Eight & Bob – Le Trou 19 du Phare
Le Trou 19 du Phare is part of Eight & Bob’s Fouquet Collection that launched in 2025, an ode to quiet luxury, cultivated elegance and timeless refinement. Each creation is a tribute to a cherished moment in Albert Fouquet’s life – the son of a Parisian aristocrat from the early 20th century and a perfume connoisseur whose legacy inspired the birth of niche perfumery house, Eight & Bob. [PARA] Biarritz was a cherished destination for Fouquet where golf matches with friends at Le Phare would end with spirited conversations at the “19th hole” and this fragrance celebrates camaraderie and the thrill of the French Atlantic coast. It opens with the boldness of black pepper and an aromatic blend, leading into a heart of black leather and cinnamon. [PARA] The fragrance deepens with a base of Haitian vetiver, patchouli and cedarwood, creating an intriguing woody, spicy and ambery scent. Inspired by Art Deco architecture, the bottle is a masterpiece of craftmanship with delicate grooves in the glass subtly revealing the fragrance within, while a refined palette of tones reflects the olfactive identity of each scent in the Fouquet collection.

4160Tuesdays – Vianne’s Confession
The fragrance was created to capture a specific moment from a novel, a time and place, but specifically an atmosphere of contrasts, instability and uncertainty. We have the warm air of late summer, rain and splashed mud, the cool stone and worn hardwoods of the cathedral interior; fresh geranium and tomato, narrow cobbled lanes leading up from the seashore, incense swirling around red roses and a challenging unsweetened cacao. [PARA] Blended layers create a modern chypre featuring a dry austere darkness beneath fresh green leaves and an unexpected umami gourmand.
SARAH BAKER – Va Va Vanilla
Dusk. The place where dark meets light. Espresso martinis and Manhattans mingle with a voluptuous, moreish, milky vanilla. A silky, seductive and unmistakably adult scent. [PARA] Cherry and cinnamon add sparkle, whilst a low, throaty saffron and the softest of leather hum beneath the surface.
Maison Crivelli – Hibiscus Mahajád
Inspired by tasting an infusion of hibiscus petals in the heart of a gemstone market, Hibiscus Majahád is a flamboyant, shimmering creation that glows with ruby red rose, crushed pomegranate and crystal clean mint, warmed by vanilla and amber. The first extrait in the Maison Crivelli collection takes you beyond the ordinary and into a colourful haze of sensual delights. [PARA] Hibiscus Mahajád opens on a flamboyant touch with fruity accents of Ebelia (blackcurrant). The luminosity of the top notes is accentuated by the essential oil of Spearmint, while cinnamon completes the roundness of blackcurrant with its powdery facet. [PARA] The heart rests on an extraordinary quality of Damascena rose absolute, with floral and slightly fruity facets. The floral note is added by the nympheal (Givaudan captive), which accompanies the flower with a transparent vibration. Finally, leather warms the construction and introduces a darker trail. [PARA] The base notes of the creation are worked around hibiscus seeds (ambrette absolute) to extend the powdery sweetness of cinnamon, but also around a trio of ambrofix, benzoin and vanilla absolute to reinforce the sensual warmth introduced by the leather.

Neshama Perfume – Wandering Stars
She is a wanderer, a dreamer, an enigma wrapped in starlight. Wandering Stars is the fragrance of a bold escape, where innocence meets intrigue, and the world reveals itself in layers of heady floral notes and primal magnetic warmth. [PARA] Wandering Stars pairs the sweet floral nature of Gardenias in bloom with the earthen intensity of Indonesian Oud. At its core is the rare, luminous Lebanese Gardenia, extracted by a traditional enfleurage technique that has largely disappeared from modern perfumery. This gardenia is fruity and floral, with facets of stone fruit and bright goji berry; a whisper of jasmine’s delicacy and tuberose’s narcotic allure. [PARA] Created by perfumer Michael Nordstrand of Mythologist Studio™(link) and Neshama perfumer Simon Shaer, Wandering Stars pairs the soft insistence of Gardenias in bloom with the earthen intensity of wild Indonesian Oud. Distilled from two Gyrinops species grown on separate islands, its leathery green and tobacco facets ground the fragrance with a primal, magnetic warmth and provide a perfect contrast to the heady floral notes.
Goldfield and Banks – Pacific Rock Flower

[PARA] Pacific Rock Flower is a sparkling perfume that celebrates the salt air, wild blooms and golden sands of Australia’s coast.
