{"title":"Antoine Maisondieu","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs the third generation of a family of perfumers (not to mention the grandson of Albert Camus), Antoine Maisondieu’s youthful rebellion was forced to take an unusual form: he went to law school. But the pull of the fragrance world was too powerful, and ultimately Antoine abandoned the law for an internship in perfumery that became a job creating scents for Givaudan, where he was responsible for mass market hits such as Armani Code and Burberry Brit. In the niche world, he has collaborated heavily with Comme des Garcons, Van Cleef \u0026amp; Arpels, and Etat Libre d’Orange.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"nice-bergamote-by-essential-parfums","title":"Nice Bergamote","description":"\u003cp\u003eNice Bergamote is indeed a nice bergamot! In fact, we think the name might be underselling it a tad. The juicy sourness of the finest 100% natural Calabrian bergamot extract bursts out of the bottle like a firework, drenching the senses in an icy freshness that feels like liquid sunshine. What’s remarkable here is that all the other supporting notes match the bergamot in its naturalness, so they fade in and out of the picture depending on their volatility, as if designed by Mother Nature herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor example, the soft eddy of natural jasmine and rose petals that swirls up in the heart creates a velvety thickness that steps in when the tartness of the topnote begins to fade. A buttery ylang licks at the edges, adding a fleshy sensuality to the brighter notes, but none of the flower’s usual loudness. It’s worth noting that the bergamot never disappears completely, only softening from a verdant, limey sourness to a thread of mandarin-like juiciness that runs through the scent, connecting all the parts. The base plays host to a natural tonka bean extract from Venezuela that smells like a golden cream of hay, almonds, and espresso with a shot of milk. The tonka bean accent is subtle, not overly sweet, and is further reined in by a smoky, resinous cedarwood. If you’re looking for a natural-smelling bergamot scent that doesn’t devolve into the usual white musks or woody ambers, then Nice Bergamot is more than just nice - it’s perfect.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Essential Parfums","offers":[{"title":"100ml","offer_id":46717459104065,"sku":"803003","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10ml","offer_id":50658708488513,"sku":"803003_R","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1ml spray","offer_id":50658708521281,"sku":"803003_S","price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/6138\/3745\/files\/nice_bergamot_100ml.jpg?v=1769624630"},{"product_id":"green-by-comme-des-garcons-play","title":"Green","description":"What's green?

And who else would be able to make this perfume so incredibly attractive and endlessly wearable?  “White vetiver splattered on the asphalt of Time Square”, the fragrance juxtaposes the dry, earthy transparency of vetiver with the sweeter, balsamic smokiness of opoponax and myrrh. As the scent develops, it metamorphoses from the green, slightly salty gauze of a smell into something substantial and solid.

Soaking in the legendary open-air hinoki ofuro (wooden bath) filled with warm spring water on a chilly morning, the idea for the perfume was born and the result is breathtaking.  The ofuro is captured perfectly: the full, rich scent of the wood, the smells of the surrounding greenery, the soft touch of meditative incense, the memories of native moss.  Hinoki is a dry,  woody-fresh scent with an intangible ”something” that gives it a mystical edge and the ability, much like CdG's Incense Series, to conjure the exact emotion and feel of the idea behind its creation and name.","brand":"Comme des Garcons x Monocle","offers":[{"title":"50ml","offer_id":46721111458113,"sku":"41700","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1ml spray","offer_id":50657934901569,"sku":"41700_S","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/6138\/3745\/files\/41700.jpg?v=1754952383"},{"product_id":"nice-bergamote-extrait-by-essential-parfums","title":"Nice Bergamote Extrait","description":"\u003cp\u003eExterior, night.
