th & Bloom Harlem Bloom
The Oud Affair
Opens with ginger cutting cleanly through a thick veil of honey — something between a kitchen spice and a medicinal sharpness that immediately signals this won't be a conventional oud.
Dear Polly
The opening is unexpectedly tart—green apple lifted by bergamot, but not the candied kind.
Faces of Francis
Poets of Berlin
The opening is bright and direct—lemon that doesn't linger in citrus territory but quickly fades into a pale, powdery iris accord.
Morning Chess
To My Father
To My Father opens with a crisp citrus spark—bergamot and grapefruit—that quickly gives way to warm, resinous amber and the gentle rasp of leather.
Fleur Burlesque
Basilico & Fellini
A green Mediterranean dream centered on basil so vivid it's almost bruising—peppery, anise-edged, the smell of torn leaves rather than dried spice.
Moon Carnival
The opening is surprisingly bright—bergamot cuts through what could have been heavy sweetness, lending an almost citrus-cologne freshness to the white flowers waiting beneath.

Smoke Show
Peony Couture
Sparkling Jo
Modest Mimosa
Modest Mimosa is a study in precision — Jérôme Epinette's restraint producing a six-note composition that does more with less than most ten-note fragrances.
A Lilac a Day
A-Lilac-a-Day opens with a cool, transparent freesia that reads almost aqueous—more dewdrop than bouquet.
Chicago High
Vilhelm Parfumerie draws its name and its songs-as-fragrances concept from a Swedish artistic sensibility, but Chicago High draws from the city's jazz and blues tradition — the late-night warmth of it.
Darling Nikki
Darling Nikki takes its name from Prince's most notorious track, and the composition follows through on that reference: a darker, smokier register than its inspiration's chart-adjacent surface.
Colette X Vilhelm
Harlem Bloom
Mango Skin
The opening strikes with blackberry's tart ripeness and the sharp snap of black pepper, an unexpectedly dark prelude to a fragrance named for fruit.
Opus Kore
Opus Kore opens with the pairing that gives it its tension: Sicilian lemon, clean and bright, alongside acai, darker and tartly fruity — a contrast that carries through into the heart.
Black Citrus
125th & Bloom
Stockholm 1978
Do Not Disturb
Room Service
**Room Service** opens with a bright blackberry that feels more botanical than jammy—tart, slightly green, with an airy quality that keeps it from turning sweet.
Body Paint
The opening is a bright, juicy flicker—ripe pear and lemon zest that feels more like a wink than a statement.
Purple Fig
Purple Fig opens with a bright lemon that quickly gives way to the real star: a green, milky fig supported by sharp galbanum.
