FANTASQUE- GIVENCHY BEAUTY
The eccentric and outrageous Fantasque spins beneath the lavish ballroom’s gleaming lights. Expect the unexpected: Fantasque scorns banality. This unconventional, utterly free spirit lives life to the fullest, matched only by its magnetic, intriguing fragrance, which reveals an unpredictable and faceted sillage.
The fragrance expresses itself through the precious, mystical opulence of a myrrh-incense accord from Somalia. The majestic elegance of Damascena rose from Bulgaria infuses its heart notes with a floral richness that is heightened by intense Bourbon vanilla absolute from Madagascar, balsam from Peru, and oud wood from Malaysia. A key ingredient in the Collection Particulière’s line of Eaux de Parfum Intenses, the latter adds depth and texture to the fragrance. More specifically, it is the rare, treasured oud essence – obtained by distilling valuable and highly scented agarwood shavings – that defines Fantasque’s mesmerising sillage.

YUM PISTACHIO GELATO BY KAYALI FRAGRANCE
From the Founder itself, “I wanted to combine my two favorite indulgences, fragrance & gelato! Ever since I can remember, ice cream has been my favorite food and always my #1 choice when asked what would be my last meal! In 2014, I went on a trip to Rome with my sister Alya and discovered pistachio gelato -I have been OBSESSED ever since! Just like the dreamy dessert, I wanted to create something that made me feel yummy, happy and irresistible! Working with Olivier Cresp, (a world- renowned perfumer who is often credited as the “father” of gourmand fragrances) and his son, Sebastien, was SO exciting. With every delicious spritz, you’ll feel like YOU ARE the dessert!” -Mona Kattan

GUIDANCE 46 BY AMOUAGE
In 2023, Amouage released what instantly became one of its most admired and feted creations: Guidance Eau de Parfum. Composed by acclaimed perfumer Quentin Bisch, under the direction of Chief Creative Officer Renaud Salmon, the scent reinterpreted the Amouage triad of Rose, Frankincense and Ambergris, while remaining faithful to the House’s identity and breaking new ground in terms of what connoisseurs could expect from an Amouage creation. With its distinctive blend of Pear, Hazelnut and Sandalwood, Guidance brought a truly contemporary sense of grandeur to what was already an extraordinary range of compositions.
A year on, Salmon and Bisch have returned to the unique landscape they created in Guidance Eau de Parfum and cast it in an even more mesmerising light. The result of their efforts is a new addition to The Guidance Collection – Guidance 46, an Exceptional Extrait that heightens the contrasts and reveals more of the mysteries at the heart of the Guidance story.
When creating Guidance 46, Salmon and Bisch chose to take their cue from one of the Eau de Parfum’s most memorable characteristics: the striking distinction between its quieter facets and its more assertive elements. Their intention was that in Guidance 46, these contrasts would be even more singular, more arresting and more alluring.
“We thought it would be fascinating,” says Salmon, “Quentin didn’t remove anything from the original formula, but instead added certain ingredients to make all the parts of the structure stand out against each other with greater power and complexity.”
AMBERGRIS BY EMIRATES PRIDE PERFUME
The idea of the Fragrance of Ambergris began within the same year for the neighborhoods for The Heritage of Zayed as it was narrated that Sheikh Zayed liked the smell of Ambergris a lot. Hence, we collaborated with the distinctive German perfume designer Olaf Larsen, who specializes in Ambergris-based perfumes to create this iconic fragrance that will always remind you of the UAE.
Resembling the warm reception of UAE Tradition, the perfume begins with a warm and zesty Mandarin note. Blended beautifully, the Leather in the heart note gives you the smoky facet which is fused perfectly with the precious and noble warmth of Ambergris.
