Algiers: A North African city with a very Parisian feel. Whitewashed Haussmannian facades, blue-painted shutters, dizzying heat, a slightly sulphurous atmosphere. From the bustling arcades rises a delectable scent of white flowers, privet flower, wild jasmine, lemon, neroli with acidic notes spiced with a hint of chili essence.

Anchorage: Landing on the frozen asphalt of the airport, lost between the ocean and snow-capped peaks. From the coldness of the surrounding lands that are thawing at high speed, odorous green and woody puffs of wild plants and resins already rise.

Aoyama: Damp wood, incense, clean linen, the typical smell of an old Japanese house made entirely of wood in the Aoyama district as evoked by Sonya Park. Exquisite and ultra-chic scent of patchouli (the damp wood effect), smoked wood (Gaiac and Vetiver), and clove. A moss accord accentuates the sensation of freshness.

Cambridge: A novel by Agatha Christie, an English garden. A jumble of sensual and opulent rose absolutes from Morocco, fruity roses from Turkey, intertwining green and vegetal notes of violet leaves, Galbanum, verbena, spicy scents of cinnamon leaves...

Honolulu: Hello Sunshine, the opulent scent of gardenia, a white flower revealed by the tangy notes of Californian lemon and the heady notes of ylang ylang. Vanilla brings its sunny and sweet note to this torrid voluptuousness.

Mantes-la-Jolie: Mentha citrata with its frankly lemony notes, the green and crunchy accord of aromatic plants, the instant freshness of eucalyptus restore as if we were there the smell of a display of green herbs at the city market.

Marseille: A stroll through the city of all extremes. From the old port through the joyful tumult of the working-class neighborhoods with narrow passages and steep alleys, we climb to the heights of the city towards the fragrant paths that overlook the Calanques. Suddenly it is calm: while contemplating these marvelous places, we get drunk with delight on the aromatic scent of the surrounding plants heated by the sun, rosemary, lavender, lemon, cloves.

Naples: At Scaturchio's, a lady in a fur coat enjoys a slice of pastiera that she accompanies with a coffee. A delight of almonds and orange blossom, lightened with a refreshing hint of petitgrain. And neroli.

Saint-Honore: Late afternoon. The door of the shop opens onto the macadam of old Paris. A disturbing scent immediately invades the space. A cloud of powder, a few delicate green notes, a pink jasmine accord deliciously merge with the amber leather atmosphere of the place.

Stockholm: In the interlacing of winding and cobbled streets of the old city all in pastel and ochre, hides the secret address of the famous Elixir du Suédois. King Gustav II watered his Viking warriors with it to make them invincible. From the bottle escapes an incredible scent of wild plants, clove, lavender, myrrh, vetiver and clary sage.

Villa Medici: Alongside the artist's studios with their wide-open windows overlooking the rooftops of Rome, the majestic gardens of the Villa unfold. High places of meetings and meditations, the residents delight in the subtle scents of lemon leaves, lavender, and oregano flowers. In the air vibrates the woody note of the large cedars around and the indescribable one of the ancient stones under the heat of the sun.

Jerusalem: A wildly fragrant pilgrimage in the celestial city surrounded by ramparts. Tour of the sacred places, the Holy Sepulchre, the Wailing Wall, the Mount of Olives. The dark and mysterious scents of the Oud wood, cedar wood and nutmeg accord blend with the brighter and more vegetal scents of galbanum and cypress. Contains essences of Galbanum, Cypress Wood, Cedar Wood, Nutmeg, Oud Wood Accord and Vegetal Notes.

Opera: Lavishness at the Palais Garnier: entrechats, pas de deux, ronds de pattes on the sumptuous wooden floors polished with beeswax in the great hall. From the foyers with their rich woodwork to the roof of the Opera where honey is harvested in abundance in the hives, the intoxicating accords of beeswax absolute and the honey note spread, sublimated with a hint of sandalwood and benzoin. Contains essences of Benzoin, Sandalwood, Cedar Wood and Vanilla, Beeswax Absolute, Honey Note.
