Purple line

Perfumer: Serge De Oliveira

An extravagant fruity perfume in which warm boozy spices (cinnamon and cloves) incite carefree fruit into jammy debauchery in some dense sweet patchouli setting. Check out the crazy banana explosion in the opening.

The Sniff on Mint's Meek Passion:

"[it] is a scent for those who like their fragrances on the darker, more impolite and dirtier end of the spectrum. It evokes booze and sweat and smoke on the skin in its wear. The way the fragrance begins though is cheerful and totally unexpected making for an interesting juxtaposition."

A dry dusty oud amalgamated with sandalwood and patchouli. It’s smoky and dark but with a hint of sour lemon zest.

PERFUMER: DORA BAGHRICHE

Fragrance: A lively, light citrus-focused fragrance with a slightly woody base that will refresh and intrigue. A blend of five outstanding citrus oils creates the exciting top and core of this fragrance whilst black pepper and coriander bring a zing that will wake you up and get you ready for the day ahead.

Perfumer: Marie Salamagne

A fresh start… of the day, season, or in life (a reference to innocent and sweet childhood).

Riviera Sunrise is a sunny delicious citrus blend featuring lemons, sweet oranges and mandarins floating above the freshness of basil, fig and cedar. 

A journey between citrus freshness and spicy oriental notes that captivates and intoxicates. A fragrance to awaken our senses and elevate our consciousness.

Perfumer: Serge de Oliveira

"In the summer, to refresh my mind, I like to walk along the paths of lemon trees, filled with sunshine and light. The smell of the barely ripe lemons is intoxicating and lively and mixes with the purity of the air. Eau de Thé & Gingembre transcribes this sensation of freshness. It is a cologne with sparkling citrus fruits enhanced with a floral heart and a spicy note of ginger. Its bright scent is ideal for me for hot summer days."

Rouge Sarây translates the romantic imaginings of adventures and tales on the ancient trade routes that traversed the Middle East. These journeys are kept alive today through the vitality of alluring spices and scents.

Long considered a potent symbol of abundance and hospitality, Rouge Sarây sublimates the date and its fruity and fleshy aroma. This fragrance captures the feeling of exquisite indulgence and shared moments of hospitality at the caravanserai, under sheltering desert skies.

A bright bouquet with a citrus woody focus. Bergamot, mandarin and ginger inject a full freshness effect while sunny floral notes of organge blossom, jasmine and rose meld with velvety notes of milk chocolate. This is an ode to the enigmatic power of white flowers in a rich and edible interpretation.

Perfumer: Sfean J.A.

"Astrakan conjures the dense apple orchards of Sweden. These Astrakan apples are artfully spiced and sharpened with cinnamon and oranges; while the vanilla, sandalwood and doses of gurjum resin ensure the effct is woody and green rather than warming and christmassy. The diffusion is complex in it's layers and serves a shimmering effect that invokes a sense that you can't get enough. Overall this is a fruity fragrance that is rich, sophisticated and delectable.

Perfumer: Alexander Olsson

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.

Early morning, October 1175, Calabria

The cool night air dissipates under the sun’s first rays. The ripe citrus in the field has absorbed all the water of the morning dew and the farmers are ready to work on the misty green fields, speckled by the bright yellow of the citron. They leave their woody cabin and take a deep breath…
