Parfum de Marly
In 1739, King Louis XV commissioned the sculptor Guillaume Coustou
to create statues of horses which he completed within two years from
1743 to 1745. The resulting world-famous masterpieces of Baroque
sculpture in Carrara marble, known as “Les Cheveaux de Marly” was
given a place of honor in the royal park at Castle Marly-le-Roi. Today
you can view these statues in the Louvre and replicas can be found at the
Place de la Concorde and lining the entrance to the Champs-Élysées.
Perfumes and horses – Parfums de Marly have dedicated themselves to
these two passions because not only did these graceful animals find favor
with King Louis XV but also precious essences. He demanded that his
private quarters should be scented every day with a new perfume, which
was not only worn on the skin, but also on clothing, fans and furniture.
This brought his court the name of “la cour parfumé“ – the perfumed
court.
The fragrant artworks by Parfums de Marly bow to the great names in the
world of horses, from legendary race horses, founders of horse breeds or
ancestors of noble thoroughbreds.

Erborian
The name “Erborian” comes from the French and means “Herbes
d’Orient” – Herbs of the Orient. Thus, Erborian owes its name to the
variety of natural Asian Medicinal plants that go into every Erborian
product and make this particular skin care into a high-quality line.
The founders and creative minds behind the brand: Hojung Lee and
Katalin Berenyi have developed a skin care line based on ancient Korean
tradition that fulfills the expectations and needs of European-orientated
skin care. The natural ingredients in every skincare product promote the
microcirculation of the skin and improve the oxygen absorption in the
cells. The effect of the natural active ingredients of these medicinal plants
has been proven and the results are immediately seen and felt: a fresh,
vibrant and youthfully radiant skin.
The Korean medicinal plants are particularly powerful in their effect
but are also naturally mild and gentle. Traditional medicinal plants
and advanced technologies are hallmarks that make Erborian a unique
superior skin care line.

Laboratorio Olfattivo
Laboratorio Olfattivo is an adventure dedicated to artistic perfumery. It
is an artistic workshop in constant ferment, energized by perfume artists
who work in total freedom, without any constraints on their creativity.
They like to consider it a magical space where the inspirations, ideas,
visions and endeavours of the most eclectic noses currently on the scene
come together, producing creative sparks and dream fragments that are
then transformed by Laboratorio Olfattivo into fine fragrances.
Each single fragrance has its own special story and for this reason is
completely unique. It is the creative and emotional expression of the
artist’s olfactory vision of beauty, history and nature. It is the nose’s
tribute to the perfume world. These freely-conceived creations have one
thing in common – they evoke elegance and uniqueness, features that
more than anything else characterize artistic perfumery.
Notes, chords and alcohol blend with visions, travel impressions,
sensations and passion which come to life again for a split second, to
form the main components of the fragrances by Laboratorio Olfattivo.

Jacques Zolty
Jacques Zolty, photographer, famous model of the years ‚70, has spent
his life exploring heavens of the whole world. From the frantic energy
of the Côte d’Azur to the contemplative calm of Thailand. After years of
trips, a place has stolen his heart; a small island of the far French Antilles,
Saint Barthélemy.
“I have found the island of my life” Jacques explains. “St. Barth is as a
fortress in which I can shelter me when the world becomes too savage
and where I can always find what I need and elements able to catch me.”
As every visitor of the island knows, the heaven also stays with him
after his departure. The preferred beaches reappear in the dreams. The
murmur of the sea breeze returns to the mind… and nothing that we
can remember enchants us as the thin power of each breath that we take.
The perfumes of the island live in our memoirs from the first breath of
the heat of midday, to when we seat on the sidewalk of the road and we
feel the odor of the asphalt heated by the sun, until to the fresh evening
calm that opens the petals of the nighttime flowers.

