1. Enigma — inspired by Pernoire Anelo
Fruity · Tropical · Citrus | Unisex
Pineapple and pomelo give Enigma a bright, juicy opening, with mandarin adding a citrus lift. Mango brings a rounded tropical sweetness through the heart, balanced by ginger and magnolia. Dry amber, vetiver and patchouli give the fruit a warm, grounded finish.
- Top: Pineapple, Pomelo, Mandarin.
- Heart: Mango, Ginger, Magnolia.
- Base: Dry Amber, Vetiver, Patchouli.
If you are searching for an Anelo-inspired perfume, start here. Enigma is the fruitiest tropical option in this group, with a dry base that balances the mango and pineapple. Choose it if you enjoy bright fruit with a little ginger warmth.
2. Current Noir Extrait — inspired by Matière Première Black Currant Extrait
Fruity · Leather · Oud | Unisex
Current Noir Extrait pairs tart blackcurrant with a darker leather-and-oud character. Green fruit facets lead into patchouli and a subtle rosy nuance, before the woody base brings depth. A rich fruit profile with a textured, less sugary finish.
- Top: Blackcurrant.
- Heart: Leather, Patchouli, Rose Oxide.
- Base: Oud.
For a Black Currant Extrait alternative, Current Noir Extrait offers the darkest direction in this launch. It is the one to explore if you like fruit paired with leather and woods, rather than a straightforward sweet berry scent.
3. Blue Duce — inspired by Antonio Banderas Blue Seduction
Fresh · Aquatic · Aromatic | Men
Blue Duce opens with cool mint, melon and bergamot, giving the fragrance a fresh, relaxed feel. Aquatic notes and green apple meet cardamom, nutmeg and a soft cappuccino nuance through the heart. Woods and amber provide a warm contrast to the breezy opening.
- Top: Melon, Bergamot, Mint, Blackcurrant.
- Heart: Sea Water, Green Apple, Cappuccino, Cardamom, Nutmeg.
- Base: Woody Notes, Amber.
Looking for a Blue Seduction-inspired men's fragrance? Blue Duce is the relaxed, fresh option. Its aquatic character makes it a useful starting point for anyone who enjoys melon, mint and a lightly spicy woody finish.
4. Tiger Gem Extrait — inspired by Bvlgari Le Gemme Tygar Extrait
Citrus · Woody · Amber | Unisex
Tiger Gem Extrait brings a vivid grapefruit opening together with a warm ambergris-style accord. Woody warmth, benzoin and Peru balsam add a rounded, resinous depth beneath the citrus. Inspired specifically by the Extrait interpretation, it balances freshness with a fuller amber base.
Key notes: Grapefruit Accord, Ambergris Accord, Amber, Siam Benzoin, Peru Balsam.
Tiger Gem Extrait takes its inspiration specifically from Le Gemme Tygar Extrait. It is worth exploring if your preference is grapefruit and woods with a warmer, resinous finish. It is a separate addition to our existing Tiger fragrances.
5. Hanum — inspired by Boadicea the Victorious Hanuman
Citrus · Floral · Woody | Unisex
Hanum opens with lemon, bergamot and blackcurrant, softened by orange blossom. Osmanthus, neroli, magnolia and cyclamen create a luminous floral heart. Cedarwood, sandalwood and vetiver anchor the fragrance, with musk and amber adding a smooth finish.
- Top: Lemon, Orange Blossom, Bergamot, Blackcurrant.
- Heart: Osmanthus, Neroli, Magnolia, Cyclamen.
- Base: Amber, Cedarwood, Musk, Sandalwood, Vetiver.
If you are looking for a Hanuman-inspired alternative, Hanum combines a bright opening with a floral heart and woody base. Consider it when you want citrus freshness softened by flowers, rather than the stronger tropical fruit character of Enigma.
