Mandorle

Mediterranean fruit, sun-warmed and unapologetically radiant. Erba Pura by Xerjoff is radiant luxury in fragrance form. Sparkling Sicilian citrus, luscious Mediterranean fruits, creamy vanilla, sensual musk and glowing amber blend into a scent that feels vibrant, addictive and unforgettable. Bold sophistication with irresistible presence.

The Story

Erba Pura is part of Xerjoff's Vibe collection, each fragrance of which is presented as a mood to match the occasion. Its character is Mediterranean from the first spray: Sicilian orange and Calabrian bergamot at the top, a fruit accord of the region at the heart. It was created in 2019 by perfumer Christian Carbonnel.

How It Smells

Opening
Bright, juicy and immediately addictive: a vibrant burst of Sicilian orange, Calabrian bergamot and lemon. It feels like luxury fruit served in the Mediterranean sun, sparkling citrus with instant energy and elegance, bold, sweet and attention-grabbing from the first spray.

Heart
The fragrance turns richer and smoother around a signature Mediterranean fruits accord. Many people perceive tropical fruits such as mango, melon or mixed exotic fruit, giving a lush fruity heart that is playful yet upscale and responsible for Erba Pura's crowd-pleasing identity.

Dry Down
Warm, creamy and long-lasting, with white musk, Madagascar vanilla and amber. It settles into a musky, sweet cloud that smells clean, seductive and extremely noticeable. Bright at first, sensual later.

Nostalgia transformed into luxury: baked apples, golden caramel and buttery pastry. Jany is an Extrait de Parfum from Sora Dora, a gourmand built from baked apple, caramel, puff pastry, soft stone fruit and creamy vanilla. Warm, indulgent and richly gourmand yet refined, it is comfort dressed in elegance.

The Story

Jany takes its name from Antoine Sora Dora's daughter, who bakes tarte tatin, and recalls the family's cakes, madeleines and cookies, with echoes of summer afternoons and childhood snacks. Sora Dora is the French house begun by Antoine, who left Portugal for Provence in 1920 and worked as head gardener at a jasmine farm near Grasse.

How It Smells

Opening
Like a warm French pastry fresh from the oven: baked apple, caramelized sugar, soft Ceylon cinnamon and buttery puff pastry. It has a realistic tarte tatin quality, but with a refined niche elegance rather than a candle-like sweetness.

Heart
Peach, apricot and plum add a juicy richness, while osmanthus brings a soft, velvety floral facet that keeps it more complex than a standard gourmand.

Dry Down
Vanilla, almond, caramel and white musk melt into a creamy skin scent: cozy, delicious and comforting.

A decadent escape into pure indulgence: burnt sugar, velvety vanilla and soft musk. Escapade Gourmande by Maison Mataha is a boldly gourmand Extrait de Parfum, composed by perfumer Vincent Ricord. Caramelized black sugar, velvety vanilla, warm tonka bean and soft musk create a fragrance that feels edible, luxurious and unforgettable: comfort wrapped in elegance.

The Story

The founding creation of Maison Mataha's Mémoire Gourmande collection, Escapade Gourmande was inspired by the memory of a crème brûlée, the caramelized sugar crust giving way to a warm, enveloping vanilla. Vincent Ricord translates that sensation into a darker vanilla with a burnt facet.

How It Smells

Opening
Like the top of a freshly torched crème brûlée: warm caramelized black sugar and rich sweetness fill the air. It is intensely gourmand but smooth and luxurious rather than synthetic.

Heart
The vanilla becomes deeper and more velvety while tonka adds a soft toasted warmth. It feels thick, comforting and addictive, like warm custard with cashmere softness on skin.

Dry Down
Sensual and enveloping: fluffy musk, rich vanilla and benzoin's sweet amber warmth.

Fruity, juicy and bright: mandarin and raspberry sparkle over bergamot.

A dark vanilla bean painted white. Vanilla Powder Extrait by Matière Première is a luxurious, addictive vanilla in which dark Madagascar vanilla meets creamy white musks, soft coconut powder, palo santo and warm tonka bean. Richer and more intimate than the original Eau de Parfum, it wraps the skin in velvety sweetness and elegant depth.

