Les Senteurs - The Specialist Perfumery

Seymour Place Boutique
The History of Les Senteurs
Three decades ago Betty and Michael Hawksley had a revolutionary idea destined to change the face of British perfumery.
They realised that there was no advice available in the conventional department stores, and only limited choice
if you wanted something unusual in fine fragrances and scented goods. So the concept of Les Senteurs was born.
Les Senteurs is proud to lay claim to having been the first shop in the UK to stock the complete ranges of the
now legendary brands of Annick Goutal, Creed and Diptyque. More recently Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle,
Mona di Orio, Parfumerie Generale, and Tauer Perfumes have all chosen to debut their brands at Les Senteurs.
From perfume classics and half-forgotten masterpieces produced by classic European perfume houses to those made
by contemporary artisan perfumers, Les Senteurs houses an unrivalled collection of scents and scented products.
Les Senteurs remains an intimate family business today and continues to be run with the same ethos and passion.
The shop is able to offer excellent personal service as well as expert impartial advice. Our products are mainly from
smaller companies, often owned by perfumers who tend to use higher concentrations of natural essences and high
quality raw ingredients. Above all, the aim of Les Senteurs is to assist you in discovering the delights of perfuming
yourself and your surroundings.
At our boutique in the heart of London’s Belgravia and now at our second shop in historic Portman Village we aim
to provide a relaxed and stimulating atmosphere in which customers may experiment and discover the fascinating
and inspiring world of scent. Our reputation has made Les Senteurs a place of pilgrimage for perfume connoisseurs,
enthusiasts and collectors. Through our mail order and internet service we are also able to offer our unique skills to
thousands of perfume lovers throughout the UK, Europe and the whole world.

New & Exclusive Ranges at LES SENTEURS
4160 TUESDAYS
An original and stimulating perfume line by British nose Sarah McCartney. Sarah joyously uses her work to celebrate family
and friends; places and personal experiences. Her fragrances are startling, emotional, witty and of a rare and eccentric beauty.
NEW! Doe in the Snow
Yuzu, peach, jasmine, oakmoss and tonka: a soft, beautiful
and intriguing creation created for the mid-winter wedding of
perfume supremo and best friend of LES SENTEURS Odette
Toilette. Romance in a snowy wonderland: its creator describes
it as "citrus fruits, flowers and woods stirred with an icicle''.
NEW! The Dark Heart of Old Havana
A sultry midnight stroll past the bars and tango clubs of Cuba,
under trees heavy with bursting ripe fruit. Succulent redolence
of peach, grapefruit, bown sugar, coffee, orange, jasmine, black
pepper and tobacco.
8
Sunshine and Pancakes
A radiant family day on the beach recreated as a perfume for
Sarah's mother-in-law. Brilliantly crisp lemon top notes lead the
nose into a sweet smooth heart of jasmine blended with absolutes
of honey and vanilla. The base uses warm cedar to prolong the
happiness of a long carefree day on the sands.
The Lion Cupboard
Sarah recreated the redolence of her father's clothes press in this
medley of masculine scents including juniper (think of a well-iced
gin and tonic), mint, aniseed, lavender, patchouli and golden
helichrysum. Dark, deep, and reassuring.
The Sexiest Scent On The Planet. Ever.
(IMHO)
The result of a week spent making gin-based fragrances.
Bergamot and vanilla meld beautifully with smooth cedar and
patchouli before settling into a base of musk and ambergris.
What I Did On My Holidays
This is a flamboyant stroll down the pier slathered in lickable sun
tan lotion, armed with a luscious Neapolitan ice cream cornet and
a stick of pink rock. With cucumber, vanilla, coconut, lavender,
rosewood, melon.
Urara's Tokyo Cafe
Aromatic raspberry leaf combines with geranium,
violet and rose and the citrus sparkle of tangerine
and grapefruit on a soft sensuous base of sweet resins
such as opoponax and tolu balsam.
9
EX IDOLO
The first creation by London based Canadian, Matthew Zhuk, Creative Director of Ex Idolo. What makes Thirty Three truly
remarkable is the blend of ouds that lie at the base of its composition, mainly a rare, vintage oud that has been aging since 1980.
Thirty Three
Hand blended and bottled in Marylebone, London. Thirty Three
begins with a lively blend of black pepper and candied mandarin,
before unfolding into a bewitchingly dark heart of roses, orris
and tea and revealing the remarkable dry quality of the 33 year
aged oud.
10
NU_BE
Exploring all the nuances of the primary elements of Creation, Nu_Be opens worlds within worlds. Four great perfumers allow
their imaginations full rein in interpreting the elements of the cosmic explosion from which time and space were born. The results
are philosophical, flamboyant, majestic, awe-inspiring and mysterious: and like the universe, unfathomable and limitless.
NEW! 80 Hg Mercury “My inspiration comes from the fact that Mercury is a fluid element,
I wanted to give the impression of a shiny and bright fluidity
with metallic inflections, but very clean ones…” – Antoine Lie
An opening oxide accord mixed with aldehydes, rhubarb, blackcurrant,
lemon and mandarin reproduces the clean dynamic and technological
character. Violet and geranium at the heart precede a dry-down of notes
of cedar wood and sandalwood, patchouli and tolu balsam.
NEW! 16S Sulphur
“Sulphur represents the demonic spirit, the darkness.” – Antoine Lie
A warm, spicy accord of pimento, cinnamon and black angelica along
with earthy notes of vetiver, patchouli and moss. Beneath is an elemental
volcanic explosion of animalic costus and castoreum with the bitter
sweet richness of myrrh and opoponax. Oud, patchouli and vetiver mirror
the inner darkness of the profound base.
11
6C Carbon
3Li Lithium
"I wanted to capture the mysterious beginning of life."
– Francoise Caron
"Lithium to me is the element of contrast. Even if its Greek
meaning is 'stone', it is the lightest of metals". – Nicolas Bonneville
A cocktail of cold spices, cardamom and icy ginger fused with
black pepper, aromatic iris, resins and herbs. Carbonised timber
with a creamy note of fresh sandalwood makes up the base.
The sweet freshness of rose and the golden warmth of
saffron darkens into soft musk and woods: patchouli,
oak and leather meld with powdery orris.
2He Helium
"I have been inspired by the idea of a hot-air balloon and
smoke.....a meditative scent, a Zen atmosphere" - Sylvie Fischer.
An intensely floral heart of Damask rose and iris with dark
base notes of benzoin, styrax, cinnamon bark and patchouli.
Clary sage, tobacco leaf and mystic gaiac wood with a final
smoky wreath of vetiver.
1H Hydrogen
"Hydrogen to me is the element of energy; that's why my fragrance
is so sparkling." – Antoine Lie
The sparkling transparency of glassy green aldehydes and a
hesperidic explosion of juniper. Aromatic basil, primeval lichens,
oakmoss combine with melon, mandarin and aquatic notes.
12
8O Oxygen
"The idea was that of oxygenated wood..." – Antoine Lie
The base is damp earthy vetiver, while in the upper
structure notes of saffron, olibanum and pepper
are whirled around by shining aldehydes and clouds
of musk.
PAPILLON ARTISAN PERFUMES
A unique British brand launched exclusively at Les Senteurs in the summer of 2014. Elizabeth Moores takes inspiration from history,
literature, art and nature: but above all she works from the heart, regarding perfume as an essentially emotional experience. We are very
proud to present her first three perfumes, fragrances of mystery, depth and astonishing fullness and polish.

