Luminous minimalism: a combination of sweet scent of ripe figs and sycamore wood. The sweet aspect is further highlighted by white peach and the woody by tuberose and musks. The fragrance title is a reference to the Villa Kérylos at Côte d’Azur. It stands on a cliff surrounded by the sea on one side and a fragrant garden on the other.

The Sniff on PG16: "Green, minimalist, and enlivening, PG16 evokes a Greek cliffside garden with fuzzy fruit adorning gnarly old trees."

Andevalo was born under the blazing sun of western Andalusia. A land where cistus shrubs exude a thick, resinous gum saturated with heat and light. This extrait is built around a trio of labdanum extracts, expressing their full ambery depth. Strawberry CO₂ extract, along with raspberry and black cherry accords, bring a pulpy, sensual brightness, quickly absorbed by supple leather and mineral warmth. Enveloping dark woods and patchouli leave a dense and long-lasting trail of smoke and dark sweetness.

Perfumers: Coralie Spicher and Fabrice Pellegrin 

“Bain de minuit” is French for “skinny dipping”, and what could be more decadent than a midnight splash au natural in a giant vat of strawberries, cherries and vanilla? The initial fruity-tootiness gives way to a tough ‘n’ tropical accord of monoï oil and leather, with jasmine and praline singing the high and low harmonies.

Perfumer: Julien Plos

The charming and playful dancer warms up before her debut. Talented and passionate she radiates confidence and anticipation. Deliciously, exciting and unexpected. Sweet almond and ripe cherries contrast with sandalwood and vanilla for a floral, sweet and woody intensity. 

Dawn Whispers opens with a cold and ozonic note, like an echo suspended between two worlds. Gradually, the fragrance softens, shifting toward subtle, enveloping milky tones. A warm woody base emerges, supported by musky and amber touches. This unexpected contrast captures the whispers of another self, like a lost reflection in a parallel dimension, resonating through infinite spaces.

A bionic fragrance from the future, where nature and technology unites to create something extraordinary. Aqual™, a floral aldehyde that summons rain-soaked lily-of-the-valley, combines with Yuzu in citrusy metallic freshness. Juicy peach intertwines with Hexyl Acetate, an aromachemical with the scent of a green, melting pear. The jasmine heart becomes humanized with a nourishing accord that replicates the scent of milky skin. The result is poetry that lives on the skin.

This is a bold, lactonic jasmine perfume with a distinct peachy nuance.

It’s sweet in a lovely fruity way, like jasmine bushes in full bloom on a balmy summer evening.

According to the brand, the fruity theme is one of the most popular with the Swedish (perhaps a northern nation craves the gifts of short summer, or the precious commodity of exotic fruit from faraway lands). That is why SweDoft's eponymous perfume is so lavishly fruity.

A musky salty aquatic blend.

The name is SWIM / SX is a code for SPORT SEXY and evokes a sensual "skin-after-sun" feeling. It tells us about a man or a woman after bathing in the sea ... its about salty and desirable skin.

The okoumé wood and musks warm the floral-fresh-solar accord of ylang-ylang, Pacific algae and rosewood, with a hint of Indian hemp soils the composition and gives a slightly animalic dimension.

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.

The odd couple of strawberry and Thai oud work out their differences and decide to make a go of it. The initial assault of red berries mellows out into a vanilla almond heart. Herbaceous Thai oud maintains the structure, as well as the appealing weirdness. A gourmand with the Mabra DNA — always natural, always different.
