Amouage Library collection at Parfums Raffy

AMOUAGE OPUS I  A glorious Chypre fragrance, built around a warm, floral heart of Ylang Ylang, Jasmine, Rose, Lily of the Valley and Tuberose. Top Notes of Bigarade, Plum and Cardamom add spice and individuality, whilst woody base notes of Guaiac, Cedar and Sandalwood, along with Tonka Bean, Vetiver and the House’s signature note of Frankincense provide an epic and bold closing chapter. The narrative, olfactory evolution of this fragrance was inspired by the start of a pilgrimage in search of knowledge.

AMOUAGE OPUS II  A majestic Fougere inspired by the heady and evocative fragrances of old books, dark wooden shelves and antique armchairs. Amouage Opus II opens with a rare and magical combination of Pepper, Pink Bay, Absinth and Lavender in the top notes. These notes unfurl to reveal a heart of Jasmine, Rose, Cinnamon and Cardamom. The base of Cedarwood, Amber, Frankincense and Patchouli conclude the fragrance with a soft, smoky, masculinity that contrast beautifully with the floral heart notes.

AMOUAGE OPUS III  Inspired by the art and science of the creative process, from the darkest moments of frustration, to the brightness of enlightenment and discovery. This radiant Floral Oriental fragrance is built around daring heart notes of Violet, Jasmine, Orange Blossom and Ylang Ylang. These are introduced perfectly by top notes of Carnation, Broom, Mimosa, Nutmeg and Thyme. The vibrancy of the fragrance in anchored by earthy notes of Ambrette Seed, Papyrus Benzoin, Frankincense and a trilogy of woods in the base.

The Amouage Library Collection will be available to ship the first week of August 2010, but orders are being taken at this time – Amouage Library Collection - Samples are also available.

Laura Tonatto was born in Turin, Italy, where she still lives and creates fragrances. She inherited her ‘nose’ from her grandmother and perfected this skill first with Hassan, a master perfumer in Cairo, in 1983, and then with Serge Kalouguine, at the Parfumerie Fragonard in Grasse, Provence. Laura Tonatto has been creating perfumes since 1986. It all began in a small shop in Via Brera, Milan, where she was soon visited by her first important customers, people who were looking for a custom made fragrance. Through the years she has created custom fragrances for discerning clients such as Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Parfums Raffy is now proud to offer these exquisite fragrances to our discerning clients

We’ve known it all along. Citrus fragrances will cheer you up.  A recent article in the LA Times  examines the positive effects fragrances will have on mood.  “Scents and fragrances can alter our mood, often for the better,” says Charles Spence, a psychology professor at the University of Oxford in England who is an expert in multisensory perception.  The article also states that rose and heliotrope may also play a role in keeping you calm.

Perfumer: DOMINIQUE ROPION

Cool, calm and collected. The perfect poet, discerning connoisseur, Dominique Ropion is an oxymoron all of his own. Master of his art, still modest in spite of his success, he has an additional quality, one that is almost outdated these days: his kindness. How does that fit in with perfumery? Only because it makes his talent even more remarkable… Dominique Ropion trained at the legendary Roure Bertrand Dupont laboratory before going to work with Jean-Louis Sieuzac, one of the perfumery world’s great technicians. Today he’s a master parfumer at IFF. An adventurer who abandons himself to instinct, Ropion is on a quest to create new, harmonious accords by pairing ingredients which are extreme opposites. His work is special because of the tension between precision and freedom.

Costume National Homme cologne for men is currently offered for sale on our online perfume store.

Created in the Grasse area of France by perfumer Raphael Haury comes Parfumerie Naturelle natural fragrances.

Inspired by the artisan perfumers of the past Raphael Haury has created two new fragrances using the techniques that originated in the natural perfume capital of the world. Parfums Raffy is proud to offer Parfumerie Naturelle to our customers.

We found a great article on how to wear and not wear perfume. We would suggest to take a look over them as some of the suggestions are some of the most common misconceptions and perceptions on how to wear or sample women’s perfume/men’s cologne.

http://www.examiner.com/x-11502-Louisville-Womens-Style-Examiner~y2009m7d29-Style-101-How-to-wear-Perfume

The only things we would add to this list is to use perfume samples first before purchasing a product. This is mainly in the cases where you may not have the department store sample bottles available to you. This is so you don’t purchase a perfume you aren’t really comfortable with and end up stuck with it. Perfume samples are a great, cheap option….even in these economic times.

For a selection of our perfume samples, please refer to our main perfume sample page:

I was reading the following article from a newspaper in the Philippines and the article brought up a really great point about why people buy perfume and why you should too.  The perfume you wear is a direct extension of yourself.  Not just who you are but what you are all about.  A perfume tells people if you are full of life, what kind of attitude you have, what mood you are in and so on.

Something to keep in mind the next time you shop for perfume or cologne at Parfums Raffy!

Yup you read that correctly.  Burger King has entered the perfume industry with a new beef flavored spray called “Flame”.  We personally have no idea what it smells like.  Nor do we know if it smells like a whopper or just meat.  Parfums Raffy won’t be carrying this mens perfume as it was on a very, very exclusive limited run which is now sold out.  However, we thought you all would get a kick out of this story.

For more information check out the Flame perfume website.
