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.

Sample Service

To assist you in making the right choice of fragrance from a distance, we provide a sample service. We will send a phial of fragrance for you to try before you order; a small service charge of £3.00 per sample *(for postage & packaging) will be made. There is, however, no charge made for samples when visiting the shop in person.

Up to six samples (please do not exceed this limit) of any of the fragrances listed on the website may be obtained at one time. If we do not have your requested fragrance sample available at the time, we reserve the right to substitute it with another fragrance sample. We highly recommend this service, as although we try to provide you with information to assist your choice, a fragrance should ideally be 'tried on' and worn before a final decision is made.

The content of fragrance provided within the phial, we feel should allow you to know if the fragrance is right for you. Therefore, as stocks can be limited at certain times of the year, we ask that you do not make multiple purchases of the same fragrance as this may result in the next customer unnecessarily waiting for availability. We ask that you please remember that the service is in place to allow you the opportunity to live with the fragrance before purchasing a bottle, for this reason all sample orders made through the website are recorded on a 'customer account history', allowing our experts to see what fragrances have been tried, and thus steer you in the right direction.

Our advice is always available to you by telephone +44 (0) 20 7730 2322) or by email to sales@lessenteurs.com. In cases of uncertainty, minimise risk by taking a sample before buying.

SAMPLE ORDERS ARE SENT BY SECOND CLASS MAIL AND CAN TAKE UP TO 10 DAYS. AT CHRISTMAS TIME IT CAN TAKE LONGER ESPECIALLY TO DESTINATIONS OUTSIDE THE UK.

N.B. Please be aware that when ordering samples and/or catalogues only, there is a £18 limit to receive the items free from any extra delivery charge. If you attempt to order samples and catalogues exceeding that £18 value in one transaction you will automatically be charged for postage to your destination in addition to the £3.00 per sample and £3 catalogue charge. It is advised therefore to order in two separate transactions if you wish to order all six samples and a catalogue.

* With the exception of Une Rose and Carnal Flower which are perfume strength, Grossmiths and Isabey fragrances.
