French Macaron captures the essence of its namesake French pastry. The opening notes of warm milk and almond offer a comforting sensation, like a freshly baked macaron. The heart reveals a fruity raspberry, balanced by a biscuit note. The caramel and vanilla base is a sweet and smooth sign-off.

Inspired by the traditional Provençal sweet Calisson, an almond-shaped paste of candied fruit topped with fondant icing. This edp launches with bergamot and sugary milk. Fresh orange blossom radiates from the heart, supported by a warm and creamy sandalwood. Base notes of caramel, vanilla and musk complete the mouth-watering effect.

Inspired by the weightlessness of a day without plans or obligations. Effervescent top notes of ripe peach and bergamot levitate over wild orchid, crisp linen and sequoia wood. Aldehydes swirl airy musk in a cloud around you.

Venice… The Biennale…
Among an immaculate work of art, the light dances. Wreathed in an aura of mystery, the delicate forms of crumpled silk paper, translucent in places and downy in others, inspire this abstract, woody yet radiant sillage. An intense emotion through shades of white. A scent you could almost touch.A second skin to be worn alone… or combined with another fragrance.

You’re in a cafe on a quiet London street as the morning fog mingles with gentle rain. You breathe in your cup of freshly brewed Earl Grey tea, bright with bergamot and ever so slightly smoky. Silky steamed milk frothed with decadent vanilla bean and a hint of lavender is sweetened with whipped honey. Let London Fog be your invitation to indulge in the serenity of cozy luxury.

A happy explosion of clean and pretty flowers, with oodles of petals fluttering down from the heavens. Rose and peony team up with their syrupy richness, with a ruffle of freesia, orchid and mandarin tree flower intensifying the effect. Maison Matine devised Poom Poom as a carefree ode to life.

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.

Technically tonka are nuts as they come from a tree (whereas a bean is a seed of a legume). ‘Tonka beans’ is a misnomer but also phrase used to refer to them in perfumery, cooking, etc. In Happy Nuts tonka is key note contributing to the delicious nuts roasted in caramel fragrant idea. The name could be a suggestive euphemism or just a reference to tonka being promoted to their accurate botanical rank – nuts.