The Story

Perfumer Aurélien Guichard, founder of Matière Première, imagined a dark vanilla bean painted white: a deep, supple vanilla with a salty facet, contrasted with modern white powders. The extrait raises the dosage of the hero ingredient, vanilla absolute from Fair for Life land in Madagascar, and adds a guest ingredient, Venezuelan tonka bean absolute, which unveils a new and unexpected facet of the original.

How It Smells

Opening
A fluffy veil of coconut powder and airy white musks gives a soft, skin-like sweetness.

Heart
The Madagascar vanilla becomes richer and smoother than in the original version, dark and supple rather than overly sweet, with a hint of salt.

Dry Down
Tonka bean adds almond-like warmth and toasted depth, while palo santo brings a subtle smoky woodiness. The effect is creamy, sensual, powdery and seductive: less loud than the Eau de Parfum, but deeper and more refined.

Amber Bloom by Electimuss London is the inaugural composition in the house's new Auras Collection (2026): the first chapter of a new olfactory chronicle.

Created by perfumer David Chieze, Amber Bloom is refined freshness with a warm afterglow — the aura of someone truly excelling in their element. It is a study in contrast: zesty citrus and exotic passion fruit suspended above warm amber and salt-touched marine notes, freshness rendered sophisticated rather than fleeting.

Picture a dusk wander through an ancient Mediterranean grove, where citrus trees unfurl seawards and branches hang heavy with sun-ripened fruit. The fragrance opens with an exhilarating burst of citrus — the sharp, vivid zest of grapefruit, mandarin, and bergamot — effervescent and alive, like pure light against the skin. This is the essence of clarity: a breath of Mediterranean air that instantly energises.

As Amber Bloom unfolds, the heart reveals an unexpected depth. Delicate lily of the valley mingles with juicy raspberry and lush passion fruit, while subtle salt notes drift through like a soft sea breeze kissing the skin — an aromatic luminosity at once modern and timeless. Here the composition balances fruity vibrancy with sophisticated restraint, never veering into excess.

The base grounds this luminous freshness in warmth and texture. Creamy tonka bean and sensual musk wrap around woody ambergris, conjuring that signature warm afterglow — the day's heat still lingering as the evening cools. It is the feeling of sun-warmed skin, of ancient Roman rituals reimagined for modern life, where wellbeing becomes atmosphere itself.

Bold, colourful, and textured, Amber Bloom transforms refined freshness into an invisible field of warmth that moves with you. Intense, effortless, quietly uplifting.

Fragrance Notes:

• Top Notes: Lemon, Grapefruit, Mandarin, Bergamot
• Heart Notes: Lily of the Valley, Salt Notes, Raspberry, Passionfruit
• Base Notes: Ambergris, Tonka Bean, Musk

How It Smells

It opens with a soft cloud of coconut powder and airy white musks, giving an immediate clean, fluffy texture.

The overall effect is powdery, creamy, musky, and highly addictive with a “your skin but expensive vanilla” vibe.

Erba Pura Magica is a radiant and addictive reinterpretation of the iconic Erba Pura DNA—richer, smoother, and more indulgent. Created by master perfumer Christian Provenzano, this fragrance elevates the signature fruity-musky profile with a deeper, more sensual twist.

A vibrant blend of citrus and luscious fruits opens the composition, immediately bright and uplifting. As it evolves, balsamic warmth and soft florals add elegance, while the base reveals a luxurious fusion of caramel, amber, musk, and woods—creating a scent that feels both playful and refined.

Magnetic, smooth, and unmistakably luxurious, Erba Pura Magica is designed for those who want a bolder, sweeter, more addictive version of a crowd-favorite profile.

How It Smells

Erba Pura Magica opens with a burst of juicy fruits and sparkling citrus—bright, sweet, and immediately attention-grabbing.

Very quickly, what sets it apart appears: a creamy caramel warmth that blends into the fruits, making the scent feel richer and more indulgent than the original.

As it dries down, it becomes smooth, musky, and slightly woody, with amber and cedar adding depth while keeping the fragrance soft and wearable.
