Description

Philosykos DIPTYQUE Eau De Parfum is an evocative tribute to the fig tree, capturing the warmth of a Greek summer beneath sunlit branches. Green fig leaves introduce a crisp, vegetal freshness, while fig tree sap brings a creamy, milky dimension that softens the composition. Black pepper adds a subtle spice, creating contrast against the earthy character of the foliage. As the fragrance develops, fig tree wood and white cedar reveal a deeper, drier warmth, evoking sun-baked bark and the quiet stillness of a Mediterranean grove. Inspired by memories of wild fig trees on Mount Pelion in Greece, Philosykos balances green freshness, milky nuances, and woody depth in a refined, naturally textured fragrance.

Amouage vs Maison Francis Kurkdjian: Luxury Niche Compared

Amouage vs Maison Francis Kurkdjian: Luxury Niche Compared
One house was founded to revive an Arabian perfume tradition. The other was built around a single perfumer's many moods. Here is how to choose between them. Amouage and Maison Francis Kurkdjian are often mentioned together because both sit at the luxury end of niche perfume, and both appeal to shoppers who want something more refined than a typical designer fragrance. They come from very different places, though. This guide compares their origins, style and signature lines, and helps you decide where to start. Esscentum carries both, and each collection includes fragrances plus a few extras. Confirm current pricing, notes and availability on the Amouage and Maison Francis Kurkdjian collection pages rather than treating anything here as fixed. At a Glance Amouage Maison Francis Kurkdjian Origin Oman Paris, France Founded 1983, at the request of Sultan Qaboos bin Said 2009, by Francis Kurkdjian and Marc Chaya Identity Arabian tradition, frankincense and French craftsmanship A perfumer's "fragrance wardrobe" with many facets Signature lines in stock Gold (the house's first fragrance, by Guy Robert) and newer releases such as Decision The Aqua line and the À la rose family Ownership Not covered here LVMH took a majority stake in 2017 Esscentum range 15 products: fragrances, hair perfumes, body care 15 products, mostly fragrances Origins and Philosophy Amouage was founded in Oman in 1983 at the request of Sultan Qaboos bin Said, who wanted to revive the region's tradition of luxury perfumery. Sayyid Hamad bin Hamoud al-Busaidi was the founder, and the French perfumer Guy Robert created the first fragrance, Gold, using materials associated with Oman, including frankincense. For years its perfumes were given as state gifts, and the house carried the tagline "The Gift of Kings." Maison Francis Kurkdjian was founded in Paris in 2009 by the perfumer Francis Kurkdjian and Marc Chaya, described in published biographies as a Lebanese-French businessman. Kurkdjian created Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male in 1995, at 26, long before the house existed. LVMH took a majority stake in 2017. The house presents itself as a "fragrance wardrobe" with many facets of emotion rather than a single signature style. Scent Style Amouage's identity leans on its heritage: frankincense, rich resins and a sense of ceremony. Its newer work moves in other directions. Decision is listed by one decant retailer as a 2025 launch by the perfumer Quentin Bisch with bergamot, cardamom and pink pepper on top, frankincense, juniper and myrrh in the heart, and vanilla, cedarwood and patchouli underneath. Reviewers call it versatile. Purpose, from 2023, is described by reviewers as one of Amouage's most incense-heavy and polarizing releases. The recent Essences collection, which includes Lustre, Reasons and Line 618, is described by one retailer as roughly 30% concentration with a six-month aging process. MFK's style is more varied and often lighter. Aqua Universalis, its best-known fragrance in stock, is described by retailers as a musky citrus with bergamot, lemon and white flowers, and it won Cosmétique Magazine's best niche unisex perfume award in 2010. One retail review calls the Aqua range the house's best-selling unisex line. The À la rose family covers rose in three forms, and Gentle Fluidity Gold is listed with juniper, nutmeg and coriander over musks and vanilla. If you want ceremony and depth, Amouage leans that way. If you want