Endangered Species

There was a time when life forms faded quietly, their existence slipping into extinction. Today, through human ingenuity and devotion, what was once at risk is given new breath and time.

Yet unlike these revived rarities, this collection of artfully-crafted fragrances defies replication. Each scent is a singular creation crafted to exist only once in a lifetime.

Dior Sauvage

Desert twilight hours inspire this classic scent. It transports you into the coolness of night, where Calabrian bergamot meets a spice blend of Szechuan pepper, anise, and nutmeg, echoing the heat of desert air. The fragrance then unfolds into sensual notes of Papua New Guinean vanilla.

Celine Un Été Français

Late afternoons in Saint-Tropez come to life through Celine’s Un Été Français. A breath of sea air drifts through gorse flowers, followed by a soft hint of coconut, lifted by the glistening freshness of neroli and bittersweet petitgrain.

Tom Ford Oud Wood

Dark and earthy sensuality defines Tom Ford’s Oud Wood Eau de Parfum. Exotic rosewood and cardamom draw you in, giving way to a smoky blend of rare oud, sandalwood, and vetiver, grounded by the warmth of tonka bean and amber.

Parfums de Marly Layton

A manifestation of debonair confidence. The fragrance opens with the effortless charm of bergamot and lavender, its vitality heightened by amber and refined with a touch of elegant pink pepper.

Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille

Step into the world of the finest private clubs as aromatic tobacco leaves welcome you in. Opulence follows through bold spices before settling into a smooth trail of vanilla, cacao, and tonka bean.

Louis Vuitton Imagination

Often regarded as perfumery’s white gold, Imagination is generously infused with Ambrox for pure masculine elegance, contrasted by noble citrus and black tea that evoke boundless creativity.

Terre d’Hermès

A dialogue between man and earth. Terre d’Hermès opens with warm cedar before speaking in sparkling grapefruit, unfolding into aromatic notes of shiso.

Kilian Angel’s Share

An homage to Kilian’s cognac-making heritage, the master perfumer mirrors the proportions of an exceptional spirit. It opens with cognac oil, blended with oak, cinnamon, and tonka, before lingering into notes of sandalwood, praline, and vanilla.
