Amber Aquilaria (extrait de parfum) Emperor Electimuss Nose: Julien Rasquinet

Woody amber

The best Agarwood resin, as cited throughout ancient religious scriptures, is extracted from the Aquilaria tree. Its rich cognac notes form the base of this exquisite fragrance.

Amber Aquilaria opens with a bright, sparking bergamot that melts into a heart of roses – rich, velvet petals that mesmerise before falling into an opulent pillow of warm amber, sandalwood, Bourbon, vanilla and Aquilaria Oud.

Passion for perfume was woven into the tapestry of everyday life for the Romans. Their fountains were scented rose water and perfume was part of cleansing rituals, celebration, feasts, seduction and worship. The Romans collected the finest and rarest oils from across the Empire, from West to East and that obsession, creativity and quest for the finest is at the heart of Amber Aquilaria

Electimuss means “to choose the best” in Latin and that ethos is the essence of Amber Aquilaria. The finest oils and resins in this fragrance are rare and precious and have been blended with meticulous attention paid to every note and detail.

This fragrance that exudes luxury and elegance and is connoisseur crowd pleaser.

Mercurial Cashmere Nero Collection Electimuss Nose: Sofia Bardelli

Floral amber

This luxurious amber perfume is sensuous, soft and delightful with a resinous base.

The sparkling and piquant top notes of bergamot, pink pepper and cardamom are a fleeting pleasure, before the sensuous, velvety, buttery, powdery floral and ambergris heart envelops you. The amber base of caramel, tonka, vanilla and the spicy smoky oud and cedar finally reveal a darker promiscuity. This scent is irresistibly sensuous on the skin and exudes luxury, seduction and charm.

The god Mercury was Messenger to the gods, as famous for his quick intellect, guile and charm as for his dark side: he was fickle, untrustworthy, promiscuous and the collector of souls to the underworld. He ruled wealth and fortune; commerce and fertility; science and medicine; and finally storytelling – from writers and poets to rascals and conmen! The most popular of the gods, Mercury was adored for his irresistible charm and wit and the inspiration for this sensuous and seductive scent.

Woody amber

Explore the Silk Road with this fruity aromatic floral amber.

This exquisite fragrance is olfactory sunshine, versatile, comforting, uplifting and oh so charming. Like all our fragrances it uses the finest oils and ingredients so it has fantastic projection and longevity.

Patchouli of the Underworld Consort Collection Electimuss Nose: Kévin Mathys

Dry woods

Pluto’s plight was to rule the UNDERWORLD: the final destination for the dead but also DEEP EARTH the place of riches and opulence abundant with precious jewels, oil, minerals and resources and the earth necessary for a bountiful harvest. Brother to the King of the Gods Jupiter, PLUTO was a powerful and magnetic personality.

This perfume was created with Persephone’s Patchouli as a pair. Two perfumers explores the central note of Patchouli through two lenses of the same story: that of Pluto and his Queen Persephone.

This is dark, carnal and animalic: a patchouli perfume with a musky sexuality, power, opulence. It captures the raw passion of Pluto, the darkness of the underworld; as well as the opulence of the hidden treasures of his kingdom, such as precious gems, minerals and glittering metals held deep within the earth’s core.

“The idea was to build a black patchouli, with a furry texture as black as the panther.

It starts with pink and black pepper blended with citruses (bergamot and mandarin) to create a fresh dark top note enhancing the camphor notes of patchouli. I played with a suede leather accord of mate absolute, birch and a smoky twist with cade and rich smoked precious woods to create a synergy between resins and woods and strengthen the character of musk.

I softened that with a blend of cistus, labdanum extracts and other amber materials to give the furry and smooth signature. Bits of carnation (spicy rose character) and other floral elements are enriching the fragrance to give it depth and structure.” Kévin Mathys
