Maison Francis. Kurkdjian Paris a La Rose
Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s A la rose eau de parfum holds two varieties of rose that bestow the radiance and richness of their petals.

Finally, a woody cedar and musk accord mingles with Centifolia rose from Grasse to release an airy and carnal sillage.

Malin and Goetz. Stem
Stem captures the brands idea of a deconstructed garden, bringing to life the secondary scents or quieter facets of floristry that are often overlooked: the crispness of freshly cut stems, the aroma of crushed leaves and of rich soil. These scents are as beautiful and evocative as the flower itself, yet they are often edited out of fragrances. Stem is what lingers on our clippers, hands and clothes while the flowers brighten the kitchen or a bedroom.
DIPTYQUE. Eau Capitale Eau de Parfum
Eau Capitale eau de parfum from Diptyque is the first chypre scent. Opening with a freshness of vert de bergamote and fruity notes of oranges temper, it’s the spicy scents of pink peppercorns and cloves that lend a lasting finish.
DS and Durga. Radio Bombay eau de parfum
Radio Bombay places its wearer at the centre of Mumbai under the hot Bandra heat. A sandalwood transistor radio plays ragas; its hot copper tubes warming the soft wood that surrounds. Distinctive blooms of musk, cream, peach, ambrette, coco and cedar distillates ensue, penetrating the already heady atmosphere with an addictive aroma that stirs the senses.
