A sun-soaked shore after a long voyage. Anelo by Pernoire is an elegant, captivating fragrance built around contrast: freshness and warmth, softness and intensity, refinement and sensuality. Pineapple, pomelo and mango give a bright, tropical-chypre opening before dry amber, vetiver and patchouli bring a richer, more enveloping character. Composed by perfumer Andreas Wilhelm for the Swiss niche house Pernoire.

The Story

Pernoire is an independent Swiss house founded in 2020 in Basel by childhood friends Robin Dünner and Nico Mannino, who conceive each fragrance as an “olfactory personality”. Anelo, part of the Odus collection and the house's best-selling scent, carries the spirit of adventure: it is inspired by sailors with a drive to explore the world, and aims to evoke stepping off a boat onto a sunny shore. The name nods to the pineapple-and-pomelo pairing at its core. Modern yet timeless, it carries the distinctive artistic identity of Pernoire with a polished, confident, effortlessly luxurious feel.

How It Smells

Opening
Freshly sliced pineapple, pomelo and mandarin: bright, juicy and uplifting, with a sophisticated brightness.

Heart
Mango, ginger and magnolia add tropical sweetness, warm spice and airy florals.

Dry Down
Dry amber, vetiver and patchouli form an earthy, woody foundation, smooth, warm and sensual, balancing the brighter nuances with a deeper, elegant dry down.

A forest of sequoia and sacred frankincense. Opus XVI Timber by Amouage is an elegant woody composition of cypress, juniper, cardamom, lavandin, fir balsam, frankincense and a creamy palo santo and sandalwood base.

The Story

Inspired by the giant sequoias of California and the frankincense trees of Oman, Timber explores strength, wisdom and nature. The Library Collection takes its cue from libraries and the knowledge they hold, and "Opus" is the Latin word for a writer's or perfumer's work.

Cypress, juniper, cardamom, pink pepper and cocoa: fresh, spicy, aromatic and subtly textured.

Heart
Lavandin, fir balsam and Hojari frankincense bring a green, resinous brightness with a sacred, smoky depth.

An endless summer of sun, surf and sea air. Wave of Freedom by JUSBOX is a vibrant, creamy fruity-woody Eau de Parfum made in Italy, with sparkling pear, tropical coconut and pineapple settling onto patchouli, amber and tonka bean. It was created by perfumer Bruno Jovanovic and released in 2026.

The Story

Inspired by the carefree surf culture of 1960s California and the music of The Beach Boys, it captures the feeling of an endless summer filled with sunshine, ocean breezes and freedom, a nostalgic, radiant tribute to friendship, music and positive energy.

How It Smells

Opening
A juicy, crisp pear, natural and sparkling rather than candy-like, with a touch of warm cinnamon that keeps the fruit from becoming overly sweet.

Heart
A creamy tropical heart: the coconut is smooth and refined, not sunscreen-like, while pineapple adds brightness and a sunny, beachy character.

Dark cherry liqueur over creamy vanilla woods, with a smoky, boozy edge. Rouge Smoking Extrait by BDK Parfums is a darker, richer and intensely sensual interpretation of the iconic Rouge Smoking, created by perfumers Amélie Bourgeois and Margaux Le Paih Guérin. Juicy cherry, red mandarin and almond open the scent, a creamy milk accord and balsamic resins form the heart, and saffron, oud wood, black vanilla, rum and patchouli leave a glamorous, addictive trail.

The Story

The fragrance is inspired by the electric energy of Paris' Pigalle district, where art and nightlife meet. This extrait concentration reimagines the signature cherry, amber and tonka accord of the original with greater depth and seduction, deeper, bolder and much more powerful than the original.

How It Smells

Opening
Juicy and vibrant from the cherry and red mandarin, softened by almond sweetness, with a bright lift of pink pepper, bergamot and elemi.

Heart
Warmer and more seductive: milk accord, tonka bean and Peru balsam, with labdanum adding balsamic richness.

Leather stripped to its raw essence. Cuoium by Orto Parisi layers rich hides with incense, cade wood, labdanum and patchouli, lifted by black pepper and mandarin and softened by violet and vanilla. Bold, sensual and uncompromising.

The Story

Cuoium is presented by Orto Parisi as an animal tribute to the know-how of the leather crafts. Warm incense and violet sweetness meet leather, with mandarin adding citrus freshness. The bottle itself nods to the craft: it is the only Orto Parisi fragrance sold with a removable, reusable vegetable leather cover.

How It Smells

Opening
Dark, intense and commanding, with leather, smoke and resinous warmth. Black pepper and mandarin add a sharp lift, like opening the door of an old leather workshop filled with expensive hides and smouldering woods.

Heart
The leather grows smoother and more textured. Animalic nuances, earthy woods and smoky balsamic facets emerge with a touch of violet, a raw sensuality that feels both dangerous and refined. This is dark leather, not soft suede.

Dry Down
Warm, smoky and unforgettable. Cade wood, cedar, incense, labdanum, patchouli and vanilla hold close to the skin with lingering leather.

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.

How It Smells

Opening
Rich, dark and immediately seductive: juicy black cherry wrapped in smooth amaretto liqueur and bittersweet dark chocolate, luxurious and decadent.

The Story

The bright blue sapphires of the Crown Jewels, treasured by the British Royal Family, are the inspiration for this fragrance.

Patchouli reclaimed: rebellious, refined and unapologetically elegant. Misfit by Arquiste centers on patchouli in its most elegant form. Inspired by outsiders and rule-breakers, it blends earthy richness with smooth woods, warm resins and sensual spices. Developed with perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux, it transforms a classic note into something contemporary and unforgettable.

The Story

The concept follows things that go in and out of fashion. Patchouli was once prized, carried on Kashmiri shawls, then fell out of favor with the bourgeoisie, and Misfit reclaims it. Arquiste sets the scene in a September 1877 bedroom in Marseille, among bohemians and courtesans, with French lavender, musky ambers and exotic balsams. Developed with Rodrigo Flores-Roux.

How It Smells

Opening
Calabrian bergamot, carrot seed, angelica root and French lavender open with an aromatic freshness.

Heart
Bulgarian rose, ambrette seed, Akigalawood and styrax add floral and woody warmth and a resinous edge.

Dry Down
Patchouli, a proprietary combination of two fractioned essences, is deep, smooth and slightly chocolatey, with cistus, tonka bean and tolu balsam adding creamy, sweet and resinous depth.
