An olfactory journey into Arabian luxury. Liwa by Widian sets golden saffron, luminous jasmine and bergamot over warm amber wood, then settles into sandalwood, patchouli, vetiver and smoky oud incense. Rich, elegant and deeply captivating, it is boldly refined.

The Story

Liwa is an extrait de parfum from Widian, the Abu Dhabi-based house that builds its perfumes around the oud, amber, incense and rare flowers of the Arabian world. It has a regal Middle Eastern character, but one that is refined and modern rather than overpowering.

Rich, mysterious and immediately luxurious. Saffron, jasmine, bergamot and artemisia give a spicy-floral radiance, golden saffron meeting smooth jasmine and aromatic herbs, exotic, polished and very high-end.

Heart
Amber wood, white flowers and geranium form a warm, elegant heart, silky and opulent, balancing floral softness with glowing amber richness.

Dry Down
Cedarwood, patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver and oud incense settle into a smoky, resinous, woody base.

Old-world French polish, effortlessly worn. The Original is the iconic fragrance that launched the legend of Eight & Bob: a timeless scent of effortless sophistication and refined masculinity, blending citrus freshness, spice and smooth woods into a classic signature. Polished, versatile and undeniably upscale, it is luxury in its most understated form.

The Story

The Original is inspired by the private composition of Albert Fouquet, a perfume enthusiast of elite French society in the early twentieth century who blended scents for his own use. In 1937, on the Riviera, an American student, the young John F. Kennedy, admired his scent and asked for a sample; he later wrote back for eight more, plus one for "Bob", and the bottles became known as Eight & Bob.

How It Smells

Opening
Crisp citrus freshness and aromatic herbs, with cardamom and pink pepper, give an immediately polished feeling.

Heart
Soft spice, violet leaves, labdanum and dried wood emerge, warm and refined without becoming heavy.

Dry Down

The joyful resonance of sound and light. Gong by Floraïku Paris is a luminous, playful eau de parfum that opens with bright yuzu and mandarin, turns warm and gently spiced, and rests on sandalwood, amber and smooth woods. Modern, radiant and effortlessly chic.

The Story

Floraïku Paris created Gong as a sparkling, uplifting scent inspired by the resonance of sound and light, and retailers describe it as a tribute to the ritual sounds of a Buddhist temple. Despite a smoky, incense-like depth, it contains no agarwood: that depth comes from guaiac wood, amber and benzoin.

A crisp, mouthwatering burst of yuzu and Italian mandarin with pink pepper, bright and uplifting.

Heart
Turns warm and spiced, with black pepper, clove, Siam benzoin and a sweet, cookie-like dorayaki accord.

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.

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.

A sun-soaked shore after a long voyage. Anelo by Pernoire is an elegant, captivating fragrance built around contrast: freshness and warmth, softness and intensity, refinement and sensuality. Pineapple, pomelo and mango give a bright, tropical-chypre opening before dry amber, vetiver and patchouli bring a richer, more enveloping character. Composed by perfumer Andreas Wilhelm for the Swiss niche house Pernoire.

The Story

Pernoire is an independent Swiss house founded in 2020 in Basel by childhood friends Robin Dünner and Nico Mannino, who conceive each fragrance as an “olfactory personality”. Anelo, part of the Odus collection and the house's best-selling scent, carries the spirit of adventure: it is inspired by sailors with a drive to explore the world, and aims to evoke stepping off a boat onto a sunny shore. The name nods to the pineapple-and-pomelo pairing at its core. Modern yet timeless, it carries the distinctive artistic identity of Pernoire with a polished, confident, effortlessly luxurious feel.

How It Smells

Opening
Freshly sliced pineapple, pomelo and mandarin: bright, juicy and uplifting, with a sophisticated brightness.

A night flight from a tropical fruit feast to a damp, mineral cave.

Perfumer Prin Lomros composed this 2020 reinterpretation for Zoologist Perfumes.

A caravan of dried fruit, incense and oud crossing an endless desert. Zoologist Camel pairs rose and jasmine-infused dried fruits and sweet palm date with frankincense, myrrh, cinnamon and amber, then settles into oud, sandalwood and vanilla. Perfumer Christian Carbonnel composed it for Zoologist Perfumes in 2017.

The Story

On a trek through an unforgiving desert, starting point and destination are indistinguishable. Terracotta-hued dunes twist and writhe, their shapes ever shifting, and only the merciless sun and aloof constellations can be trusted to point the way. Weighed down by treasures, some tempting the eyes with their glittering sheen, others enticing the taste buds with exotic aromas, the camel plods toward a far-off marketplace. Water is a dream for now, the taste of sweet dates a distant memory. In Zoologist Camel, beautiful aromas of rose and jasmine-infused, succulent dried fruits are joined along the way by an alluring blend of incense, myrrh, amber and cinnamon, then met by animalistic musks and authentic oud in a rich tapestry. This sensual caravan of fragrance carries you along on the camel's long, lonely journey across the ageless desert.

How It Smells

Opening
Sticky dried fruits and palm date, glossed with rose and a thread of frankincense.

Heart
Myrrh, incense, amber and cinnamon warm the middle, with jasmine, orange blossom and cedar adding floral and woody lift.

Dry Down
Oud, sandalwood, tonka bean, vanilla and vetiver sit over musks and a civet accent for a deep, resinous finish.

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.
