The double nature of any human being: longing to perfection, innocence, absence of mistake, to a place uncontaminated by sin from one side, and the inevitable fallibility and impossibility of amending mistakes. The combination of white florals and animalic facets represents this dichotomy, as an invitation to accept both idealism and imperfection as a very specific human features.

Lost in Heaven depicts a dream sequence of an adult getting lost in paradise.

It represents the complexity of feelings conveying both the longing for a place of uncontaminated innocence and unconditional love and the inevitable and controversial burden of life, made up of feelings of sin and guilt – real, or even worse, imaginary.

This dichotomy, which sits at the back of anyone’s soul, is portrayed by a selection of the most angelic notes: beautiful Orange Flower and Jasmine absolutes, together with soft Heliotrope, smooth Sandalwood, sweet Tonka Bean and many other notes that I consider paradisiac.

The darker side is conveyed in a much more subtle way, not immediately detectable, via cumin and other spices, and a large selection of animalistic notes, including a reconstruction of Tonkin Musk.

I thought of naming this perfume ‘Feeling Good’, as that is its purpose: to make you feel as you might in paradise, not a fake, imaginary one, but a real place where you finally cope with the darker side of you, with the heavy baggage that you carry with you.

Fragile, sensual, emotional, though not technically a gourmand, it reminds me of a cake, rich in spices and with an orange blossom aroma: not haute patisserie but the archetypical smell of a cake made by Mommy, with only good things in it.

Accords: Fruity-floral Oriental, fresh, green
Mood: sophisticated, dreamy, exotic

A sumptuous, luxuriant concoction which brings you to a parallel universe of abundance, far from every-day concerns, to a place of sensuous calmness, offering comfort to your soul. Inspired by a verse taken from Baudelaire’s poem Invitation au Voyage, it brings you to a journey through places of pleasure.

Notes: bitter orange, green tangerine, galbanum, hyacinth, tropical fruits, ylang ylang, iris, benzoin, sandalwood, vetiver, opoponax.

An elegant yet intense fruity-floral ambery fragrance with fresh and green nuances, LUXE CALME VOLUPTE is a luxurious, opulent scent expressing the longing for a place of sensuous calmness, a suspension from daily worries, a break from human angst.

In our historical moment, I felt the need to offer not a challenging, divisive creation but something which could bring comfort to the spirit, an invitation to connect to oneself and temporarily forget about the daily concerns.

“Luxe Calme Volupté” is a recurring verse taken from Baudelaire’s beautiful poem Invitation au Voyage:

There all is order and beauty,
Luxury, peace, and pleasure.

In this poem Baudelaire invites his lover to join him to an exotic place where they can live in calmness and peace, still reflecting his decadent aesthetic.

Luxe Calme Volupté is also the name of a major painting by Henri Matisse – very dear to me – conveying the same ideas that have inspired my perfumes, i.e. the contraposition of calm and peaceful character from one side, sensuous and decadent elements on the other.

The Making Of Sex and The Sea + Neroli

This perfume came out just for fun: What happens if I get my Sex and The Sea – an extrovert, sexy, warm scent – and combine it with my Neroli reconstitution – a shy, sharp, hypnotic smell?

Mind you, things didn’t happen that easily, I had to calibrate the whole formula to allow Neroli to stay in the same room with Sex and The Sea.

But the result was so hypnotic and sexy, so refreshing and warm, that I decided to produce this little treasure and not just to keep it for my personal use.

I have to admit that I have a soft spot for an anti-snobbish attitude (though probably unconsciously snobbish myself) therefore the simple idea of creating something as commercial as a “flanker” was exhilarating.

Sex and The Sea Neroli presents – as the original version – a heart of coconut, the saltiness of the sea, and the sweet sweat of warm skin but this time with a hint of narcotic freshness, which makes the perfume more complex and its evolution more intriguing.

PS: the logo is a drawing of mine, an imaginary union of a Neroli flower and a starfish.
