Santal majuscule by Serge Lutens


Olfactory memories from school days



Santal majuscule is the third sandalwood fragrance Serge Lutens has dreamt up – after Santal Blanc, a rather gentle scent, and the spicier Santal de Mysore. To a certain extent, there’s even Jeux de peau, which Santal majuscule is somewhat like. The fragrance is reminiscent of Serge Lutens’s school days, when he entertained himself by embellishing the capital letters (“majuscules,” in French) of his essays with all sorts of doodles.

Description

Hard to categorize, Santal majuscule opens with spicy and syrupy notes. In the heart, sandalwood intertwines with a strongly present rose, before giving way to a sweetly woody trail with a chocolaty effect.

Fame by Lady Gaga


Oriental - Floral

You’ll go completely gaga for this black-hued eau de parfum

Story

American pop star Lady Gaga is launching her first fragrance. Fame is a reference to her first album, The Fame. The mysterious black juice changes color, going transparent when you spray it on. “It’s black like the soul of fame, but invisible once airborne,” Lady Gaga explains.

Description

Fame, by Lady Gaga, unveils a fruity apricot opening. Then the scent blossoms with floral notes of jasmine, orchid and belladonna before segueing into the end of its olfactory path with tonalities of honey and frankincense. Perfumers: Richard Herpin, Honorine Blanc and Nathalie Lorson, Firmenich.

Range

Eau de Parfum 1 and 1.7 oz.; Shower Gel 6.8 oz.; Body Lotion 6.8 oz.; Soap 5 oz.

Bottle

The golden cap is set onto the slightly oval bottle with a golden claw. The bottle is transparent, the better to flaunt the unusual black juice. Make no mistake: it really is the juice, and not the bottle, that’s black

Lavender Palm By Tom Ford - Private Collection

Continuing his Private Blend collection, Tom Ford presents Lavender Palm, a sunny and aromatic fragrance. Composed around lavender and palm trees, as the name implies, this eau de parfum pays tribute to California. A destination ‘synonymous with all-natural vitality, and a relaxed yet refined elegance,’ Tom Ford explains.

The composition opens with the fragrance’s key note, lavender. It appears here in the form of an absolute, paired with lavandin, a different variety of lavender. The aromatic flower is paired with citrus and sage. The heart creates an ‘accord of palm leaf and aldehydes’ intertwined with pink laurel, lime tree, vetiver and cedar. The sweeter dry-down blends benzoin, tonka bean, frankincense and moss.

Top Note

Lemon, Bergamot, Lavandin, Lavender, Sage

Middle Note
Palm Leaf, Aldehydes, Pink Laurel, Lime Tree, Vetiver, Cedar

Base Note
Benzoin, Tonka Bean, Frankincense, Moss

Dahlia Noir By Givenchy

Givenchy unveils a fragrance inspired by black dahlia, a dark-hued and scentless imaginary flower. The mysterious and enigmatic name also echoes the title of James Ellroy’s detective story, which was made into a film. Givenchy’s Dahlia Noir possesses a floral-powdery-chypre signature that is redolent of ‘an addictive sensuality, the enigma of femininity.’ In its resolutely sleek pink-and-black bottle, Dahlia Noir expresses ‘a meeting of opposites’… the better to arouse desire, Givenchy explains.

This sweet, woodsy, powdery fragrance wasn’t composed around dahlia, as you might expect, but around three key notes: mimosa, iris and rose. Together, they help give the perfume its powdery, almost cottony character. The trail of patchouli, sandalwood and tonka bean grants the scent a more chypry character. Perfumer: François Demachy.

Top Note

Mimosa, Rose

Middle Note
Iris, Powdery Notes

Base Note
Patchouli, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean
