Les Indemodables Ambre Supreme brings a crash of surf and the glitter of sunlight on the wave’s crest via bubbles of aldehydes and the salty tang of the ambergris, accompanied by a sharp crackle of peppercorn

Vilhelm Parfumerie Opus Kore is a story of the anticipation and arrival of spring, composed by Master Perfumer Jerome Epinette. And “compose” is an apt word here. It is as if Mr. Epinette is a master conductor of a grand orchestra with his baton poised still in the air. This orchestral burst of life is in the first spray of Opus Kore, an Ode to Spring. There is the joyous rush of vivid color – pinks, yellow, greens, all backed by a clear, cloudless (and finally warm!) blue sky.
