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.

Amber Bloom by Electimuss London is the inaugural composition in the house's new Auras Collection (2026): the first chapter of a new olfactory chronicle.

Created by perfumer David Chieze, Amber Bloom is refined freshness with a warm afterglow — the aura of someone truly excelling in their element. It is a study in contrast: zesty citrus and exotic passion fruit suspended above warm amber and salt-touched marine notes, freshness rendered sophisticated rather than fleeting.

Picture a dusk wander through an ancient Mediterranean grove, where citrus trees unfurl seawards and branches hang heavy with sun-ripened fruit. The fragrance opens with an exhilarating burst of citrus — the sharp, vivid zest of grapefruit, mandarin, and bergamot — effervescent and alive, like pure light against the skin. This is the essence of clarity: a breath of Mediterranean air that instantly energises.

As Amber Bloom unfolds, the heart reveals an unexpected depth. Delicate lily of the valley mingles with juicy raspberry and lush passion fruit, while subtle salt notes drift through like a soft sea breeze kissing the skin — an aromatic luminosity at once modern and timeless. Here the composition balances fruity vibrancy with sophisticated restraint, never veering into excess.

The base grounds this luminous freshness in warmth and texture. Creamy tonka bean and sensual musk wrap around woody ambergris, conjuring that signature warm afterglow — the day's heat still lingering as the evening cools. It is the feeling of sun-warmed skin, of ancient Roman rituals reimagined for modern life, where wellbeing becomes atmosphere itself.

Bold, colourful, and textured, Amber Bloom transforms refined freshness into an invisible field of warmth that moves with you. Intense, effortless, quietly uplifting.

Fragrance Notes:

• Top Notes: Lemon, Grapefruit, Mandarin, Bergamot
• Heart Notes: Lily of the Valley, Salt Notes, Raspberry, Passionfruit
• Base Notes: Ambergris, Tonka Bean, Musk

A burst of juicy grapefruit and bergamot, bright and slightly tart, with jasmine and magnolia already smoothing the edges.

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.

Warm almond milk, saffron and Italian dessert in a velvet glass. Xerjoff Casamorati Italica is one of the most indulgent gourmands in niche perfumery, rich, creamy and irresistibly luxurious.

A tuberose-led white floral with nothing shy about it. Narcotic V by Nasomatto is pure seduction in fragrance form. Creamy tuberose, luminous jasmine, elegant lily, sensual musk and smooth woods create a scent that feels bold, feminine and impossible to forget. Richly intoxicating and unapologetically glamorous, it leaves a trail of magnetic desire.

The Story

Narcotic V. was released in 2007 by Nasomatto, the Italian project of perfumer Alessandro Gualtieri. The house describes it as the result of a quest for the overwhelming, addictive intensity of female sexual power, and the extrait is dressed accordingly: a lush white floral built around tuberose.

How It Smells

Lush, creamy and immediately intoxicating, with a wave of white florals. Tuberose takes center stage from the first spray, rich, buttery and deeply feminine, while jasmine and lily add brightness and elegance. It feels opulent and seductive right away, never shy or understated.

Heart

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.

The Story

A song of the sea: brine, ink and ambergris. Zoologist Squid pairs tangy salt, crisp incense and a sweet, cloudy black ink accord with the moody glow of ambergris. Perfumer Céline Barel composed it for Zoologist Perfumes in 2019.

The Story

The vast ocean swells and contracts, caught in the relentless tug of the moon. Beneath the surface a school of squid emerges, strange elastic forms propelled from the deep in a frantic search for sustenance, and when predators lunge they are foiled by blinding jets of murky ink. The hunt ends abruptly as a monolith materializes: a massive sperm whale that dives, leaving a temporary peace in its wake. Decades on, relics of the battle resurface as lumps of ambergris, expelled by the whale and polished by the salty currents, wash ashore. Waste or flotsam? To the perfumer this elusive substance is nothing less than treasure. Zoologist Squid tells a melancholy tale through tangy brine, crisp incense and sweet, cloudy ink, all united by the moody aroma of ambergris, and like the depths that inspired it, it ripples with mystery.

How It Smells

Opening
Pink pepper, a bright solar salicylate and crisp incense open with a sparkle of sea air.

Heart
A black ink accord and a salty accord sit alongside the resinous sweetness of opoponax.

Dry Down
Ambergris, benzoin and musk close in a warm, balsamic, faintly salty glow.
