Zagora, Greece
The memory of a Greek summer at Mount Pelion where, to get to the sea, there was a natural grove of wild sun-soaked fig trees to cross. Philosykos is an ode to the entire fig tree: the green freshness of the leaves, the milky flavour of the figs, the density of the white wood.
Kyoto, Japan
Flora Cherrysia evokes an escape along the Sakura River shaded by blossoming cherry trees. A nap on the banks of a stream strewn with pink petals. Flora Cherrysia is the spirit of cherry blossoms sprinkled with water.

Portofino, Italy
Vibrant. Sparkling. Transportive. To Tom Ford, this scent perfectly captures the cool breezes, sparkling clear water and lush foliage of the Italian Riviera. His reinvention of a classic Eau de Cologne features crisp citrus oils, surprising floral notes and amber undertones to leave a splashy yet substantive impression.
Java, Indonesia
Each Moresque fragrance is crafted after a time and place – Soul Batik is no exception. Soul Batik is a dreamy and oriental fragrance, as rich and descriptive as the famous Indonesian fabrics. A liquid narrative enclosed, drop by drop, in a refined bottle which evokes – with its hot stamped geometries – the latticework of the Arab palaces, surmounted by the sumptuous and distinctive Moresque’s golden cap.
French Polynesia Islands
Transport the senses to languid mornings on an idyllic island with this fragrance. Solar notes of bitter almond soften into neroli and tiare absolute, culminating in a creamy trail of sandalwood and musk. Escape to an otherworldly atoll in the French Polynesia Islands.