imagination. Full-blown summer roses on the verge of dissolution
and decay. Tremendous depth and sillage. Bulgarian and centifolia
rose oil; oakmoss, beeswax, hay, amber, galbanum and geranium
bourbon.
Anubis
The Egyptian god of embalming; the benevolent jackal-headed
god. His perfume plunges into dark infernal depths of spices,
woods and mysterious smoky resins. Pink lotus, jasmine,
immortelles, frankincense, myrrh and saffron. Suede, castoreum,
labdanum, benzoin, opoponax, bitter orange, ylang ylang.

animal base of jasmine, leather and amber.

An intensely dramatic, dark and woody fragrance that is redolent
of Asiatic spices such as clove, coriander and cinnamon soaked in
orange blossom, jasmine and orris: the collector's choice.

Magnificently intense oriental fougere which starts with a
flamboyant green top note of coriander and petitgrain before
softening into dark, warm incense, orris and rich ambergris.

patchouli softened with hints of Bulgarian rose, cardamom,
clementine and bergamot. The extremely long-lasting base is of
Texan cedar and Javanese vetiver.
L’Air du Désert Marocain
The sweet-smelling air of the Maghreb Desert. A soft, dusky
harmony of rock rose, coriander and cumin – with a hint of bitter
orange and Moroccan jasmine on a spicy base of cedar, vetiver
and ambergris
Le Maroc Pour Elle
The freshness of Maghreb roses at dawn, combined with the
sensuality of evening jasmine. The freshness of lavender and
mandarin top notes contrast wonderfully with the base of cedar
wood from the High Atlas Mountains.
Lonestar Memories
Coffee on a camp fire, tobacco smoke, fresh woods, seasoned
leather. Geranium, carrot seed and clary sage are a prelude to
cistus, jasmine and vetiver which deepen into myrrh, tonka and
sandalwood.
Orange Star
The opening notes are a golden blaze of mandarin and clementine
which yield to a sensuous base of dark vanilla, tonka bean and
cedar wood.

up from wild Swiss raspberries, violets and roses folded in with
golden vanilla, blue lavender and tonka.

of spring. A glorious top note of grapefruit, pepper and clary
develops into a heart of rose and muguet warmed by golden
ambergris, tonka and cistus.

