The Ghost in the Shell

Mediterranean fruit, sun-warmed and unapologetically radiant. Erba Pura by Xerjoff is radiant luxury in fragrance form. Sparkling Sicilian citrus, luscious Mediterranean fruits, creamy vanilla, sensual musk and glowing amber blend into a scent that feels vibrant, addictive and unforgettable. Bold sophistication with irresistible presence.

The Story

Erba Pura is part of Xerjoff's Vibe collection, each fragrance of which is presented as a mood to match the occasion. Its character is Mediterranean from the first spray: Sicilian orange and Calabrian bergamot at the top, a fruit accord of the region at the heart. It was created in 2019 by perfumer Christian Carbonnel.

How It Smells

Opening
Bright, juicy and immediately addictive: a vibrant burst of Sicilian orange, Calabrian bergamot and lemon. It feels like luxury fruit served in the Mediterranean sun, sparkling citrus with instant energy and elegance, bold, sweet and attention-grabbing from the first spray.

Heart
The fragrance turns richer and smoother around a signature Mediterranean fruits accord. Many people perceive tropical fruits such as mango, melon or mixed exotic fruit, giving a lush fruity heart that is playful yet upscale and responsible for Erba Pura's crowd-pleasing identity.

Dry Down
Warm, creamy and long-lasting, with white musk, Madagascar vanilla and amber. It settles into a musky, sweet cloud that smells clean, seductive and extremely noticeable. Bright at first, sensual later.

A dark vanilla bean painted white. Vanilla Powder Extrait by Matière Première is a luxurious, addictive vanilla in which dark Madagascar vanilla meets creamy white musks, soft coconut powder, palo santo and warm tonka bean. Richer and more intimate than the original Eau de Parfum, it wraps the skin in velvety sweetness and elegant depth.

The Story

Perfumer Aurélien Guichard, founder of Matière Première, imagined a dark vanilla bean painted white: a deep, supple vanilla with a salty facet, contrasted with modern white powders. The extrait raises the dosage of the hero ingredient, vanilla absolute from Fair for Life land in Madagascar, and adds a guest ingredient, Venezuelan tonka bean absolute, which unveils a new and unexpected facet of the original.

How It Smells

Opening
A fluffy veil of coconut powder and airy white musks gives a soft, skin-like sweetness.

Heart
The Madagascar vanilla becomes richer and smoother than in the original version, dark and supple rather than overly sweet, with a hint of salt.

Dry Down
Tonka bean adds almond-like warmth and toasted depth, while palo santo brings a subtle smoky woodiness. The effect is creamy, sensual, powdery and seductive: less loud than the Eau de Parfum, but deeper and more refined.

Soft, fluffy and deliciously sweet, like freshly whipped marshmallow dusted in powdered sugar, with raspberry and a touch of pink pepper. A creamy vanilla warmth keeps it rich and smooth.

The ocean in its rawest form. Megamare by Orto Parisi is a dense, woody marine fragrance: bright citrus, calone and seaweed over cedar, ambroxan and musk. Powerful, untamed and boldly artistic, it leaves a tidal wave of presence.

The Story

Composed by Alessandro Gualtieri for Orto Parisi, Megamare is an olfactory contemplation of the sea, treated as something intense rather than merely fresh. The brand frames it as a salty sweetness, shiny, inaccessible and cold, evoking horizons, depths and eternity.

How It Smells

Opening
Like a burst of ocean air, sharp with bergamot and lemon, salty, mineralic and intensely aquatic. This is not a soft beach scent but crashing waves on dark rock, with a bold, metallic edge.

Heart
The marine accord turns darker and more mysterious. Calone, seaweed and mineral nuances give almost haunting realism, while cedar keeps it dry so it never reads as simply watery.

Dry Down
Massive and enduring. Ambroxan, cedar and musk bring salty amber warmth and lingering ocean minerals, aggressive, artistic and addictive for the right wearer.

A sting of bergamot that melts into skin. Bergamask by Orto Parisi is brightness colliding with instinct. Explosive bergamot and raw, sensual musk create a fragrance that feels fresh, provocative and impossible to forget. Bold, magnetic and unapologetically alive.

The Story

Bergamask was released in 2014 by Orto Parisi, the house of perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri. The house calls it a perfume extract that reveals itself very slowly, not within hours, a sting that cuts through everything. The play is on bergamot and mask: Calabrian bergamot's freshness set against the intensity of musk, the pull between attraction and repulsion.

How It Smells

Opening
An explosive burst of bright bergamot, sharp, sparkling and almost blindingly fresh, like freshly cut citrus peel sprayed into the air. Loud, electric and unforgettable, with something deeper already waiting beneath.

Heart
The fragrance transforms dramatically. Clean citrus melts into warm, skin-like musk, a sensual contrast between freshness and raw intimacy. The bergamot keeps glowing in the background while the musks become richer, dirtier and more animalic depending on skin chemistry.

Dry Down
Huge, sensual and long-lasting: radiant citrus traces fused to warm skin musk for hours. It smells primal, sexy, clean, dirty and luxurious all at once.

Cool mint, bright green and the easy confidence of California. Etat Libre d'Orange You Or Someone Like You is a crisp, modern Eau de Parfum that blends invigorating mint with grapefruit, soft rose and clean musks. Uplifting and easy to wear, it was composed by perfumer Caroline Sabas and launched in 2017.

The Story

Created in collaboration with writer Chandler Burr, the fragrance takes its name from his novel set in Los Angeles, a city of dreamers chasing fame, love and fortune. Rather than capturing the smell of the city, it is the scent his fictional protagonist, an Englishwoman in the Hollywood Hills, might wear: contemporary, polished and a little detached. It captures freedom, sunshine and understated confidence in the unconventional spirit of Etat Libre d'Orange.

How It Smells

Opening
A burst of cool mint, bright, crisp and instantly refreshing, with a citrusy-green brightness from grapefruit and bergamot that keeps it lively.

Heart
A soft rose adds a gentle, airy elegance without becoming heavy or overly floral, alongside blackcurrant and anise.

Dry Down
Clean and smooth, with soft musks that make it feel effortless and wearable.

Heart
Softer and more complex. Rose, ambrette, woods, honeyed warmth, dried fruits and subtle spice emerge beneath the whiskey, a luxurious contrast between alcohol warmth and velvety sweetness. Elegant, seductive and highly addictive rather than harsh.

Dry Down
Warm, smooth and magnetic. Oak barrel woods, soft musk, ambery sweetness and lingering whiskey traces remain on skin for hours. It smells expensive, mysterious and deeply charismatic.
