KILLIAN, ROLLING IN LOVE
Working alongside perfumer Pascal Gaurin, Kilian Hennessy took his luxury perfumery in a brand-new direction – aiming for a more direct attitude, with less layers and a strong focus on one single emotion: love.
Almost monochromatic in its approach to scent, a spritz of the Rolling in Love Eau de Parfum will send you to an addictive and comfortingly intimate cocoon. Sweet, nutty ambrette seeds (considered an alluring aphrodisiac) are joined by creamy almond milk, delicate, earthy iris and soothing musk. Described as a “musc de peau”, or “musk of skin”, this is a fresh, sensual, soft – but almost primal – addition to your fragrance collection.

GIORGIO ARMANI, SI PASSIONE
A fruity and floral eau de parfum from Giorgio Armani, Si Passione emits confidence, seduction and strength.

DIOR, HYPNOTIC POISON
Be tempted by the legendary forbidden fruit and overwhelming notes of jasmine.
Steeped in extreme natural tones, Dior’s Hypnotic Poison eau de parfum continues the legendary forbidden fruit with the luscious charm of sambac jasmine, mingled with a welcoming orange blossom absolute, offset with intensely evocative tonka bean. The feminine fragrance is captured within the distinctive apple-shaped silhouette, mysteriously changed with a dark, molten lava finish.
