About the perfumer – Quentin Bisch →

Chilled hibiscus tea over crushed berries, spiced with leather and mint. Hibiscus Mahajád by Maison Crivelli is flamboyant luxury captured in scent. Vibrant hibiscus, juicy cassis, luminous Damask rose, cool mint, sensual leather and creamy vanilla create a fragrance that feels bold, glamorous and unforgettable: powerful elegance with irresistible presence. Created by perfumer Quentin Bisch.

The Story

Released in 2021, Hibiscus Mahajád grew from founder Thibaud Crivelli’s experience of drinking hibiscus tea in a gemstone market. The perfume builds on the tea’s tart, fruity character, with rose and vanilla accentuating its rosy, vanillic side, and sets the brightness of hibiscus against spiced leather and spearmint. Maison Crivelli, founded in 2018, centers each creation on an unexpected discovery of a raw material.

How It Smells

Opening
Bold, vibrant and immediately unforgettable, a dazzling blend of hibiscus, cassis, peppermint and cinnamon. It feels juicy, sparkling and electric, like chilled hibiscus tea poured over crushed berries with a flash of fresh mint.

Heart
Richer and more sensual. Damask rose and hibiscus bloom into a lush floral heart that feels velvety, jammy and luxurious, while leather and ambrette add texture and warmth, a seductive contrast between sweetness and depth.

Dry Down
Warm and creamy, with vanilla, musks, ambery warmth and soft leather. It settles into an opulent cloud that smells rich, magnetic and impossible to ignore, with notably strong projection.

Twilight between two trees: grapefruit, mate tea and vetiver. Between Two Trees by Floraïku Paris is a refined woody-green creation that captures the quiet stillness of nature at twilight. Bright grapefruit, aromatic mate tea and elegant vetiver make it crisp, sophisticated and effortlessly modern: clean, polished and distinctive, for lovers of fresh woods with a niche edge.

The Story

Between Two Trees is part of the Shadowing™ collection from Floraïku Paris, scents meant to be worn side by side with a main Floraïku fragrance rather than layered or mixed, adding aromatic depth and character. The house gives it a symbol: an owl, standing for wisdom, between two trees, guiding the way in the dark, with twilight as a transition and a pause between two moments.

How It Smells

Opening
A burst of sparkling grapefruit and lime, a fresh citrus brightness with a subtle peppery lift from pink pepper and juniper.

Heart
The mate tea note appears, green, herbal and slightly earthy, with ginger and cardamom adding a dry, natural texture.

Dry Down
Smooth vetiver, cedarwood and a touch of leather create a woody finish that feels elegant and grounding. The overall effect is fresh-cut citrus, green tea leaves and refined woods in a cool forest breeze: clean, modern and quietly masculine-leaning while still unisex.

A field of flowers inside the brain. Amygdala by Mendittorosa is one of the most emotional, cerebral and artistic fragrances in modern niche perfumery: a semi-abstract floral, woody and ambery extrait with an iris character, a prominent jasmine and an unusual bitter-almond, coffee and ginger opening.

The Story

Created by Luca Maffei for the Italian artistic house Mendittorosa, Amygdala explores emotion, memory, fear, instinct and olfaction, named for the almond-shaped part of the brain tied to emotion and smell.

Elysium Noir by Roja Parfums is a darker, more seductive evolution of the iconic Elysium—transforming its signature freshness into something deeper, richer, and undeniably magnetic. Designed as an “after hours” interpretation, this composition introduces a shadowy sensuality while maintaining the refined elegance the house is known for.

Bright citrus and aromatic notes open the fragrance with clarity and freshness, while a heart of rose and juicy blackberry adds a smooth, slightly sweet dimension. As it dries down, a complex base of woods, leather, spices, and musks creates a powerful, long-lasting trail that feels both modern and sophisticated. Elysium Noir is bold yet polished—a fragrance that moves effortlessly from day into night.

A night flight from a tropical fruit feast to a damp, mineral cave. Zoologist Bat moves from fig, passion fruit and pink guava over a soil accord into hay, incense and night-blooming jasmine, then down to leather, teak, vetiver and mossy stones. Perfumer Prin Lomros composed this 2020 reinterpretation for Zoologist Perfumes.

The Story

Mystical, mysterious murmurings glide upon a blanket of inky sky, and shadows smear across the moonlight as bats, the only mammal capable of true flight, make their darting journey through the dark. Zoologist Bat escorts you on an odyssey through the night, carrying you with the fruit bat to a sumptuous feast in a lush tropical jungle before whisking you down to the recesses of its cavernous home. Sweet guavas and passion fruits ensnare you with addictive notes, then beckon you deep with primordial mineral scents that evoke a rugged enclosure redolent with hints of damp soil and vegetal roots. Hang, draped in pitch black, as alluring musk wafts over you with every unfolding of the thousands of leathery wings that surround you.

Opening
Ripe fig, passion fruit and pink guava sit over an earthy soil accord.

Heart
Hay, incense, mineral notes and night-blooming jasmine turn the fruit rustic and cool.

Bitter cacao, burning spice, sensual musk, supple leather and warm woods collide in a scent that feels provocative, luxurious and unforgettable: boldly seductive, a trail of dangerous elegance. Orto Parisi is the house of perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri.

The Story

Boccanera is a gourmand inspired by dark chocolate with chili, meant to balance taste and scent, attraction and unease. The name means dark mouth in Italian. Orto Parisi, founded in 2014 as a tribute to Gualtieri's grandfather Vincenzo Parisi, treats the body as a garden whose scents reflect the soul, and explores contrasts between pleasant and harsh, attraction and repulsion.

How It Smells

Opening
Dark, spicy and immediately seductive, with black pepper, chili pepper, ginger and cacao. It feels like bitter dark chocolate dusted with hot spice: warm, sensual and slightly dangerous.

A ritual of smoke, suede and ascent. Ierofante by Parfums Quartana is a spiritual, transformative extrait inspired by the Hierophant, a guide between the physical and the divine. Created by perfumer Luca Maffei, it pairs suede, a gasoline accord and nutmeg with smoky leather, golden amber, cashmeran and vetiver in an aura that feels both powerful and deeply introspective.

The Story

Its name is Italian for Hierophant, the revealer of sacred things. The perfume unfolds like a ritual, capturing the moment of awakening where light meets shadow and something within shifts. Ceremonial, elevated and quietly magnetic, it has been described as an inward journey rather than an escape, an ascent through combustion and revelation toward weightlessness.

How It Smells

Opening
Bright, sharp and combustible, but controlled: suede and a gasoline accord, sparked by nutmeg.

Heart
A warm, smoky heart rises, with styrax pyrogene and smoky leather adding depth and a feeling of calm intensity.

Dry Down
Smooth woods, golden amber, cashmeran and vetiver settle into a soft, skin-like warmth, a trail that feels intimate, spiritual and refined.
