Editor’s note pending — every credited perfumer eventually gets a written profile here.
The compositions
Spice Bazaar
Boszporusz
Afrika-Olifant
Safran Colognise
A saffron opening that reads less medicinal, more honeyed and warm, bolstered by pink pepper's fizzy brightness.
Hacivat
Hacivat opens with a sharp burst of pineapple and grapefruit that feels more herbal than sweet, braced by bergamot and tempered by an immediate undercurrent of oakmoss.
Meftun
Wulóng Chá
The tea element announces itself immediately—not the literal green sharpness of matcha, but the roasted, slightly mineral warmth of an oolong infusion.
Suede et Safran
Ambra Calabria
Ambra Calabria opens with a blast of green galbanum tempered by bright bergamot, a bracing introduction that quickly gives way to something warmer.
Poem of Damas
Addiction Absolu
Pachuli Kozha
Ylang-ylang opens alone — creamy, tropical, and slightly heady.
Vivamor
Zenne
Zenne opens with a bright collision of tart black currant and bitter grapefruit, both sharp enough to feel almost medicinal before they soften.
Fan Your Flames
The opening is disarmingly sweet—coconut bent toward caramel by a splash of dark rum, more dessert than tropical.
Sultan Vetiver
Sultan Vetiver opens with a flicker of bergamot brightness softened by anise's licorice-tinted warmth, an unusual pairing that reads more herbal than citrus-fresh.
From the Heart
Tuberoza
Tuberoza announces itself with a bright flare of ylang-ylang and orange blossom, their honeyed sweetness immediately cut by a green, almost mentholated edge that keeps the opening from tipping into heaviness.
Musiqa Oud
Arcanum
Vjola
Vjola announces itself with an immediate floral clarity—violet and lily of the valley arrive cool and almost transparent, while tuberose adds a faint creamy pulse beneath.
Scent of Paradise
The opening is a brief flash of bergamot that fades almost immediately, making way for a soft, powdery lavender backed by iris.
Pasion Choco
Duftblueten
Serenade
Karagoz
The opening swings between sweet pineapple and a leathery oud, creating an immediate tension that never quite resolves.
