Isabella Rosellini

Isabella Rosellini Fragrances are distincitve classic and wearable choices that are as beautiful and timeless as the great icon herself. Isabella Rosellini fragrances aim to empower and edify, with soft floral and marine tones to emphasise beauty without overpowering the wearer.

Issey Miyake

Issey Miyake creates clothes, objects and fragrances so that they can be worn or used, not admired then ultimately disgarded. Issey Miyake's is modest and self deprecating and his philosophy is that his spirit and desire only reaches his design halfway and it is the person who wears his clothes or fragrances that captivates and makes the experience memorable. For Issey Miyake the world of fragrance is a link between the body and clothes, between clothes and the environment. Issey Miyake fragrances are created as the ultimate, yet exceptional accessory.

Perfume
This is the extract or extrait of a fragrance and represents the scent in its purest form. This often creates a smooth and round texture, which is hard to achieve with the dilution represented in the other concentrations of fragrance.
EDP
Eau de Parfum or EDP is one of the most popular forms of fragrance. Eau de Parfum contains between seven to fourteen per cent of fragrance oils and perfume elixirs and is the second strongest, and longest lasting means of wearing a fine fragrance.
EDT
Eau de Toilette or EDT is fast becoming the most common means of wearing a fragrance or perfume. EDT’s are not as highly concentrated in oils and elixirs as an EDP or Perfume would be and contain one to three per cent of fragrance oils. This impacts the ability of the fragrance to last and around eighty percent of the oils in an EDT fragrance will evaporate within three hours of application.
EDC
Eau de Cologne’s or EDC’s were first popularised by Napoleon. These fragrances are often constructed in a different manner to the traditional French Model and are formulated in one single burst. As a result of this process, EDC’s or Eau de Colognes last the least amount of time on the skin and can dissolve within a couple of hours. EDC’s should be worn as a invigorating spray.
