It's getting cooler outside, but if that means we get to wear scents like these, we don't mind one bit. This month, we're getting away from it all and heading to the mountains of California.
This month, we’ve paired our men’s scents with the world we see around us. We’re not imitating nature; we’re complementing it with various shades of green.
Scent is like a portal through time and space, delivering you to a world beyond your own. This month, we're featuring three such olfactory postcards from the wet cobblestone streets of Florence, Italy, a storied village in the French Alps, and the American West. Read more.
Modern perfumery was born in Europe, so it’s no surprise that the continent still produces such magnificent olfactory art. This month, we’re taking a tour of Western Europe via three of its finest houses.
This month, we’rechanneling an iconic man of mystery: the 007 himself. It doesn’t matter whether he’s chasing a villain down the side of a mountain or dressed to the nines in a tux — you know he just smells good. Read more...
This month, we’re headed to some magical places. Ready?
First, we head to a quiet, snow-covered, evergreen forest by Lake Tahoe, where smoke swirls upwind. Then we visit a tiny French atelier, where the old proprietor tans leather and smokes a pipe. Finally, we head to the sunny sands of Rio. (Because December might be cold for you, but remember that Brazilians spend it on the beach. Jealous much?)
Fragrances are often inspired by characters, real or imagined. And when we wear them, we get the chance to try on a different identity for a while.
In this collection, we have the scent of an aristocrat with a rather sensational backstory that encompasses Paris, WWII, JFK, and deep mystery. We have a scent inspired by the perfumer’s father—“always a gentleman.” We end with the scent of sensual pleasure inspired by one of history’s most controversial figures.
The magic of scent is how it can transport you to places you’ve never been, inserting you into experiences you’ve never had. These three scents do exactly that. They offer vivid settings as a launchpad for your imagination. Just place and time—you provide the rest of the story.
Perhaps no material conveys importance as immediately as leather. Is it any wonder that we love its smell? Leather and suede have been markers of elegance for centuries, and so our appreciation of their scent is ingrained in us. Lucky for us, perfumers know all about that.
