Wandering Stars – wandering stars. A fragrance for dreamers and wanderers, unafraid to leave the familiar behind and step into the unknown. Delicate yet primal, luminous yet dark – the intoxicating radiance of white flowers meets the earthy, animalic depths of oud.

At the heart of the composition lies an exceptional Lebanese gardenia, extracted using the ancient enfleurage method. This nearly forgotten perfumery technique extracts the fragrance of delicate flowers without heat, preserving an aroma as close as possible to that of the living blossom. Wandering Stars features Lebanese gardenia from the 2024 harvest – creamy and radiant, with unexpected nuances of plum.

The fragrance opens with a sparkling combination of Sichuan pepper and red mandarin. The freshness of neroli joins the intoxicating aroma of jasmine sambac, leading towards the gardenia – luminous, opulent and almost narcotic.

Yet beneath this floral radiance lies an entirely different world: Indonesian oud brings earthy, green and leathery facets to the composition, while Himalayan cedar and oakmoss deepen its darker side and create a striking contrast with the luminous gardenia.

Wandering Stars is a journey between light and shadow, innocence and instinct, the tenderness of flowers and the wildness of woods. A fragrance for those who sometimes lose their way simply to discover something new.