polish and range, MFK does. Gender and Versions Older Amouage releases often come in separate Man and Woman versions, while at least some newer releases are described as being for both. MFK's Aqua range is marketed as unisex, and other releases are labeled for men or women. In both cases, treat labels as guides and read the notes. At Esscentum, check whether a listing such as Gold or Sunshine refers to the men's or women's version. Beyond Perfume Amouage's listing at Esscentum includes hair perfumes and body care, including body lotions and shower gels in two scents, Guidance and Love Delight. That gives the collection a gifting angle, with lower-commitment options for someone who doesn't want a full perfume. MFK's collection is almost entirely fragrances, with one hair mist and two linen sprays outside the core range. Which One Suits You? Choose Amouage if You're drawn to frankincense, resins and a traditional Arabian sensibility. You like the idea of a house with state-gift heritage. You'd like hair perfume or body care alongside a fragrance. Choose Maison Francis Kurkdjian if You want a polished, modern Paris style with a wide spread of moods. You prefer fresh, rose or musky directions as well as richer ones. You like a perfumer-led house with a global reputation. Where to Start With Each These picks are confirmed as listed in Esscentum's catalog, but check current stock and version before ordering. Amouage: Gold for the house's origins; Decision as a modern, versatile frankincense-led option; and Purpose if you love incense and can sample first. See our Amouage buying guide and best-of list. Maison Francis Kurkdjian: Aqua Universalis for fresh, everyday wear; À la rose for rose lovers; and Gentle Fluidity Gold for something warmer. See our MFK buying guide and best-of list. Not a verdict: Both are luxury houses, so the choice comes down to taste. Amouage leans toward heritage and depth, MFK toward polish and variety. If you can, sample one or two from each before committing to a full bottle. Frequently Asked Questions Is Amouage better than Maison Francis Kurkdjian? Neither is better in general. Amouage suits shoppers who want heritage and richness, while MFK suits those who want a polished, varied Paris style. Where are Amouage and Maison Francis Kurkdjian from? Amouage is from Oman, founded in 1983. Maison Francis Kurkdjian is from Paris, founded in 2009. Are Amouage and MFK unisex? MFK's Aqua range is marketed as unisex. Older Amouage releases often have separate Man and Woman versions, though some newer ones are described as being for both. Check each product page. Where can I buy Amouage and MFK in Lebanon?

Mancera vs Montale: Comparing Two Niche Oud Powerhouses

Mancera vs Montale: Comparing Two Niche Oud Powerhouses
They share a founder and a love of intensity, but they are two distinct houses with different bottles, different moods and different ranges. If you've shopped for niche perfume in Lebanon, you've probably seen Mancera and Montale side by side, and wondered whether they are the same thing. They are not, but they are closely related. This guide explains the connection, what separates them, and how to choose. Esscentum stocks both, with 76 Montale products and 57 Mancera products. Confirm current pricing, notes and availability on the Montale and Mancera collection pages rather than treating anything here as fixed. At a Glance Montale Mancera Origin French, based in Paris French, based in Paris Founded 2003, by Pierre Montale 2008, by Pierre Montale with his daughter Amélie Bottle Simple aluminum Heavy glass in an Art Deco style Scent identity Oud and rose at the core, "French ambassador of oud" A wider spread, from fresh citrus to gourmand, vanilla and oud Esscentum range 76 products 57 products Best for A committed oud and rose style Variety, with oud as one option The Family Connection Montale was founded in Paris in 2003 by the perfumer Pierre Montale. Mancera followed in 2008. According to Mancera's own history page, Pierre Montale started the house as a collaboration with his daughter, Amélie, who became its artistic director in 2017. The same page describes a shared boutique near the Champs-Élysées from May 2015. Retailers describe the two as sister brands: independent houses run by the same family, with distinct