About the perfumer – Quentin Bisch →

Marc-Antoine Barrois Tilia Eau de Parfum is one of the most elegant floral niche releases in recent years. Created by Quentin Bisch, Tilia revolves around linden blossom (lime blossom), giving the fragrance a golden, sunny, airy feeling that many people describe as “summer in a bottle.”

How It Smells

Tilia opens with a soft radiant floral brightness — airy linden blossom mixed with jasmine sambac and sweet broom flower. The scent quickly develops into a honeyed floral cloud with powdery heliotrope and a smooth modern woody-musky base.

Fragrance Notes: Linden Blossom, Broom Jasmine, Vetiver, Heliotrope, Woody Accord, Ambroxan.

Warm milk, green pasture and soft flowers, a scent that feels like home. Zoologist Cow is a gentle, unisex floral built on sage, apple and fresh milk, with lily of the valley, heliotrope, violet and jasmine over cedar, vetiver, benzoin and amber. Perfumer Nathalie Feisthauer composed it for Zoologist Perfumes, which released it in 2022.

The Story

Lush green pastures tumble toward the horizon beneath the imposing silhouette of a mountain range. Cumulus clouds roll across a bright blue sky, their shadows gliding over a peacefully grazing herd. In a corner of the meadow a tiny calf braces quivering limbs and, with a mighty lurch, stumbles up to take its maiden steps, its velvet snout rooting at its mother until warm milk signals a satisfying welcome to this vast new world. Zoologist Cow brings to mind a bucolic scene, a myriad of scents from Mother Nature's nurturing bosom: innocent florals sway among soft grasses while apple gently sweetens the soft aroma of fresh milk. The result is a place both familiar and reassuring, where warm arms unfold in a loving embrace, a place called home.

How It Smells

Opening
Crisp apple and herbal sage give a fresh, grassy first impression.

Heart
A soft milk note wraps lily of the valley, heliotrope, violet and jasmine in a powdery, creamy floral heart.

Dry Down
Cedarwood and vetiver ground the scent, while benzoin, musks and amber leave a warm, comforting trail.

Gothic, powdery and smoke-tinged, a night flight toward the flame. Zoologist Moth opens with a heavy dose of dark spices, settles into honeyed rose and powdery florals, and trails away over oud, guaiac wood, nagarmotha and smoke. Perfumer Tomoo Inaba composed it for Zoologist Perfumes, which released it in 2018.

The Story

Their days are spent secluded in camouflage, the intricate patterns of their wings disguising them against a coarse backdrop of bark and rock. When they finally stir, even their flight is concealed beneath the cover of night. Moonlight ripples off a delicate coating of tiny hairs as feathered antennae guide them in search of a mate, yet one temptation can lure them from their quest: should they succumb to the flame, the urge to procreate may be quashed in a wisp of smoke and a smattering of ashes. At first encounter, the rich, gothic scent of Zoologist Moth may surprise, but soon it hypnotizes. A heavy dose of dark spices jolts the senses before settling into a dusting of honey-sweet rose and powdery florals, then takes flight on an exotic journey of nagarmotha, guaiac wood and patchouli, with a smoky undertone that reminds you of the danger within the tantalizing flame.

How It Smells

Opening
Black pepper, cinnamon, clove, cumin, nutmeg and saffron sharpen a bright lemon top.

Heart
Rose, iris, heliotrope, jasmine, mimosa and muguet form a dry, powdery floral heart sweetened with honey.

Dry Down
Oud, guaiac wood, nagarmotha, patchouli, vetiver and resins sit over ambergris and musk, with smoke drifting through.

A basso voice rendered in scent: bright, bitter citrus laid over a deep, earthy foundation. Basso is a unisex Eau de Parfum from Sospiro, composed by perfumer Christian Provenzano and built on contrast. Crisp grapefruit gives way to a heart of florals and resins, then to a structured base of woods, spices and earthy notes. Polished, masculine-leaning and quietly intense, it is fresh with real depth.

