Contes de Parfums Timeless Cities Discovery Set5 × 10 ml

The Contes de Parfums Timeless Cities Set brings together five perfume extracts in 10 ml bottles, with a velvet pouch and a collector's booklet.

From cities experienced to vanished cities

At Contes de Parfums, each perfume is a personal memory of the perfumer, who works without commercial constraints, and their name is printed on the bottle. The Cities collection tells the story of cities that the noses have personally experienced; the Timeless Cities collection takes it a step further and tackles vanished cities — those that no perfumer has ever been able to visit. It is no longer a matter of recreating a memory, but of inventing one.

What the set contains

Five 10 ml extracts, making a total of 50 ml of perfume: Babylon and Alexandria by Alberto Morillas, Samarkand by Ane Ayo, Pompeii by Pierre-Constantin Guéros and Angkor by Florent di Marino.

The house's signature

Five cities that none of the perfumers have been able to visit. This is what sets this collection apart from the previous one: the noses are no longer recreating a memory, they are creating one. Babylon and its Ishtar Gate, Pompeii frozen in ash, Angkor being reclaimed by the jungle, Samarkand on the Silk Road, Alexandria at the crossroads of knowledge. Alberto Morillas is a household name — he is one of the most famous perfumers in the world. And all five are perfume extracts, denser than the eau de parfums in the Cities collection. The velvet pouch and the booklet make it a complete object, not just a simple sample set.

For whom, and for what occasions?

For those who want to discover an entire collection rather than a single perfume, and for giving a gift that truly lasts. All five extracts are unisex and revolve around woody notes, leather, and incense.

With the Contes de Parfums Timeless Cities Set, you visit five cities that no one can see anymore.
