On the coast of Ras Al Jinz, mid-summer, when the sun is in the middle of the sky, Ashore, depicts a mirage of the senses.

This intoxicatingly white floral fragrance of jasmine, ambergris and sandalwood offers an olfactive interpretation of the union of the sun, the sand and the waves while the cardamon and the turmeric recall the scent of spices from India.

From the heart of ancient Egypt, Aswan parfum extrait, will take you back in history. Radiant, juicy, ripe fruits: Italian bergamot, raspberry and pink pepper are just the prelude. At the heart of the composition, the focus shifts to dry cedar accords, the delicate sweetness of violet leaves and the powdery, enveloping tones of ambergris to celebrate the essence of the Orient in the base: patchouli, heady vanilla, musk, coumarin and leather notes.
Atardecer, meaning sunset in Spanish, is a show-stopping unique fragrance: opening with green fig and violet leaves and Mexican tuberose, the fragrance develops into the heart with a Oud trifecta using Laotian Oud, Bangladeshi Oud and Indian Oud followed by a cool and mineral accord of wet earth, smoke, leather and cedar. The base of the fragrance warms up with Papantla vanilla, Chapas coffee, Veracruz tobacco and oakmoss.

Inspiration: March 1997. Walking through the forest, the sky begins to rumble and turn gray. We look for shelter. In the distance, a cave on the side of the mountain. Upon entering, we are greeted by a cold and mineral scent of rock and millennia. We see the rain falling from inside as if we were admiring it from a window. An aroma of wet earth invades the senses. I start a fire to prepare some coffee. My jacket gives off traces of my favorite perfume of leather and violet leaves that, due to use, has been impregnated for life in it. I search in my backpack for a Havana cigar that I had been saving for a special moment, I light it and the smoke mixes with the strong and intoxicating perfume of tuberose that she carries. We sit on the ground with our backs resting on the rock and we prepare to wait for the rain to pass while we watch the beginning of the sunset.

Athanor is carried by spiritual exploration. The fascination of the alchemist’s effort to search for and find ways to convert the plain and banal into beauty and a higher level. Spiritualty through mystique. That’s why Athanor came alive.
Athanor: The Crucible. The melting spot where metals meet and change. The burning flames underneath – Incendium Amoris – The Fire of Love. Like a living creature can change when exposed to the heat of life. For good or worse.
Interpretation of the alchemistic work through the nose:
A diffused heat, or rather a glow. Human baseness begins to dissolve. A translucent silver, cold but alive. Purification. And then a vibrant gold is revealed behind the initial heat. The result of the transformation. Spiritual love that unites.
Listen to your nose. Always. Feel the Sulphur evaporating from the process. Giving way to a delicate body of saffron and flowers, finding its space between incense and precious wood. Let the Athanor enhance your personality and lead your way.
Athanor’s ambitious project has involved great artists and countless hours. After two years of dedicated craftmanship and cooperation the olfactory formulation was signed by Luca Maffei and acknowledged by Stefania Squeglia
The new and third member of Extreme Talismans in the Talismans Collection of Mendittorosa.

Athenaeum is the distillation of a once forgotten yet fond olfactory memory, awakened upon a chance encounter at the local athenaeum. It is the fragmented and hazy reminiscence of a rural childhood found once more in the urban landscape.
Upon entering the athenaeum one is struck by the overwhelming aroma of degrading pulp and ink, shrouded in a haze of sun-kissed dust. Without haste, the smell transports you to arable mid-summer fields and days lost in swaying pastures, nose buried in hundreds of papery leaves, crops and mulchy woodland all around.
Like gauzy sunshine whistling through rugged lands, Athenaeum is as comforting as it is solitary. A fragrance crafted for reflection.
Athenaeum expertly showcases sustainably-sourced, hand harvested Scottish Lavender. Jorum Studio Athenaeum is the first master-crafted perfume to make use of Scottish-grown, harvested and distilled biodynamic perfume materials.

The heat on the felucca was paralleled only by the greatness of the majestic temples of Karnak. The sacred Nile and the gods kept me company, gleaming the jasmine, shimmering the mandarin and the bergamot. Tonight, a sublime sunset descended to warm the unexplored expanses. I dozed in the shade of a temple from which emanated sandalwood
Awake revisits the craziness of coffee through a concentrate of unstable energy that finds its power in bitter scents.
Everyone knows where they first really fell in love with coffee. For us, it was the feted Bluebells Cafe on Portobello Road - the place we came to get our morning fix, the antidote to the night before. Awake is a fragrance that captures the evocative smell of a warm coffee shop on a cold West London day; the freshly ground beans, the steam, the heat, the bitter luxury.

In his classic novel À la recherche du temps perdu, the writer Marcel Proust showed how you can be transported back to your childhood by a scent or taste. For Proust, it was a small cake called a petite madeleine that did it. For Akro's Olivier and Anaïs Cresp, it's the lemon cupcakes at Carnaby Street's Crumbs & Doilies.
Whenever they're in London, they make a pilgrimage to the renowned bakery, looking for that transportative experience - one that reminds them of long lost days, trips to the United States and those cosy afternoons hiding from the chaos of Central London. In honour of the Crumbs & Dollies cupcakes and the evocative power of sweet treats, Akro has created a new fragrance: BAKE, a scent to remind you of a childhood treats and better times.

Baraonda smells like the pleasures of fall, painted with a light hand. A tumbler of whiskey held up to catch the glow from an open fire. Delicate little glass bowls holding red berries, quince, and apples baked slowly until they fall apart. An old book, open on the lap, filling the air with the dry, papery scent of lignin. A hint of caramelized wood resin dancing around the edges of the room but never closing in. Baraonda takes the heavy oil paints of the boozy-gourmand genre and uses them to make a watercolor so exquisite that it will have you savoring its taste on your tongue long after you’ve worn it.
The unmistakable smell of risotto bianco and a minty, peppery kick as the ultra fresh basil warms on the dish.

Sun-drenched spring air infuses the tangle of timbers the beavers call home, inviting the family to venture from their cozy den. A sparse winter diet of dry buds and twigs gives way to a juicy salad of fresh waterlilies and leaves. The drive to build is awakened and soon the industrious carpenters are hard at work. Yet over the rustle of branches and the slapping of tails on wet mud, a hammering is heard. In a nearby maple forest, farmers tap thick trunks, creating channels through which sugar-laden sap can flow. Unfazed, the beavers toil on. In tandem they work, the beavers crafting lodges while farmers harvest sweet sap, guiding it to a sugar shack where alchemy will transform it to a rich, golden syrup.
Evoking the onset of spring, Zoologist Beaver Maple Edition combines fresh florals with the delightful sweetness of cocoa-infused maple syrup. Within smoky woods laced with earthy vetiver and patchouli, castoreum and vanilla offer a cozy haven. Like a carefully-crafted lodge of a beaver family, this scent offers warmth while hinting at hidden depths.

In the claustrophobic hive, a deafening buzz offers evidence of the bees' devotion to duty, not a single worker pausing to question its role in perpetual grind of life in the queendom.
Like the frantic hustle of the bee through a maze of multi-faceted scents, Zoologist Bee delivers a surreal experience.
