10 perfumes in similar style to The Sun Card by Marissa Zappas

“to see … a heaven in a wild flower”. 

This perfume is a refreshing space filled with salty sweet floral echoes. Beware of a steep cliff beyond this meadow of echoes. It runs into a cold milky desolate ocean. 

A timeless ode to the Orange Blossom, carnal and enticing, seducing by its elegance and rarity. Its exalting “sillage” and its enveloping character are a pure invitation to discover a magnificent, enchanted garden, where the orange freshness and the elegance of Neroli are sublimated by sensual notes of honey, rose, vanilla and Tonka beans. This magnificent mix is sustained by a perfectly balanced accord of benzoin, amber and musk.

Parfumeur : Luca Maffei

Fragrance: Powerful, powdery and slightly metallic rose fragrance that will linger on your skin and clothes for days and sometimes even weeks. We've blended eight different rose extractions to try and represent the famous flower in a new and unique way. The result is a rose top note that has lost any sweet or sticky elements and is left with a rawness that is addictive to smell. This is then balanced with an aquatic core that softens a woody base. A truly unique rose perfume.

The Mediterranean freshness of the essence, whose citrus notes are accompanied by the sensuality of damask rose, sublimating in sinuous oriental echoes, is inspired by the colour that has made the frescoes of Pompeian domes famous and unmistakable all over the world.

The pigment obtained from the mineral cinnabar, Rossopompeiano, emblem of a part of the history the perfumer Agatho’s city, becomes a perfume.

At first sniff, orange and pale chocolate glaze this amber concoction. Heliotrope, with its almond floralcy, garlands amber’s coziness, enhanced by caramel. Before you get too comfortable, piri piri and vermouth put the fire in your belly.

Santal takes its inspiration from a Sandalwood fragrance originally created in the 1800s which has then been given a distinctive contemporary edge.

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.

For Dominique Moellhausen purple is made of the retro notes of candied violet petals sweets and fine gloves' leather - all in the soft-focus effect of Hitchcockian heliotrope.

Bertrand Duchaufour creates an amber orange glow of a perfume from the delicious nuances of lemon peel and candied mango, the fantasy warm waxy aroma of a burning candle and pressed dried marigolds dreaming of summer.
