Colosseum

Caramel-dipped strawberry over leather and saffron, a Moscow love letter. La Capitale by Xerjoff is a refined perfume dedicated to Moscow and to Russia, a boundless country rich in art, history and culture. It opens in a rich, playful burst of strawberry, caramel, peach and labdanum, deepens into leather, saffron and rose, and settles into Bourbon vanilla and benzoin.

The Story

La Capitale celebrates the modernity and romanticism of Moscow, a metropolis of thousands of different districts that together form a rich and fascinating city, a place of contradictions that runs from grandeur and grime to history and hipness. Xerjoff is an Italian house, founded by Sergio Momo in 2003.

How It Smells

Opening
Rich, playful and immediately addictive, with strawberry, caramel, peach and labdanum. The first impression is like luxurious strawberry jam drizzled over warm caramelized fruit: sweet, juicy and glamorous rather than childish.

Heart
The fragrance becomes darker and more seductive as leather, Iranian saffron, rose, amber and ginger rise through the sweetness, a sensual contrast between fruity gourmand notes and warm, luxurious depth.

Dry Down
Smooth and creamy, with Bourbon vanilla and benzoin adding warmth, softness and a resinous sweetness. It smells expensive and magnetic, wearable by anyone drawn to its character.

Lavender, spice and leather from the cradle of perfume. Egypt by Eight & Bob is a sophisticated tribute to the mystique and grandeur of an ancient civilization: aromatic freshness, warm spice and sensual woods in an elegant unisex composition. Lavender, lemon and moss open it, cardamom and nutmeg warm the heart, and leather, patchouli and sandalwood close it.

The Story

Egypt comes from the private collection of Albert Fouquet, the perfume enthusiast behind Eight & Bob, and was inspired by his travels in Egypt, by the plants and flowers of an Egyptian friend's garden and by the essences used for thousands of years in the birthplace of perfume. The house itself dates to 1937, when a young American student asked Fouquet for samples, including "one for Bob."

How It Smells

Opening
Fresh and aromatic: lavender and lemon with a mossy edge give a refined brightness.

Heart
Cardamom and nutmeg deepen it into elegant spice and mossy woods.

Dry Down
Smooth leather, patchouli and creamy sandalwood create a rich, sensual warmth without heaviness.

Vanilla with attitude. Vanille Leather by BDK Parfums is a bold, sensual tribute to Madagascan vanilla, deepened with white florals, suede-like leather and smoky woods.

The house credits perfumer Dominique Ropion.

The Story

BDK Parfums built Vanille Leather around the seduction of vanilla and leather, a gourmand-leather Eau de Parfum that treats Madagascan vanilla as the star and surrounds it with floral richness and dark, resinous depth. Sweet, but never childish; sexy, but still elegant.

A spicy floral brightness: pink pepper and violet, like white flowers in the air.

Rich and voluptuous as Indian tuberose absolute, Egyptian jasmine absolute and orange blossom absolute unfurl.

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. Founder Stefania Squeglia drew the concept from her psychology studies, imagining a vast field of flowers inside that tiny structure, with violets at its centre. Maffei built a complex floral bouquet around it, inspired by a brain scan that showed an iris-like shape.

How It Smells

Opening
An unusual contrast of bitter almond, coffee, ginger and green brightness.

Heart
A dense floral-woody cloud of iris, violet leaf, jasmine, orange blossom and ylang-ylang.

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.

How It Smells

Elysium Noir opens fresh and vibrant with citrus and clean aromatics, but quickly takes a darker turn. A subtle fruity sweetness—driven by blackberry—adds a smooth, addictive edge, while soft florals keep it refined.

As it develops, the scent becomes deeper and more sensual. You start to feel leather, woods, and warm spices, giving it a richer, more masculine presence without losing its freshness.

It smells like a fresh “blue” fragrance after dark—clean citrus layered with smooth leather, soft sweetness, and warm woody depth, creating a scent that is both versatile and seductive.

Saffron on a salty blast of Antarctic air. Penguin by Zoologist Perfumes is a vibrant, invigorating Extrait de Parfum in which saffron, pink pepper and sea moss swirl over musks, suede and sandalwood against cool desolation. Composed by perfumer Chiaki Nomura and released in 2024.

The Story

Emperors they may be, but when a massive cyclone unleashes its merciless austral winds, the colony of penguins bows to its power. From such extremes the male penguin must guard his precious bundle: the egg passes tenderly from mother to father, their shared purpose, while she embarks on a perilous odyssey to the sea for food. He begins his own monotonous march, packed tightly in a circle of trudging penguins, so intent on protecting the egg that he does not notice the dazzling aurora australis over a lonely night sky. The fragrance is a reminder of nature’s harsh reality, a welcome blast.

How It Smells

Opening
Sharp, icy and mineral: Antarctic air and an ice accord with juniper berry.

Heart
Anticipation glimmers through cool desolation as pink pepper, saffron and ciste absolute add spice.

Dry Down
Softens into sea moss, suede, musks and sandalwood.

Saffron reimagined through modern luxury. Safran Secret by Maison Crivelli surrounds radiant spices and glowing saffron with airy, almost metallic nuances and warm blonde woods. Refined, mysterious and unforgettable, it is quiet power with magnetic sophistication.

The Story

Maison Crivelli's brief comes from a mysterious encounter Thibaud Crivelli had with a saffron field shrouded in very thick fog: bright, comforting saffron set against opaque, highly diffusive woods, for a deep, sensual and enigmatic scent.

How It Smells

Opening
Warm, luminous and immediately captivating, a rich wave of spices and saffron. It feels golden, smooth and slightly mysterious, like expensive saffron threads warming in cool air: elegant rather than loud, refined rather than sweet.

Heart
More modern and intriguing. The saffron takes on a slightly metallic, airy, almost mineral character while warm woods rise underneath, a contrast between radiant spice and sleek woods that reads as futuristic luxury. Many wearers compare the mood to polished skin, pressed fabric or a clean high-end boutique.

Dry Down
Smooth, woody and long-lasting, with blonde woods creating a soft but diffusive trail: sensual, clean and expensive-smelling, minimalist luxury with real presence.

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.

Small moments, electric feeling. Micro Love by Jusbox is a modern, intimate eau de parfum inspired by digital-age romance, where small moments create powerful emotions. Ozonic accord, crisp apple and neroli sit over cinnamon, violet and clary sage, resting on white cedar, suede and ambergris. Created by perfumer Dominique Ropion.

The Story

The name pairs the microchip, the heart and brain of technology, with love as a symbol of human feeling. Jusbox's lyric-inspired concept links it to U2's Zoo TV Tour, a futuristic stage and an era when technology met the band's blend of machines and humans. Minimal yet expressive, it captures the beauty of connection in its purest form.

How It Smells

Opening
A light, airy and electric touch: ozonic accord, crisp apple and neroli, modern and never overpowering.
