January Scent Project Attaupe by John Biebel is an arresting, indefatigable perfume which straddles the soothing and the seething – a lavender luxury which bridges time-honored technique and contemporary specifications. It’s old-school well crafted and fascinating, difficult to pigeonhole or define. Perhaps it’s a moody gourmand steeped in tea and tobacco, wise beyond its years
Olibere Dangerous Rose by Luca Maffei is a spicy rose with irreverent spirit and modern character that is built on the classic rose-oud-patch combo, but with enough rock-n-roll pizzazz to make it different. Smiling maliciously, with crimson red lipstick hiding some pointy fangs, a hint of properly pale powdered cheeks, surrounded by the warmth of spices, dressed in intricate Victorian laced embroidery paired with latex and leather, this one is a rose with brains, deliciously dark humor, a nod to the past classics, and a wink to the future.
Senyoko Une Île Pluvieuse composed by Euan McCall is inspired by Yukio Mishima’s 1950s novella The Sound of Waves (Shiosai). It is the sea that immediately comes to mind when wearing Une Île Pluvieuse. You are transported to a scene where can practically feel the salty sea spray whipping across your face as you navigate the steep path down a rocky cliff heading towards the ocean’s edge
MEMO Paris Flam is a fragrance that brings the magnetic energy of the northern lights in the coziness of a warm home with a whiff of upcoming spring. A perfect escape to the Nordic environment, traced by the fjords. Cedar essence. Steeped in, the hypnotic charm of scenery turned blue by wintertime. Clary sage. Once the fair weather returns, revealing a lush valley in endless hues, with the waterfalls singing in the background. Bergamot and sambac jasmine. The landscape becomes all the more intense upon entering the depths of the fjord, where the sea meets freshwater.

For this reason, and due to its prohibitive cost, ambergris is usually used as a background material to amplify its partners or replaced with a synthetic version. But not in Les Indemodables Ambre Supreme. Created by master perfumer Antoine Lie, Ambre Supreme contains a walloping 10% dosage of the real deal, specially sourced and tinctured for the brand. The resulting fragrance glows like a topaz in candlelight; incandescent, warm, refractory and very elegant.