creative styles. That context matters because it explains the overlap. Both are known for concentrated, long-lasting perfumes with a strong Middle Eastern influence. It also explains why people compare them, and why they feel more alike than most pairs of niche houses. Bottles and Presentation The packaging is the easiest way to tell them apart. A retailer comparison describes Montale's bottles as simple aluminum and Mancera's as heavy, cylindrical glass with an Art Deco look. Mancera's own history page describes purity and geometry inspiring its flasks and boxes, and a distributor catalog says the glass bottle was created in response to market demand after the aluminum Montale bottle. If presentation matters to you, for gifting or display, Mancera's glass is likely to feel more glamorous, while Montale's aluminum is more understated. Scent Style Montale is the more focused of the two. Retailers describe its signature as oud paired with Bulgarian or Turkish rose, vanilla and patchouli, and its best-known fragrance, Black Aoud, is described by one retailer as a medicinal, leathery oud smoothed by dark red rose and earthy patchouli. Mancera casts a wider net. Parfumo describes a portfolio that ranges from fresh citrus and aromatic compositions to floral, gourmand, woody, vanilla, musky and oud-driven fragrances. Retailer descriptions of individual releases fit that range: Red Tobacco is described as rich and bold, Instant Crush as a warm, spiced unisex scent, and French Riviera as a fresh unisex fragrance. If you want oud in all its forms, Montale gives you more depth. If you want some oud alongside lighter and sweeter options, Mancera gives you more range. Longevity Both houses are known for high-concentration formulas, and a retailer guide says Mancera delivers the same signature longevity and bold projection as Montale. The same guide says fragrances from both houses often improve a few months after first being sprayed, as the oils mature. That is a retailer's observation rather than a guarantee, and performance varies by fragrance and by person, so treat the product page as the guide. Which One Suits You? Choose Montale if You already love oud and rose and want to explore them in depth. You prefer understated, simple packaging. You want the original house, with the larger catalog. Choose Mancera if You want a wider range of moods, from fresh to gourmand to oud. You like an Art Deco glass bottle and a more glamorous presentation. You want to try the family's style with a younger house's more varied take. Where to Start With Each These picks are confirmed as listed in Esscentum's catalog, but check current stock before ordering. Montale: Black Aoud, the signature oud and rose release; Aoud Queen Roses for a rose-led direction; and Arabians for the house's spice-and-amber side. See our Montale buying guide. Mancera: Red Tobacco for something rich and bold; Instant Crush Intense, an intensified take on a warm, spiced unisex release (check how the Intense version differs); and Aoud Lemon Mint if you want oud with a different twist. See our Mancera buying guide. Not a verdict: Since both houses come from the same family, choosing between them is more about style and presentation than quality. Sample one or two from each if you can before committing to a full bottle. If you're also weighing Italian options, see our Xerjoff vs Montale comparison. Frequently Asked Questions Is Mancera the same as Montale? No. They are separate houses with different catalogs and bottles, but both come from Pierre Montale. Mancera was founded in 2008 as a collaboration with his daughter Amélie. Which lasts longer, Mancera or Montale? Both are known for concentrated, long-lasting formulas, and a retailer guide says Mancera matches Montale's longevity. Performance varies by fragrance, so check individual product pages. What's the difference between the bottles? Montale uses simple aluminum bottles, while Mancera uses heavy glass bottles in an Art Deco style. Where can I buy Mancera and Montale in Lebanon? Both are available online through Esscentum's dedicated collections. Always verify current stock and pricing on the product page before ordering. Compare both houses side by side.

Xerjoff vs Montale: Which Oud House Suits You?

Xerjoff vs Montale: Which Oud House Suits You?
