The wait is over. Christopher Chong, the talented creative director at Amouage has devised the latest masterpiece from the House of Amouage.  The Amouage Library Collection, a trio of remarkable, precious fragrances that celebrate integrity, originality and virtuosity.

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

A percentage of the rough sales of the fragrance will support the programs of the non-governmental organization Intermón Oxfam to provide drinking water for the people who need it most. This commitment will remain in effect as long as the fragrance is on the market. With TOUS H2O perfume, the brand Tous wishes to complete the water cycle. To unite land and sea. Salt water, fresh water—water that is life. Therefore, part of its total sales figure will be destined to fund Intermón Oxfam projects that seek to improve and enable access to drinking water for disadvantaged communities by purifying water, establishing reservoirs, drilling wells, and installing pipelines.

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.

For example in honor of the passing of fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, here’s a classic commercial of Paris perfume for women by Yves Saint Laurent Fragrances using our new YouTube plugin from our YouTube page:

We at Parfums Raffy offer our deepest condolences in the passing of a Fashion and perfume Legend Yves Saint Laurent who passed away at his Paris home at age 71.  Mr. Saint Laurent is known for revolutionizing the fashion industry but creating some of the most timeless fragrances like:

Paris perfume for women

Amouage is not only synonymous with excellence in the perfume field but they are dedicated to preserving the long standing history of Arabian perfumery. Amouage recently celebrated it’s 25th anniversary in grand fashion by not only re-designing their logo and bottles but they also released a fragrance to mark the momentous occasion.

Created under the direction of Amouage Creative Director Christopher Chong, Jubilation 25 and Jubilation XXV was “inspired by the nocturnal beauty and mystical power of the moon”. The Goal of Jubilation was to create a timeless classic using only the finest ingredients. Jubilation is the first fragrance to be presented in Amouage’s newly designed bottles, livery and packaging. The new Amouage perfume bottles have been designed to honor the history of the brand, to form an element of continuity with the previous bottles and to become recognizable the world over as the new signature pieces of the House of Amouage.

“The design of the new men’s bottle is still inspired by the khanjar and the cap is reminiscent of ivory, whereas the women’s bottle is inspired by classical Arabian architecture and the cap is reminiscent of the beautiful dome of the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque. Both bottles have intricately-designed wave effects in their sides and bases, reflecting the meaning of the Arabic translation of Amouage which can be translated as waves of emotion, in its most literal sense.”

Parfums Raffy is now taking orders for this ground breaking fragrance and will be shipping Jubilation to the masses at the end of March.

You can order your choice of Jubilation from the following links:

Jubilation Perfume for Women by Amouage Fragrances

Jubilation Cologne for Men by Amouage Fragrances
