In a picturesque spot you stop to have a breakfast picnic, and it’s here where you discover her enticing perfume, so perfect for her, perfect for her style, sweet yet mellow and intertwining perfectly with the air of the Cote d’Azure.
Adone by Agatho £305.00
- Key notes:
- geranium
- grapefruit
- rose
- white musk
- Aromagroups:
- citrusy
- floral
- green
An essence whose floral and enveloping notes are rooted in myth, which plays with hypnotizing the senses like the young and beautiful Adonis against Aphrodite. Releasing the freshness of the flowers of wisteria, jasmine, geranium, damask rose, and white lily, this essence interprets and expresses the beautiful and damned Adonis, like a flower of short life that: “badly fixed to the ground and too fragile lightness owes its name to the wind and the wind just scatters its petals ”.

- marine

Perfumer: Olivier Cresp*
A transparent and refreshing marine perfume created with Mediterranean citruses floating on fantasy molecules such hedione, paradisione and crisp voluminous musks. A totally dreamy effect of morning sea breeze merging with aromas of flowers welcoming the sunrise.
In the Beso, trio Bendito Beso (which literally translates as “a blessed kiss”) is indeed the early morning by the warm sea, still fresh but with a beautiful promise of happy sunshine later.

The Sniff on the Beso Beach perfumes and Bendito Beso in particular:
"Of all the scents from the Beso Beach line, Bendito Beso felt likely to be the most polarising. It opens with a very vibrant, salty, fresh vibe. If we’d been told that we were inhaling sea air that had been bottled we would have believed you. It smells like a rather bracing walk on a Scottish beach just moments before the warmth of the sun breaks out from behind a cloud. There’s fir in there, an extreme saltiness, wetness and a murky mustiness."

NAKED LAUNDRY by BORNTOSTANDOUT £160.00
- Key notes:
- aldehydes
- skatole
- tonkitone
- white musk
- Aromagroups:
- citrusy
- woody
NAKED LAUNDRY opens with the crisp, airy scent of mandarin and aldehydes—freshly laundered sheets, clean and innocent. But beneath the surface, things are about to heat up.
Ambrinol and skatole bring an animalic, sweaty undertone, hinting at bodies pressed together, tangled in those once-pristine sheets. Mimosa and white caramel add an irresistible sweetness, but it’s the honeyed warmth and musk that turn this into a dirty, unapologetic embrace.
As the fragrance dries down, tonka bean and ambery woods merge with sensual milk, creating a lingering warmth that feels like the memory of skin-on-skin, sweat-soaked and utterly shameless.
The scent starts fresh but finishes in full, heated dirtiness.
INSPIRATION
Starts CLEAN, Finishes DIRTY. Starts INNOCENT, Ends SINFUL.
From freshly washed linens to the steamy heat of bodies entwined in them—pure at first, then descending into the unmistakable warmth of sweaty skin.

Color Feeling. Yellow (Discontinued) by Brocard £31.00
- Key notes:
- freesia
- narcissus
- vanilla
- white musk
- Aromagroups:
- citrusy
- floral
- woody
A perfumer imagining a color as a fragrance for Brocard’s recent project: Color Feeling.
Perfumer Wei Ling Png picked yellow - the color of the first spring flowers, the sun disk in children’s drawings and stipes on honey bees’ bodies.
Color Feeling. Yellow is made from the powdery nuance of narcissus, a drop of lemon zest and honeyed creamy aroma of tropical freesias.
Moonlight by Brocard £155.00
- Key notes:
- freesia
- hedione
- lotus
- melon
- mimosa
- moonlight
- musk
- orris (iris root)
- violet
- Aromagroups:
- floral
- transparent
Moonlight was commissioned by Brocard to Bertrand Duchaufour. It is the brand’s first experiment with an approach to perfume making as conceptual art and luxury.
To understand this perfume you need to ponder on the nature of monlight and the fact that it is only sunlight reflected off the lifeless satellite.
The perfume feels even more tender, a bit like the Moon’s reflection in a pond. The formula is a uniform gentle flow of cool spices, splashes of freesia, mimosa and iris interlaced with oakmoss and musk. It stays close to skin as if designed to be a to be a secret known only by the wearer.
The bottle deserves a separate mention, it's heavy crystal with exactly 57 facets, the same number you have in the classic diamond cut, the perfect number to capture light inside the crystal and to make it pulse within.
You can actually spin the bottle (the base has been cut in a special way) to admire the play of light inside the moonstone coloured tincture.

- Aromagroups:
- floral
- green
- transparent
A beautiful watercolor etude with the gentle spring blooms, featuring the translucent aroma of tulips (a very rare theme in perfumery) and a powdery mimosa accent.
Brocard’s Scents of Nature series are sentimental olfactory doors into childhood memories.
Their Tulip and Mimosa (Тюльпан и Мимоза) is about the first spring flowers, the first shoots of green grass and the uncertain warmth of the first spring breeze.
