. The atmosphere is warm and salty. With graceful haste he seeks refined refreshment on a beautifully manicured lawn. Suave and impressive. With notes of green grass, sweet freesia and musk. 

Vents & Marrées whafts a gentle veil of fresh sweetness; ethereal and sunny. In this perfume Molinard conjures a romantic rendezvous on the beach. A couple lulled by the gentle melody of the waves; with rose and marine accord. A delicate harmony of sea spray with the elegance of white flowers and a sweet moment remembered by the gourmand presence of vanilla.

Beaufort’s latest fragrance, the confounding and aquatic leaning Fathom V, broadly takes it’s cues from Shakespeare. Throughout The Tempest, the writer conjures vivid images of violent weather, shipwrecks and magical islands but the name Fathom V itself stems from a phrase gleaned from ‘Ariel’s Song’ within the play:

“Full fathom five thy father lies; 
Of his bones are coral made; 
Those are pearls that were his eyes: 
Nothing of him that doth fade, 
But doth suffer a sea-change 
Into something rich and strange.”

The idea of this ’sea-change’ and the constant tidal flux of the sea is properly explored in Fathom V with the overdosed use of contrasting materials: salt and earth, fragrant herbs and mosses, pleasant floral notes and intense dark spices encompassing and outlining the push and pull of the oceanic torrents. 

Grooming Guru on Fathom V:

"Fathom V’s cleverness lies in its ability to take the concept of an aquatic fragrance and turn it on its head. Instead of following the bright and breezy, surf’s up approach that so many marine scents take, it plots an entirely different course, taking the wearer on a dark, foggy, Gothic adventure that conjures up images of dark, 17th century sea ports full of smugglers, ships with moss-covered hulls and illegally obtained barrels of spice."