The Story

Sospiro draws its inspiration from classical music, and Basso takes its cue from the deep, commanding tone of a basso voice in opera. The house frames it as a powerful bass within a symphony of scents, balancing strength with softness, with fresh brightness set against rich, earthy depth. It was created by Christian Provenzano and released in 2022.

How It Smells

Opening
Bright, slightly bitter grapefruit, crisp and energetic, makes an immediate impression.

Heart
The scent turns textured and complex. Labdanum adds a resinous, slightly leathery warmth, while carnation and Mayflower bring a subtle spicy-floral edge.

Dry Down
The base settles into a woody, earthy and spicy finish. Vetiver, cedar, oakmoss and pepper, with sandalwood, nutmeg, guaiac wood, galbanum and celery seeds, form a deep, masculine structure that feels clean yet grounded.

Polished oud, spiced and softened by creamy woods. Carved Oud by Thameen London is a sophisticated, modern oud extrait built around a rare South Indian oud. It opens with cardamom, pink pepper, cypress and cypriol, deepens into cedarwood, patchouli, iris and oud, and finishes in a smooth base of vetiver, amber, musk, sandalwood and vanilla.

The Story

Carved Oud is inspired by the artistry of ancient temple carvings and regal adornment, and by an Indian ritual of adorning a woman with perfumes and jewels in sixteen stages. The South Indian oud at its center is meant to recall the incense burned in Indian temples, lending the composition a sacred, ceremonial atmosphere.

How It Smells

Opening
Spicy and aromatic, with cardamom and pink pepper adding warmth without harshness over cypress and smoky cypriol.

Heart
The oud is polished and wearable, blended seamlessly with cedarwood, patchouli and iris rather than turning animalic or overpowering.

Dry Down
Creamy sandalwood, amber, vanilla and musk, grounded by vetiver and labdanum, leave a soft, luxurious trail of exceptional depth. Elegant and versatile, for those who want oud with sophistication rather than heaviness.

Volcanic soil, smoldering birch and a flicker of raspberry. Terroni by Orto Parisi is earth set on fire. Smoldering woods, volcanic smoke, dark resins, warm spice and sensual sweetness collide in a fragrance that feels raw, powerful and unforgettable. Fearless, magnetic and deeply primal.

The Story

Terroni was released in 2017 by Orto Parisi, the house of perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri. The house sets it in the soil, with the thought that there is something fulfilling about putting your hands in the earth and that roots shape a person's character. Its cap is tumbled gunmetal inlaid with volcanic stone, meant to evoke the beginning of the Earth, and the scent itself is spicy, smoky, slightly nutty and somewhat mysterious.

How It Smells

Opening
Dark, fiery and immediately intense, a striking blend of smoke, warm spices and a subtle fruity sweetness from raspberry. The first impression is volcanic, like burning woods, glowing embers and scorched earth with something seductive hiding underneath.

Heart
Deeper and richer. Birch, amber, benzoin and woods create a molten, smoky heart that feels resinous, earthy and powerful. The raspberry stays in the background, a mysterious sweetness that keeps the smoke from turning dry or harsh. Many wearers describe burning forest, hot stone and smoldering warmth.

Dry Down
Massive, sensual and unforgettable. Guaiac wood, vetiver, cedar, musk, patchouli, tonka and vanilla leave a warm, earthy trail that lasts for hours. It smells dangerous, magnetic and deeply artistic.

Warm, smooth and addictive. Patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver and evernyl create a mossy-woody base with soft sweetness, quietly powerful rather than loud.

Above The Waves by Etat Libre d’Orange is a luminous and uplifting fragrance that captures the feeling of standing at the edge of the ocean, where sky and sea blend into endless possibility. Bright, airy, and effortlessly modern, it evokes a sense of freedom and calm—like sunlight dancing on water. This scent is clean yet expressive, offering a refreshing take on aquatic perfumery with a subtle artistic twist that feels both serene and energizing.

How It Smells
Fresh, breezy, and slightly salty—like ocean air on a warm day.

It opens with a crisp aquatic brightness that immediately feels clean and expansive. There’s a soft citrus sparkle in the background, adding a touch of lightness, while gentle marine notes create that “sea breeze” effect without going overly synthetic.