One is an Italian house that treats oud as one theme among many. The other is a French house built almost entirely around it. Here is how to choose. Xerjoff and Montale are two of the most searched niche houses in Lebanon, and they often land on the same shortlist because both are known for rich, long-lasting perfumes with oud somewhere in the picture. They are less alike than that suggests. This guide compares their origins, how they use oud, how their catalogs are organized, and which kind of shopper each suits. Esscentum stocks both, with 78 Xerjoff products and 76 Montale products, so you can compare them side by side. Confirm current pricing, notes and availability on the Xerjoff and Montale collection pages rather than treating anything here as fixed. At a Glance Xerjoff Montale Origin Italian, connected to Turin French, based in Paris Founded 2004, by Sergio Momo 2003, by Pierre Montale Identity Italian luxury, broad range of themes "French ambassador of oud," oud and rose at the core Oud's role One strand among many, with a dedicated Oud Stars line The central idea running through the catalog Esscentum range 78 products across many named lines 76 products, mostly Aoud, Arabians, Diamond and Rendez-Vous Best for Variety, collectibility, an Italian luxury feel A committed oud and rose style Origins and Philosophy Xerjoff was founded by Sergio Momo in 2004, the year its first collection, XJ 17/17, launched. Momo's interests show in the house's identity: Parfumo notes his passion for astronomy led to bottles decorated with a small piece of meteorite, and the house later revived an older fragrance name with its Casamorati 1888 collection. Today the house also partners with the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin, which gives it a distinctly Italian luxury presence. Montale was founded in Paris in 2003 by Pierre Montale. By the house's own account, he had been creating perfumes for royalty and dignitaries in Saudi Arabia before returning to France, where he positioned himself as an "ambassador of oud" for the West. Retailers describe the signature Montale pairing as oud with Bulgarian or Turkish rose, vanilla and patchouli. One retailer claims patchouli appears in 95% of the collection. That is a retailer's claim, not an independent figure, but it matches the impression a quick look through the range gives. Montale fragrances are also known for their aluminum bottles. How Each House Uses Oud This is the real difference. In Montale's catalog, oud is the organizing idea. The Aoud line alone is long, with each release pairing oud with a different partner, and its best-known fragrance, Black Aoud, is described by one retailer as a medicinal, leathery oud smoothed by dark red rose and earthy patchouli. Xerjoff treats oud as one of several directions. The Oud Stars line focuses on it, and Parfumo records that the house presented its own interpretation of oud in 2012, but the wider catalog covers many other themes across its sub-lines, including Casamorati 1888, Join the Club, Kemi, Shooting Stars, 17/17 and XJ 1861. If you want oud in a variety of moods alongside non-oud options, Xerjoff gives you more room. If you want to explore oud and rose in depth, Montale does. How the Catalogs Are Organized Montale's range at Esscentum falls into recognizable groups: the Aoud line, Black Aoud and Intense Black Aoud, Arabians, Rendez-Vous, the Diamond line, and standalone oud and non-oud releases. Xerjoff's is split into named sub-lines, each with its own character, which makes the catalog feel more like a set of small collections. Neither is easy to browse cold, so deciding which line suits you first saves time. Intensity, Longevity and Price Both houses are positioned as niche luxury, and both are generally described as intense. We haven't verified performance claims for specific bottles, and projection varies by fragrance, so use each product page as the guide rather than the brand's reputation. Pricing for both sits above mainstream designer perfume. Check current prices on the product pages, since niche pricing isn't standardized. Which One Suits You? Choose Montale if You already love oud and want to explore it in depth. You like the pairing of oud with rose, vanilla and patchouli. You want a catalog with a clear, consistent identity. Choose Xerjoff if You want variety, with oud as one option among several moods. You enjoy collecting and exploring named sub-lines. You like an Italian luxury sensibility and distinctive bottle details. Where to Start With Each These picks are confirmed as listed in Esscentum's catalog, but check current stock before ordering. Montale: Black Aoud, the house's signature oud and rose release; Intense Black Aoud for a more concentrated take; and Aoud Queen Roses if you prefer a rose-led direction. See our Montale buying guide. Xerjoff: Naxos and Erba Pura, two of the house's most discussed standalone names, and Alexandria II from the Oud Stars line if oud is what you're after. See our Xerjoff buying guide. Not a verdict: There's no objectively better house here. These are different approaches to rich perfumery, and the best test is to try specific bottles. If you can, sample one or two from each before committing to a full bottle. Frequently Asked Questions Is Xerjoff or Montale better? Neither is better in general. Montale suits shoppers who want oud and rose explored in depth, while Xerjoff suits those who want more variety across themes. Which is more expensive, Xerjoff or Montale? Both sit in the niche tier above mainstream designer perfume. Compare current prices on the product pages, since individual bottles vary. Which has more oud? Oud runs through most of Montale's catalog. Xerjoff has a dedicated oud line, Oud Stars, but treats oud as one theme among many. Where can I buy Xerjoff and Montale in Lebanon? Both are available online through Esscentum's dedicated collections. Always verify current stock and pricing on the product page before ordering. Compare both houses side by side.

