Wanna smell like an old Stradivarius or a posh French table? Didn’t think so.
Rosewood is the known go to for fine furniture and violin makers for centuries. But it has a sexy secret side: its amazing aroma. By distilling its oil we get a sweet, delicate woody scent. Lovingly mix that with the light greens of mango and neroli and, following feedback from our wonderful ådventurer members the amazing addition of dear old mary jane (that’s marijuana to you – ask yer dad). It now takes on a whole new degree of intoxicating ethereal sophistication.
Just like a beautifully played Ravel violin concerto. Well kinda.

A carefree fruity progression of sweet citruses, honeyed jasmine and delicious mango.

Or du Sérail by Naomi Goodsir £141.67
- Key notes:
- honey
- mango
- tobacco
- Aromagroups:
- leather
- spicy
- woody
New 2019 packaging: crimped spray (as opposed to the previous design of screw-on self assembly spray).
Perfumer: Bertrand Duchaufour.
Or du Sérail exudes almost gooey intoxicating sweetness of a cigar soaked in rum with hints of candied fruit and honey at the edges.
You can relate to this perfume if you ever discovered that secret cupboard your grandma kept spice, vanilla, honey, cognac, candied oranges and chocolate among other fragrant treasures reserved for festive cake making. When you finally locate it, you just linger at the open door and marvel at the rich, sweet aromas, before checking if there’s anything worth secretly tasting.
Tobacco, very much present in the formula probably stands for the antic cabinet itself.
The Sniff on Au de Serail:
"There is a sugared, decadent and festive tone about the start of the scent without a doubt. The feeling that it evokes is of a Victorian Christmas celebration; opening a giant box of Christmas sweets and staring at the amassed rows of candied fruit lying in their little compartments, the jewelled colours glinting in the light of the log fire."
802 Nymphéa Céleste by Bon Parfumeur £87.50
- Key notes:
- ambrette seeds
- osmanthus
- peony
- Aromagroups:
- green
- leather
- marine
- transparent
A very interesting addition to the sea of marine fragrances. An aquatic smooth leather, a rather novel combination but beautifully executed. 802 is a smooth sleek osmanthus, musky peony and velvety ambrette mix, reminiscent of suede or really fine leather gloves aroma.
Perfumer for 802: Nathalie Koobus.
Asoral by Mendittorosa £216.67
- Key notes:
- magnolia
- musk
- peony
- rose
- Aromagroups:
- floral
The rose in Italian is “la rosa”. Reverse the perspective, come at it from a different angle, go right to left, and you get “Asoral”. This extrait burrows into the very essence of a young, dewy-petalled rose, taking you on a journey from the outside world to the inner you. This is achieved with a union of Turkish rose and Rosa Lani, a complex rose with vibrations of liquorice, tea and hay. Creamy magnolia, rosy-esque peony and soft musks add even more plushness, elevating Asoral to a radiant smile-bringer.
Perfumer: Cristiano Canali
