Obsentum

Game on, summer.

There’s pure obsession at the heart of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights. And there’s plenty of it in D’Otto’s composition 8x1. Rhubarb, orange, lemon, magnolia, cashmere, and musk… are hard to put down. Just like the book.

Maybe your summer destination isn’t a place after all. Maybe it’s your next scented obsession.

Where do you go when you’re not going anywhere?

Some journeys take you to places pinned on a map. Others take you… ELSEWHERE. Inspired by the legend of Sindbad, this textured Amouage extract continues the voyage beyond the horizon, where the notes of honey, apricot, mango, spices, black tea, cappuccino, and woods become a destination.

Maybe your summer destination isn’t a place after all. Maybe it’s your next scented obsession.

When summer gets a little too summer, do you find a shadow to hide in or something iced to drink? Or both?

Jeroboam knows a gentleman’s fourth option. VESPERO. Its bergamot, apple, pink grapefruit, cedarwood, and leather come together in a nocturnal badge of cool seduction. Because sometimes the best way to beat the heat is to smell like you have somewhere cooler to be.

And maybe your summer destination isn’t a place after all. Maybe it’s your next scented obsession.

Recharging happens mostly in summer.

… never do anything in a hurry, because summer is meant to be savoured. This very sensation is captured by Giardino Benessere with peach, raspberry, passion fruit, magnolia, rose, cedar, and Italian leather, and named ARGE, after the cyclops Arges, son of Uranus, the sky, and Gaia, the earth. It’s a scent made for slowing down and taking it all in.

Maybe your summer destination isn’t a place after all. Maybe it’s your next scented obsession.

Summer also comes in a mentholated shade of green.

The best part of being obsessed with scents? You can cool the heat with one. THE QUEEN AND THE VIPER is a complex simplicity that breathes, murmurs, and cools summer’s vibrant colors. Bergamot, spearmint, jasmine, clary sage, to***co, and birch reveal how Stephane Humbert Lucas turns an oriental scent into a refreshing shadow.

Maybe your summer destination isn’t a place after all. Maybe it’s your next scented obsession.

Summer is a slice of sun and a spoonful of sea.

That’s why Pomelo Riviera is less ‘paradise found’ and more ‘take me to paradise’, along the South of France where citrus trees grow wild, jasmine and roses are in bloom, cedar wood lingers in the air, and a pinch of salt keeps you beautifully awake. It’s your very own secret garden placed in a bottle by Atelier des Ors.

And maybe that’s the thing about summer. Your next destination doesn’t have to be a place. It could be your next scented obsession.

Summer says… live it and admire it from the outside.

From the now comes your next. Byredo has blended orange blossom, blackcurrant, labdanum, vanilla liquor with musks and aldehydes to create Future Memories, a scent built like a memory in motion, capturing summer as you live it and as you step back to admire it.

So, is your summer destination a new scented obsession?