Mountain lavender heralds a heart of orris, frankincense and the
lushest of roses on an airy bed of cedar, sandalwood, ambergris
and masses of sweet vanilla.

A rich rose accord using a pound of damask rose petals per bottle.
The soft spiciness of bay and cinnamon meld into dark and
resinous oakmoss, labdanum, patchouli, vetiver and vanilla.
17

Carla Chabert, a father and daughter team whom Tom has known since childhood and who have created for names such as Chanel

A stunning cologne mixed to eau de parfum strength. Neroli,
bergamot, tarragon, lemon petitgrain and violet leaf herald
a heart of jasmine and lily of the valley on a woody patchouli base.

notes of muguet, cardamom and pepper segue into jasmine
sambac and silky powdery iris. A traditional theme re-invented

Tom’s conception of charcoal grey cashmere: silky-soft with a
silvery sheen. The fragrance is based on a heart of precious orris,
perfumery's most costly ingredient, with details sketched in
with juniper, angelica, carrot seed, vetiver and dry fragrant cedar.
18
Resin Sacra
An exploration of frankincense and enhanced with other
resins such as benzoin and cistus. Patchouli, sandalwood
and frankincense blend with notes of powdery ambroxan and
suede accords. A perfume which is both spiritual and carnal.

A paradox of contrasting sensation, Reverie leads you through
an exotic but familiar landscape of memory: cool and dry, then
rich and warm. Herbal top notes of rosemary, ginger, elemi and
artemisia develop into a heart of iris supported by oud, bezoin
and amber accords.
Salvia Sclarea
Lying in long cool grass in a hot sunny herb garden. Top notes
of new grass, sweet violet leaf and elemi melt into a core of clary
sage and delicate white jasmine supported by the earthiness of
oakmoss and warm accords of woody musks.
Vachetta
A dissection of all the facets of fine leather. Smoky, dark,
mysterious and sexy but with an innocent bright jasmine heart
for piquant contrast. Top notes of coriander, cardamom and
nutmeg which blend with deeper accords of Lapsang Souchong
tea and gaiac wood.

and cinnamon.

warmed in the Italian sunshine. Lemon, tangerine and

heart of jasmine and muguet. The seductive base features
the grandeur of amber, cedar and sandalwood.

The scent of the bazaars: fennel, dried fruits, amber, rich spices.
Chergui
The fragrance of the desert winds: wood smoke and tobacco
blended with honey, iris and rose with a base of musk, amber
and incense.
Clair de Musc
A deliciously soft powdery fragile veil of musk with iris, neroli,
bergamot and delicate woods.
Daim Blond
A blend of white leather, Tuscan iris, apricots mixed with a dash
of musk and hawthorn.

Magnetic, captivating and luxurious. Bitter almond, tuberose,
musk and heliotrope melt into a soft and scented Tunisian
twilit garden.

Feminité du Bois
Clouds of soft cedarwood, softened and feminised with honey,
hints of plum, rose, beeswax, orange-blossom and violet.
Filles en Aiguilles
A warm resinous pine forest on the Mediterranean coast; the scent
of gums, balms, laurel flowers and oozing tree sap.
Five O’Clock Gingembre
The scent of crystallized ginger, soft, warm and inviting: laced
with sandalwood, vanilla and iris this makes the perfect “anytime
fragrance” all the year round.
Fleurs d’Oranger
Neroli and orange flowers with violet, magnolia, fragrant
tuberose, jasmine, ambergris and Bourbon vanilla.
Gris Clair
Lavender on a base of rosemary, heliotrope, orris, almond and
amber. Warm, haunting, and ultra-sophisticated.
Jeux de Peaux
Osmanthus flower, cumin, amber, cinnamon and creamy
lactonic notes.
Nuit de Cellophane
A wonderful warm dewy scent: encapsulating the moment with
a sinuous creation of osmanthus, peach, iris, jasmine and violet.
Serge Noire
The sap and resins from a whole forest of tropical trees: Lutens
takes crystallized ash from the burnt wood, sweetening it with
cane sugar and adding a bitter note of myrrh and civet.
Un Bois de Vanille
Absolue of black Mexican vanilla, creamy coconut from Tahiti,
sandalwood and a daring dash of liquorice.
Vitriol d'Oeillet
A woody-floral with a touch of metallic acidic sharpness: pinks
and lily spiced with paprika and clove.
Sa Majesté La Rose
Moroccan roses sharpened by blue camomile, geranium and
vetiver. Dewy, woody, fresh: the scent of a living breathing
crimson rose.
Santal Majescule
A sweet smoky powdery fragrance which wonderfully combines
cocoa and honey with notes of creamy sandalwood, amber,
jasmine and superb Moroccan rose.
