Warm, rich, exotic, intense, spicy dramatic notes, often based on amber, vanilla, incense with florid floral top notes. Fresh, floral, sometimes herbal/mossy scents dominated by leafy, grassy, crisp notes. Lemon, bergamot, neroli, petitgrain, tangerine, grapefruit, cedar, syringe and lime. Reviving and refreshing. Rich, dark, smoky, deep, spicy notes usually intensified or contrasted with green, floral or animalic oils. Bouquets of flowers - tuberose, roses, lily, jasmine, lilac, muguet, ylang-ylang, violets, orange blossom etc. Fresh, sweet, feminine. Mostly florals and greens enlivened with notes of soft sweet fruits - peach, apricot, plum, pineapple, prune, and raspberry. Literally "from Cyprus". Longlasting, warm, mossy, soft dark scents. Very sophisticated, urban, couture and elegant. Usually chypres feature sharp, green top notes which soften to bases of oakmoss, amber, leather, vetiver, patchouli and sandalwood. Full-bodied, green, dark, aromatic notes of cedar, sandal, juniper, birchwood, rosewood, ebony, patchouli, oak-moss, lavender, clary sage. Entirely synthetic and quirky modern sub-group which uses a variety of chemicals (e.g. calene) to introduce a suggestion of the sea, lakes, rivers and streams to the top and middle notes of a perfume. As innovative and ingenious as the introduction of aldehydes in the early 1920's.

Ruth Mastenbroek  

It’s always especially exciting to showcase a new fragrance by home-grown English talent: step forward RUTH MASTENBROEK, a leading light of English perfumery for the past quarter century.

Ruth has just launched her very own fragrance line which reflects not only her original talent but her enormous experience of the perfume world: she took a degree in chemistry at Oxford and trained with the best perfumers in the business at Grasse.

At the coal face, she has worked on the shop floor at Selfridge’s and for Quest perfume creations. Ruth was formerly President of the British Society of Perfumers. So she really knows every angle of this very intricate art and we think it shows in her gorgeous debut chypre scent. Classically constructed with amongst other notes, patchouli, jasmine, orange blossom and lily, RM is available in Eau de Parfum, Candle, Soap and Room Fragrance Diffusers: bound to please, RM is exquisitely balanced, discreetly sexy and supremely elegant.

An elegant, soignee, thoroughly womanly scent for the 21st century girl who can admire the glamour, sophistication and craftsmanship of perfume heritage.
