SERGE LUTENS
GRIS CLAIR
Encapsulating the colour grey within a scent may seem challenging, but Serge Lutens has done it with ease. Reminiscent of thick linens drying in the air, it’s a soft caress of a scent. Cold, at first, like a chilled wind, with rosemary and incense, but soon warmed by the sun of the day, with amber, woods and a tonka bean that feels so soothing and comforting it may as well be a cashmere jumper.

VAN CLEEF & ARPELS
COLLECTION EXTRAORDINAIRE RÊVE DE YLANG
Concocted around one of perfumery’s most noble ingredients, the ‘flower of flowers’, Rêve de Ylang captures the heady, exotic, intoxicating and spicy aroma of the ylang ylang flower. Perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin used an invigorating cardamom and a whisper of saffron to enhance the opulent spiciness and warmth of ylang ylang, while an aromatic vanilla and rich patchouli add depth. The result is a fabulous, ultra-luxe floral nectar, pierced with light.

YARDLEY_LUXE_FLOWERFUL_GARDENIA

YARDLEY
FLOWERFUL LUXE GARDENIA
The final perfumer for the Flowerful trio is Alienor Massenet, who was inspired by the intoxicating solar floralcy of the gardenia – said to symbolise grace, love and harmony. Classically a floral, this opens with fresh bergamot, sea salt and coconut water, then gathers other white flowers for this bouquet: magnolia, orange blossom and frangipani, buffed by amber and vanilla. We’re thrilled to feature this trio in our new Launches We Love Discovery Box.

MENS_THE_MODERNIST_NIHILISM.jpTHE MODERNIST
NIHILISM
A majestic rose gets up close and personal with icy slivers of citrus-infused aldehydes before the distinctly warmer snuggle of the benzoin base. Wearing this is like a Tinder date with identical twins: one aristocratic and reckless, the other a down-to-earth rabble-rousing type with bellow-stairs humour and a belly laugh that shakes walls. And we have to adore the name – if only to watch the faces of anyone who asks what we’re wearing.