Miller et Bertaux
More than a company, it is a partnership between Francis Miller
and Patrick Bertaux. All through the 80s, the two designers devoted
themselves to the setting up of their Parisian shop in Le Marais, rue
Ferdinand Duval. Over the years, the clothes collections that they have
been designing have asserted their style: a poetic, free, and codeless one.
In 2000 Miller et Bertaux publicly make their first attempt in the
perfume world.
2006 is the period in which the perfume house really takes off. Their
first offer: a range of three fragrances that one could either put on all
together at once or separately. For women and for men. A unique and
brand-new concept for which each fragrance has been elaborated with
the same woody note, therefore allowing their use on different body parts
or at different time of the day. There is no possible sour note! The simple
references of the fragrances #1, #2, #3 are connected with words that
convey the poetic and artistic stamp of Miller et Bertaux.

V Canto
The V Canto Collection is inspired by one of the most beautiful love
stories in the world: the love for one´s roots and native land.
Inspired by the Divine Comedy from Supreme Poet Dante Alighieri and
the places described in it. Precious and unique fragrances that contain
all the medieval poetry and history of passion, love, sins, virtues, vices,
but above all true humanity, as told through the artistic and evocative
fragrances.
A work of great stylistic commitment that is an emotional olfactory
journey through the story of human nature. Fragrances to wear as a
manifesto of our most profound inclinations, of the desire to explore our
deepest inner self through the evocative power of the fragrance.
The scent becomes an epic travelling companion, like the one that led
Dante, through the streets of the soul to show us what we are or what
we will become.

Swiss Cashmere
A capsule collection of four premium fragrances that capture the essence
and aura of some of the most beautiful alpine flowers and places on earth.
Fine perfumery meets botanical purity. Four eminent noses created the
Swiss Cashmere fragrances, whose wildflower notes radiate an olfactive
picture from the special places, like the Swiss national park, that inspired
them.
Derived from nature, protected by technology - All scents are produced
by the use of “Nature Print” to protect the rare alpine flowers. The alcohol
base of our all fragrances is a natural eau de vie. Four scents, four master
perfumers, bringing to life four places of outstanding natural beauty.
Each of the genuine fragrances, is as well presented with a tiny plantable
garden, housed within the packaging. This little garden-in-waiting
contains a plantable wildflower card with the seeds corresponding to
the alpine flowers that inspired and created each fragrance. To start the
germination, just place the seed card in a flowerpot and water thoroughly.
You can plant it indoor or outdoors to watch Swiss Cashmere grow and
bring your fragrance to life.

Eutopie
The French perfumer Elodie Pollet, spent over 13 years at Hermès in the
luxury and fragrances business and learnt a lot about fine raw materials
that meet the highest quality standards, about traditions and the highest
dedication to craftsmanship.
As a true cosmopolitan Elodie feels at home around the world, whether in
Europe, Asia or the Middle East, where she was able to capture countless
impressions, scents and moods. This accumulated wealth of passion,
competence and emotion are bundled into her creations, launched under
the name “Eutopie”.
Eutopie in Greek means, “the good place” and recalls the imaginary
utopia of Thomas More and the notion of an ideal society. In Eutopie
this has already occurred. With her collection Elodie Pollet takes us to
her own good places and her personal paradises. But she doesn‘t do this
alone. It is the journey of a pair that travel through a scented world
bringing back fabulous creations from distant lands. Eutopie – inspired
by many journeys and fine perfumes enwrought with French elegance
and perfume tradition.

Chabaud
CHABAUD Maison de Parfum is a family-run French niche brand based
in Montpellier specialising in luxurious eaux de parfum, eaux de toilette,
interior fragrances and candles that create a universe of pure elegance.
At the house of Chabaud they still believe that a great perfume should
always tell a wonderful story. If a fragrance makes the heart beat faster,
then it shows a desire, a dream, a longing. With its evocative power, the
past is reinvented, dreams of the future are conceived, an idea is shared.
Chaubaud’s perfumes are a journey into the past - full of memories,
dreams, secrets and sensuality. They were designed by Sophie Chabaud
with poetry and elegance and the greatest care was taken with the strict
selection of the best essences.

Chabaud’s dedication to quality also means that every product is made
entirely in France. The glassware comes from traditional glass factories
in Normandy, the candles are handmade in Provence and the fragrances
created in Grasse, so that each element has its proven source.
