Paying tribute to the perfume culture of the Middle East, Louis
Vuitton presents Le Sable Roses. The latest addition to Louis Vuitton’s
fragrance journey brings together rose, oud and ambergris in a vibrant and
contrasting composition. The rich perfume culture of The Middle East has
provided Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud with limitless source
of inspiration and ideas.
Belletrud sources the most precious ingredients from the four corners of
the world and strives to enhance them in each of his creations. He brings
this vision to life with Les Sables Roses, a hot-and-cold composition whose
ingredients mutually elevate one another. It is a perfume of resolutely simple
architecture, to better underscore the richness of its ingredients: a duo of
rose and oud, accentuated by ambergris.
To the rose, he offered a blend of two qualities: a light essence with fruity,
sparkling accents and a denser absolute with green, slightly animalistic
inflections to recreate the illusion of a scent whose secret is known only to
nature. To oud, “the most primal woody note,” he took all the time necessary
to find an essence of exceptional quality. The scent can be worn alone or
layered on top of its predecessor, Ombre Nomade.
Clive Christian Perfume is
a leading independent British
perfume house with a vision to
create the world’s finest perfumes.
The brand’s predecessor, the
Crown Perfumery Company
established in 1872, is the only
house to receive permission to
use Queen Victoria’s crown on its
bottle. That image defines every
bottle of Clive Christian perfume
to this day. The 1872 collection has
both a feminine and masculine
version. The masculine version is
fresh, spicy and citrusy. Wonderfully
rich with mysterious notes coming
from Cedarwood, Sandalwood,
Patchouli and green resins for the
base, the heady aroma of Cylamen,
Freesia, Tagete Oil and Jasmine is
secures the heart tone. Topping this
complex elixir is Clary Sage with a
hint of Emperor Nero. And that’s not
the end of it, the fragrance is also
elevated by infusion of zesty trio of
Grapefruit, Lime and Bergamot. The
luxurious blend will lift your mood
and heighten the senses with a
touch of wood and pepper for some
background drama. Discover the

Taking inspiration from the winds, the emerald green grass and the horses of Ireland, this is The Iris
Leather from Memo Paris. A short introduction might be necessary here: Memo Paris is a Parisian fragrance
house launched in 2007 by Clara and John Molloy. They see fragrance as a journey, forging its identity
around magical destinations and potent raw materials.
Created by perfumer Aliénor Massenet, Irish Leather starts off with biting leather with opening notes
of juniper, pink pepper and clary sage then whisks us away to the wild countryside with the sharp leather
and green earthy feel. Comforting yet forlorn, stark yet vibrantly beautiful, Irish Leather is one of the most
wonderfully wearable leather one can experience. Discover the collection at Glow Living Beauty.Irish Mornings
