Opus XIV Royal Tobacco

Italian patisserie, glazed with blood orange. Xerjoff Casamorati Lira is a seductive gourmand that blends elegance with irresistible sweetness. Blood orange, bergamot and lavender give way to cinnamon and jasmine, then a smooth, creamy base of vanilla, caramel and musk.

The Story

Inspired by classic Italian patisserie, Lira turns rich dessert accords into a refined, luxurious scent. The house presents it as a tribute to vintage Italian perfumery, rooted in a Casamorati perfume first released in the late 1800s; the name is the Italian word for lyre. It belongs to Casamorati, the Xerjoff line honouring the historic C. Casamorati factory of Bologna.

Heart
A warm, sweet gourmand heart where cinnamon, jasmine and rose meet caramel and vanilla, with a distinct lemon-cake, dessert-like character that is sweet but smooth, never heavy.

Dry Down
Creamy, cosy and slightly powdery, with vanilla, caramel and musk wrapping the skin in a soft, luxurious finish, like a high-end bakery.

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.

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.

How It Smells

Crushed bitter herbs and evergreen resin, green power unleashed. Viride by Orto Parisi is green power unleashed. Bitter herbs, dark woods, sacred resins, tobacco and musk come together in a fragrance that feels wild, sophisticated and unforgettable: boldly primal yet refined, a trail of untamed elegance. Orto Parisi is the house of perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri.

The Story

The name is the Latin word for green. Viride was inspired by a visit to Yemen, where men wear crowns of aromatic herbs and flowers, worn for their appearance, their scent and, at times, relief from headaches. Orto Parisi, founded in 2014, honors Gualtieri's grandfather Vincenzo Parisi and his simple, garden-based way of life, and builds its fragrances on contrasts between the pleasant and the harsh, attraction and repulsion.

How It Smells

Opening
Intensely green, aromatic and powerful with wormwood, artemisia and lavender. It feels like crushed herbs, dark leaves and bitter green sap rather than fresh-cut grass: bold, earthy and immediately commanding.

Heart
The fragrance deepens and becomes forest-like. Jasmine adds a subtle smoothness, while cedar, fir balsam, fir and juniper create the sensation of walking through dense evergreen woods after rain. Tobacco begins to rise underneath, adding warmth and smoky texture.

Dry Down
Dark and grounding, with musk, tobacco, woods and resinous green notes. It smells primal, elegant and mysterious, with a stern masculine edge while remaining fully unisex.

The iconic Elysium turned up in intensity: crisp citrus, aromatic herbs and smooth woody depth. Elysium Eau Intense by Roja Parfums is a more powerful, refined interpretation of the iconic Elysium, created by Roja Dove. It elevates the original's signature freshness into something deeper and richer, balancing vibrant citrus, aromatic herbs and sensual woods. Clean, confident and unmistakably luxurious.

The Story

Roja Dove reimagined the original Elysium formula and intensified its fresh, woody and sensual character. Grapefruit and lime are amplified and layered with rhubarb, black pepper replaces pink pepper, cedarwood is developed with dry woods, and violet leaf is added as a final note. Tuberose lends volume to the fruits and links them to the base, while musks run through the whole composition, from a weightless version in the opening to an animalic one in the base.

How It Smells

Opening
Extremely fresh and vibrant, with juicy grapefruit, zesty lime and a slightly tart rhubarb that gives a crisp, modern edge, alongside bergamot, lavender and thyme. It feels clean, bright and immediately uplifting.

Heart
Smoother and more refined: apple and blackcurrant with soft florals, lily of the valley, orange blossom, rose de mai, jasmine de Grasse and tuberose, add a slightly sweet, polished layer without losing the airy feel.

Dry Down
Depth and masculinity arrive with woods, vetiver, cedarwood and ambergris, along with galbanum, cypriol, leather, benzoin, vanilla and musk, creating a clean yet sensual base that lingers on the skin.

With its vibrant, sun-dappled hues, the dense rainforest beckons invitingly. Yet within its misty depths, countless dangers lurk, slinking across the forest floor. Dangling high among the treetops may seem a dubious defence against peril, but for leisurely sloths the forest canopy offers a protective shroud. Safe in their leafy fortress, the sluggish creatures move so slowly even moss overtakes them. They snooze in a cradle of moist green aromas, oblivious to the chaos below.

Zoologist Sloth captures the tranquility of this sleepy beast in a soothing green essence. Calming lavender, chamomile, marigold and jasmine combine with the stillness of bittersweet hay and damp moss, stitched together by threads of luscious incense. The result is dreamy and exotic. As it settles on the skin, Sloth carries one up to a place where stresses simply tumble away.
