Purpose 50

Tropical intensity wrapped in luxury. Oud Maracujá by Maison Crivelli is a bold, seductive Extrait de Parfum where vibrant passionfruit, luminous Turkish rose and saffron meet precious oud, rich leather, glowing amber and creamy vanilla. Exotic sophistication with irresistible presence, composed by perfumer Jordi Fernandez.

The Story

The house frames Oud Maracujá as a passion fruit tasting in remote oud wood forests: the richness of oud set against bright, exotic fruit, in a thirst-quenching fruity oud that is unisex and contemporary in design. Vibrant passionfruit wrapped around refined oud, rather than buried by it, makes it one of the most unusual openings in modern perfumery.

How It Smells

Opening
Bold and exotic: a radiant burst of passionfruit and saffron over Turkish rose, juicy, tart and sparkling, like fresh tropical fruit meeting warm spice and velvet petals.

Heart
Darker and richer as oud, benzoin and Indonesian patchouli leaf rise through the fruity brightness, a luxurious contrast between tropical sweetness and smoky woody depth.

Dry Down
Warm and sensual, a creamy resinous base of leather, akigalawood, amber vanilla and labdanum with a glowing sweetness.

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.

A primeval, smoke-charred roar of resin, leather and ancient blooms. Zoologist Tyrannosaurus Rex pairs fir, black pepper and laurel with a heart of rose, champaca and ylang ylang, over a base of cade, frankincense, leather, patchouli and cedar. Perfumer Antonio Gardoni composed it for Zoologist Perfumes, which released it in 2018.

The Story

A sultry heat wafts across the land, lapped up greedily by the abundant flora that thrives in its midst. Trees soar to majestic heights and plants flower for the first time, their petals giving birth to a world rich in diversity. The Cretaceous period comes of age against a backdrop scorched by wildfire and lightning strikes, and over this turbulent landscape a massive predator looms. Giants rule the earth, but even giants can be cut down by the powerful jaws of the fearsome tyrannosaur, who stands tall and fears nothing until a fire in the sky signals the end of the reign. Zoologist Tyrannosaurus Rex is a gargantuan scent that sinks its teeth into the world of delicate fragrances and rips it wide open. Primitive woods and florals snatch you away to an ancient era; smoky, charred wood warns of smouldering fire, while droplets of metallic rose oxide offer a chilling premonition of blood-lust. It is sometimes menacing, sometimes fascinating, but never ordinary.

How It Smells

Opening
Fir, laurel leaf, black pepper and nutmeg hit first, lifted by bergamot and neroli.

Heart
Rose, jasmine, champaca, osmanthus, geranium and ylang ylang bloom with a slightly metallic edge.

Dry Down
Cade smoke, frankincense and resins join leather, cedar, patchouli, sandalwood and vanilla in a dark, charred finish.

How It Smells

Heart
Jasmine, osmanthus and Turkish rose bloom through the spice, lending a velvety floral elegance before the darker base rises.

Tony Iommi Deified by Xerjoff is rock legend energy captured in scent. Spiced apple, rich leather, dark oud, velvety rose, warm vanilla, and glowing amber create a fragrance that feels bold, rebellious, and unforgettable. Luxury with dangerous charisma.

What It Smells Like

Tony Iommi Deified opens dark, bold, and immediately electrifying with a powerful blend of saffron, cinnamon, and apple. The first impression feels spicy, juicy, and intense—sweet fruit wrapped in warm exotic spice with instant rockstar energy. It is dramatic from the first spray and impossible to ignore. 

As it develops, the fragrance becomes richer and more decadent. Leather, rose, patchouli, and oud create a smoky sensual heart where darkness meets elegance. The leather is smooth and luxurious, while oud and patchouli add depth and power. This stage feels rebellious, seductive, and highly polished. 

The dry down is warm, addictive, and unforgettable with vanilla, amber, musk, and woods. It settles into a creamy dark base that feels expensive, magnetic, and built for attention. Sweetness remains, but balanced by smoky depth and leather.

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.

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.

How It Smells

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.

Dry Down
Animalic musk and leather, mossy stones, teak wood and vetiver close in a dark, earthy finish.

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.

The frail glow of the waning moon dwindles until only impenetrable blackness persists across the grasslands. A herd of deer venture tentatively into the expanse. Though their long necks dip to feed, their dainty legs remain tense, poised to flee. Nearby, gleaming gold eyes pierce the gloom, and silky ears stiffen, attuned to the softest tremor. The tiger advances haltingly, intent on its prey, anticipating a moment of vulnerability. In a seamless motion, it leaps and descends upon its victim, its razor-sharp fangs sinking deep into the deer’s throat. As the deer’s life fades, its herd is already gone, evaporating into the night.

Like the thrill inspired by a low, rumbling growl cutting through silence, Zoologist Tiger couples danger with majesty. Vetiver’s earthy body is licked with stripes of kumquat, saffron and jasmine in an elegant pattern. Incense lurks at the edges, shrouded by smoky undertones of papyrus and ebony wood. Tiger arouses intrigue, putting those around you on high alert.
