10 perfumes in similar style to Tacit by Aesop

O/E was a perfume Bogue made between MAAI and MEM.

This batch of O/E is a one off lucky production of that original formula and a chance for collectors and Bogue fans to get their hands on another interesting blend.

O/E is a green herbaceous vetiver among other things but it passes through a citrus stage and a meadow and a pine forest episode as well. As with all Bogue creations it's a complex inventive formula with fascinating architecture

No. 89 has been an icon among the Floris collection for over 60 years. First crafted in 1951, No. 89 takes its name from the number of their flagship shop on Jermyn Street.

Ian Fleming who was a customer of Floris mentions No. 89 in his James Bond universe.

No. 89 is a classic and timeless mix of fresh citruses, sparkly spices and aromatic herbs resting on sandalwood and oakmoss. There is an adventurous romantic twist in the formula though: a drop of rose.

No. 89 could be a fragrance for the quintessential English gentleman.

A refreshing yuzu, green violet leaves and dry vetiver cologne. 003 is a beautiful interpretation of 19th century barber/pharmacist cosmetic tonic infusions for gentlemen and ladies.

Nowadays Violet leaf is a somewhat vintage and rare note in perfumery but nonetheless appealing in its deep shady coolness.

Perfumer for 003: Natalie Kobus.

Madagasgar’s threatened forests are home to some of the most intoxicating plants in the world. Including vanilla. Which smells loads better than a lemur.

But we’re not talking about ice cream or a shot of vanilla goo in a skinny latte. No, this is naked vanilla packed with luxurious orchid warmth. Blended with the best Madagascar has to offer including ylang oil, vetiver,violet, musk, jasmine and cloves.

Think of this it as an ecosystem in a bottle; a hug from mother earth. You get the picture.

Eau Papaguéna is one of those unique citrus formulas that last.

Here the trick is actually to use the blossom not the zest. On top of that, the citrus notes are encased in ambroxan, which protects and highlights the freshness of grapefruit and orange flowers.

In addition, there is the supporting base layer of green freshness: basil, tarragon, cypress and vetiver.

The name: Eau Papaguéna can be interpreted as Papageno’s cologne. He is a character from Mozart’s Magic Flute. He catches birds for the Queen of the Night. In return, he receives daily food and drink from her, and not in short supply: he is allowed to fill his stomach with wine and sugar bread.

‘O absent presence, Stella is not here’

The fifth and final instalment of the Revenants collection draws inspiration from the Elizabethan poet Sir Philip Sidney. In his Sonnet sequence ‘Astrophel and Stella’ Sidney develops and captures the essence of a haunting… the presence of one that is always felt but never seen.

‘Now I, wit-beaten long by hardest fate,

So dull am, that I cannot look into

The ground of this fierce love and lovely hate,

Then some good body tell me how I do,

Whose presence absence, absent presence is;

Blesst in my curse, and cursed in my bliss.’

October 1175, Calabria Italy

A joyful refreshing fragrance that pays tribute to the celebration of the annual Calabrian citron harvest, L'Etrog starts with a zesty and tart opening of Calabrese cedrat, Sicilian lemon, myrtle.

Smyrna date fruit and lentisque resin give L'Etrog an elegant sweet heart, warmth envelopes the hesperidic opening.

The evening draws to a close, the sun slowly fading from the sky, cooling vetiver, patchouli and Lebanese cedar create a base of serenity and tranquility.

Freedom was inspired by Brenton on Sea in South Africa, where the South African Loerie birds soar freely over the endless coastline of sea and sand. A place of freedom and inspiration for Aqualis founder Steyn Grobler.

Fresh pressed Egyptian bergamot hangs with a comforting scent in the air. A grounding base of oakmoss and sun bleached driftwood glow in your surroundings, intertwining with wisps of Haitian vetiver. Waves of aqueous salt water and mint envelop the nose creating freshness and weightlessness.
