Still and wild after rebirth, hungry for wonder. Cleansed in onsen waters of Kyushu, Japan, brushed by marsh iris and sage of the diviners, reflected in constellations of hiba wood and armoise.

Earthy haze of prunus mume and licorice in filtered sunlight. Resinous ancient studdings of styrax and neroli linger over a mossy plaster studio in Belgium’s Blue Forest.

Life emerges from the acid baths of Dallol, Ethiopia, on the last brink of the poet. Volatile flashes of opoponax blink open wide, stretch into dazzling appetites of guaiacwood, vetiver and kaleidoscopic consciousness.

A fantasia horseman’s smoking gun. Smoldering oud on a slab of cool white marble. (Formerly known as Al-Dukhan) "Smoldering oud on a white marble slab–pure stoic elegance.
Oud Dukhan opens with embers of cardamom and black pepper. But the magic is in what lingers–this rare oud is a slow, magnificent burn. Feel the clean smoke billow into the cold white sky.
An homage to Moroccan painter Hassan El Glaoui and his depictions of cavalry and their brave elegance."

A beguiling, mesmerizing fragrance. Beauty incarnate—an ode to our founder’s favorite flower: the tuberose. “I’ve been mesmerized by tuberose since childhood. Once I began creating fragrances on my own, I was shocked by the complexity of natural tuberose absolute–green, creamy, and earthy.”
Alia Perfumer & Founder
A tuberose perfume that reimagines the infamously mesmerizing and sensual white flower. Grapefruit rind lends freshness with freesia and sparkling pink pepper. A rare tuberose absolute comes forth with slightly sweet and creamy lushness. Three vetiver extractions ground the formula with a woody depth.
Created by master perfumer, Dominique Ropion, the undisputed king of white florals.
What does the color purple smell like? Silky, sweet secrets. (Formerly known as Himitsu) "A delicate mauve-tinted secret behind teeth. The whisper of violets and heliotrope—a flushed purple flower casts a shadow over the sweetness of saffron. The comforting powdery silkiness of suede and tolu balsam linger longer.
Sweet, addicting, transparent, but memorable. Perhaps it’s no surprise that Himitsu means secret in Japanese. Created by master perfumer, Dominique Ropion."