Parfums de Marly: Brand Guide & Where to Buy in Lebanon
A Paris perfume house inspired by an 18th-century royal château, with bottles that carry a pair of horses. Parfums de Marly was founded in Paris in 2009 by Julien Sprecher. The name comes from the Château de Marly, a royal retreat that the house uses as shorthand for the lavish, festive side of the 18th-century French court. Horses are part of that story. A retailer account describes Louis's love of breeding them and the statuary commissioned for the estate, including Guillaume Coustou's Marly Horses, and the house's bottles carry a design with two horses, which Parfumo notes is another passion of the founder. Esscentum carries eight Parfums de Marly fragrances. This guide covers what defines the house, what's in stock, and a notable gap in the range. Confirm exact pricing, notes and availability on the live Parfums de Marly collection page rather than treating anything here as fixed. What Makes Parfums de Marly Different? Historical storytelling. The house frames its fragrances as a revival of 18th-century French perfumery, with names and imagery drawn from the world of royal horses and the court. A recognizable bottle. The design with two horses and a silver or gold cap makes the line easy to spot. Popular signatures. Retailer coverage names Layton, Herod, Delina and Pegasus as the house's most famous fragrances, and notes that Layton, Pegasus and Delina share a warm vanilla heart. That makes a sample set a quick way to find a favorite. Luxury pricing. Always confirm current pricing on the product page rather than relying on figures seen elsewhere. Parfums de Marly Fragrances Available at Esscentum Retailers list all eight of these as eau de parfum: Pegasus — a composition of fruits, spices and woody notes according to Niche Beauty, and one of the house's four best-known names. Pegasus Exclusif — a reinterpretation of Pegasus, described by the same retailer as turning the classic into a more sensual experience. Check the listing for how it differs. Herod — one of the house's four best-known names, according to retailer coverage. Haltane — described as starting with a herbal top note and developing into a soft composition with gourmand nuances. Castley, Oajan, Palatine and Perseus — four further fragrances. We haven't described these because we couldn't verify their notes, so read each product page. Inventory note: Layton and Delina, the house's best-known fragrances, don't appear in Esscentum's indexed catalog, and neither do Delina Exclusif, Delina La Rosée or Layton Exclusif. Make sure nothing implies they're available, and consider raising the gap with the merchandising team. Delina is the house's best-known women's line, so the current selection may have nothing marketed to women. How to Choose a Parfums de Marly Fragrance Start with the best-known names Of the four signatures, Pegasus and Herod are the two Esscentum stocks. They're the most useful reference points for understanding the house. Understand the Exclusif versions Pegasus Exclusif is a separate listing from Pegasus. Read both product pages before choosing between them. Sample if you can Because several of the house's best-known fragrances share a vanilla heart, a sample or discovery set is a quick way to tell them apart. Buying Parfums de Marly in Lebanon: What to Check Before You Order Exact name and version. Confirm whether you're ordering the standard or Exclusif version. Size. Retailers describe the house's bottles as 75 ml or 125 ml. Check the listing. Current price and stock. Treat the live product page as the source of truth. We're not making claims here about authorized distribution or exclusivity. Confirm that directly with the retailer if it matters to your decision. Frequently Asked Questions Who founded Parfums de Marly? Julien Sprecher founded it in Paris in 2009. What is Parfums de Marly's most famous perfume? Retailers name Layton, Herod, Delina and Pegasus. Herod and Pegasus are available at Esscentum; Layton and Delina are not currently listed. Why are there horses on the bottle? The house takes its name from the Château de Marly, a royal estate associated with horse breeding, and the founder's own interest in horses is cited as part of the inspiration. Where can I buy Parfums de Marly in Lebanon? Parfums de Marly is available online through Esscentum's dedicated collection.

