The stories behind the fragrances can make the whole experience of scents so much more fun.
The aromas themselves can activate the imagination and you can create your own story in your mind, but when there’s a story already there, you get a glimpse into a whole new world.

Oriana from Parfums de Marly - This scent is a sweet gourmand, rumored to be inspired by Chantilly Cream, which is a sweetened Whipped Cream dessert. The scent is very dessert-like with accords of Marshmallow and Chantilly Cream blended with fruits, citruses and Orange Blossom.
Rea from Giardino Benessere - In Greek mythology, Rhea was a Titan considered to be the Mother of all the Gods. One story of Rhea says that her intense love made all of the flowers of the world bloom. The fragrance is a beautiful Iris focused floral bouquet with warmth from Oakmoss and Patchouli.
Scholar’s Mate from Mind Games - This scent was inspired by wooden chess boards and a Japanese wood preservation technique called Sho Sugi Ban, where the wood surface is charred by fire, creating a protective layer of charcoal. The scent is subtly woody and smoky with spices and resins blended with Sandalwood and Cedarwood, and given a smooth brightness with Grapefruit, Orris and Fig Milk.
Beach Hut Man from Amouage - This scent was inspired by the desire to escape into the purity of nature. It captures the tranquil essence of a day spent on a beach in autumn. Mint, Vetiver, Moss, Ivy, Patchouli and Dry Woods paint a vivid picture in the mind that takes you on a journey where a short hike through the woods opens to a deserted beach where you can breathe in the fresh air, the damp foliage and driftwood, and leave all of your cares behind you.
