1. Echoes of St. Moritz
Echoes of St. Moritz opens with bergamot, mandarin orange, red berries and grapefruit. The heart brings cypress, apple, cassis, artemisia and elemi, and the base settles into vetiver, leather, cedarwood, moss, patchouli, amber, musk and vanilla. It is fresh at the start and warm at the end, so it moves easily between seasons. It comes in a 100ml bottle.
2. Spirit of Valencia
Launched in 2023, Spirit of Valencia is a floral fruity scent. Crisp apple, lemon and bergamot lead into a bouquet of jasmine, gardenia, rose and pink peony, finished with amber, sandalwood and white musk. It is bright and uplifting, a natural pick for spring and summer days that also carries into cool summer evenings.
3. Soul of Bali
Soul of Bali, released in 2023, captures a tropical escape. Mandarin, bergamot and a hint of tropical nectar open the scent, followed by jasmine, tuberose and ylang-ylang. The dry down is warm amber, musk and sandalwood. It is made for spring and summer, from beach days to warm evening plans.
4. Passion of Venice
Passion of Venice is a woody musky fragrance from 2023. Green leaves meet black pepper and pink peppercorn up top, then jasmine, patchouli and cedarwood form the heart. The base of vanilla, amberwood, sandalwood and musk is creamy and long-lasting. It shines in autumn and winter and makes a strong choice for evening wear.
5. Opulence of Dubai
Opulence of Dubai is the boldest city in the set: a woody spicy fragrance with a gourmand side. Nigerian ginger, Calabrian bergamot and elemi open into Damask rose, cardamom, pink pepper and chocolate. The base is incense, bourbon vanilla, roasted coffee beans, Atlas cedar, vetiver, amber and cypriol oil. Wear it in autumn, winter and for special evenings.
6. Enigma of Taif
Enigma of Taif joined the collection in 2025. It is a highly concentrated Extrait de Parfum by perfumer Shinichiro Oba, built around the rare Taif rose. Cardamom, black and pink pepper, plum and elemi open the scent, the heart pairs Taif rose with saffron, violet, olibanum and osmanthus, and the base brings molasses, labdanum, amber, oakwood and vetiver. It is made for autumn, winter and formal evenings. This one is currently sold out, so keep an eye on the product page for its return.
