Miréa brings the wearer a delicious dose of Riviera sun. The fruity, musky notes create a classic Molinard moment. A delicious gourmand scent by way of lychee, fressia and vanilla that smells like sophisticated spun-sugar. Miréa is a name with an allegorical allure signalling an olfactory delight; a scent that truly enchants the senses.

When a perfume says everything about you… Intime-Extime is a powdery, floral and amber scent that can be seen as a skin adornment.

The iris powder accord, incense and vanilla suggest intelligence and power. Whilst the itauba wood and carefully infused white tea gives a refreshing yet exotic complexity to this remarkable perfume.

Iris dressed in a glittering baroque costume: a spicy top, complex woody core made of Japanese oud (jinkoh),  fig tree and crunchy iris all held together with honey and wild Mexican vanilla.

This is an olfactory delight, to be worn day or night!

Composed with a delicious oriental-floral-gourmand accord ths scent is enticing from the first hit of spiced rose and coffee liquor. Hazelnut gives sophisticated accents to the orris powder, vanilla and musk. A fragrant delight for day or for night, a narcotic, guilty pleasure to succumb to without limit…

Conceptually Shermine is iris morphing into ermine, a cool woody material (which iris can be) turning into clouds of caressing powdery fantasy iris.

The perfumer hinted at the many faces of iris. Cardamom and lavender show how cool and aqueous iris can be. The Argentinian lemon note brings out the crispiness and sparkle and vanilla and musks highlight the creamy softness. Finally, clouds of classic powdery iris woodiness come out on the mix of vetiver, patchouli and guaïac wood.

The Sniff on Shermine:
"[it] is an mysterious fragrance which showcases woody notes alongside softer florals and musks. Both tantalising and bold, soft and woody, this fragrance is a changeable one that will match your every mood."

Felanilla  is a combination of feline and vanilla. It’s a seemingly relaxed arrangement of saffron, vanilla (two rare and precious varieties: Bourbon and Taihitian), hay and sweet woods but it’s a feline prowl of a scent. This vanilla is for grown-ups and is neither girly nor smells of patisserie. A precious, generous and racy combination of three absolutes (hay, iris and vanilla) resting on a fruity woods base.

A unique collection of eight 2ml Imaginary Authors fragrance samples.

March 1930, London

A group of architects gather for cocktails at Mayfair's smartest Art Deco smoking room. As they settle in the warm interior of dark woods, leather and velvet, London's bright young things burst in, frosted martinis in hand, surrounded by a cloud of laughter - white smoke and fine vanilla.

A sweet fragrance with floral and balsamic notes that comforts, transports and illuminates. Its exceptional bouquet envelops us in softness and transports us to an eternal summer.

Perfumer: Serge de Oliveira

"I wanted to imagine the quintessence of floral elegance. This precious flower opens with a radiant freshness, before revealing a smooth and delicate heart. Over the hours, the note becomes comforting and enveloping, an invitation to savor each moment of calm before the world comes alive."

A full-on fruity floral goumond. Radiant goosbury and ylang-ylang work in harmony for a delightfully delectible effect. Shavings of sweet woods is created by cedarwood and jasmine which are encased in honeyed amber. A background of vanilla enriches the oriental effect with hints of leather giving a rounded diffusion.
