About the perfumer – Quentin Bisch →

Chilled hibiscus tea over crushed berries, spiced with leather and mint. Hibiscus Mahajád by Maison Crivelli is flamboyant luxury captured in scent. Vibrant hibiscus, juicy cassis, luminous Damask rose, cool mint, sensual leather and creamy vanilla create a fragrance that feels bold, glamorous and unforgettable: powerful elegance with irresistible presence. Created by perfumer Quentin Bisch.

The Story

Released in 2021, Hibiscus Mahajád grew from founder Thibaud Crivelli’s experience of drinking hibiscus tea in a gemstone market. The perfume builds on the tea’s tart, fruity character, with rose and vanilla accentuating its rosy, vanillic side, and sets the brightness of hibiscus against spiced leather and spearmint. Maison Crivelli, founded in 2018, centers each creation on an unexpected discovery of a raw material.

How It Smells

Opening
Bold, vibrant and immediately unforgettable, a dazzling blend of hibiscus, cassis, peppermint and cinnamon. It feels juicy, sparkling and electric, like chilled hibiscus tea poured over crushed berries with a flash of fresh mint.

Heart
Richer and more sensual. Damask rose and hibiscus bloom into a lush floral heart that feels velvety, jammy and luxurious, while leather and ambrette add texture and warmth, a seductive contrast between sweetness and depth.

Dry Down
Warm and creamy, with vanilla, musks, ambery warmth and soft leather. It settles into an opulent cloud that smells rich, magnetic and impossible to ignore, with notably strong projection.

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.

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.

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.

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.

How It Smells

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

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

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.

Dry Down
Balsamic labdanum and smoky vetiver, with a leathery, resinous warmth.

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.

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.

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.

Ripe fig, passion fruit and pink guava sit over an earthy soil accord.

Hay, incense, mineral notes and night-blooming jasmine turn the fruit rustic and cool.

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.

Bitter dark chocolate dusted with chili, over leather and skin. Boccanera by Orto Parisi is dark temptation in fragrance form. Bitter cacao, burning spice, sensual musk, supple leather and warm woods collide in a scent that feels provocative, luxurious and unforgettable: boldly seductive, a trail of dangerous elegance. Orto Parisi is the house of perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri.

The Story

Boccanera is a gourmand inspired by dark chocolate with chili, meant to balance taste and scent, attraction and unease. The name means dark mouth in Italian. Orto Parisi, founded in 2014 as a tribute to Gualtieri's grandfather Vincenzo Parisi, treats the body as a garden whose scents reflect the soul, and explores contrasts between pleasant and harsh, attraction and repulsion.

How It Smells

Opening
Dark, spicy and immediately seductive, with black pepper, chili pepper, ginger and cacao. It feels like bitter dark chocolate dusted with hot spice: warm, sensual and slightly dangerous.

Heart
More intimate. A soft jasmine nuance appears beneath the spicy cocoa accord, while chocolate, musk, leather and patchouli rise, a sensual contrast between gourmand darkness and raw, skin-like warmth. It is deep, smooth and very classy, with a dark chocolate character.

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.