Maison Margiela: Brand Guide & Where to Buy in Lebanon
A Paris fashion house whose Replica fragrances are built around memories, with typewritten labels that read like a note to your past self. Maison Martin Margiela was founded in Paris in 1988 by the Belgian designer Martin Margiela. In 1994 the house introduced "Replica," a line of garments and accessories collected from around the world and reproduced season by season. In 2012 it applied the same idea to scent, creating fragrances that recreate specific moments and memories. That concept is what makes the fragrances easy to recognize. Replica bottles are inspired by apothecary jars, and each one carries a cloth label that, according to the house, details the title, place, era and scent theme. The perfumes are described as unisex and "designed for everyone." Esscentum carries ten Maison Margiela products, all from the Replica line. This guide covers what defines it, what's in stock, and what to check before buying. Confirm exact pricing, notes and availability on the live Maison Margiela collection page rather than treating anything here as fixed. What Makes Maison Margiela Different Fragrance as memory. Each Replica scent is named for a moment or place, such as a Sunday morning, a jazz club or a walk on the beach. Recognizable design. The apothecary-style bottle and the cotton label with black ink text make the line easy to spot. Everyday approachability. Replica is generally presented as accessible and unisex rather than as a rarefied niche line, and pricing sits at the luxury end of mainstream fragrance. Always confirm current pricing on the product page. Maison Margiela Fragrances Available at Esscentum All ten products come from the Replica line: Lazy Sunday Morning — Sephora lists lily of the valley, iris and white musk, built around the memory of clean linen sheets. A Maison Margiela Fragrances spokesperson has said it debuted in 2013 and accounts for over half of the line's global sales. That is the brand's own statement, so we're attributing it rather than verifying it. Jazz Club — described by Sephora as warm and woody, with pink pepper, tobacco leaf and vanilla, evoking a Brooklyn jazz club. By the Fireplace — Sephora lists chestnuts, vanilla and clove oil, evoking a fire crackling while snow falls outside. Seven further Replica fragrances — Beach Walk, Bubble Bath, Dancing on the Moon, Flying, From the Garden, On a Date and Under the Stars. We couldn't verify their notes, so read each product page. If you want to start with the most talked-about releases, Lazy Sunday Morning, Jazz Club and By the Fireplace are the three with sourced descriptions. Buying tip: The Replica line is large, and Esscentum carries only part of it. Other names you may see at retailers, such as Sailing Day, Autumn Vibes or Whispers in the Library, aren't currently listed here. How to Choose a Replica Fragrance Choose the memory that appeals The names are a genuine guide to mood. Pick the moment you'd like to wear, then check the notes on the product page. Think about warmth By the Fireplace and Jazz Club are described as warm, with vanilla in both. Lazy Sunday Morning is described as fresh and floral. That gives you a simple way to match season and occasion. Check the format The line includes eau de toilette and, for some releases such as Flying, eau de parfum according to Sephora Middle East. Confirm the concentration on the listing. Buying Maison Margiela in Lebanon: What to Check Before You Order Exact name and format. Confirm the fragrance and concentration listed. Size. Check the listing rather than assuming. Current price and stock. Treat the live product page as the source of truth. We're not making claims here about authorized distribution or exclusivity. Confirm that directly with the retailer if it matters to your decision. Frequently Asked Questions What is Maison Margiela Replica? Replica is the house's fragrance collection, launched in 2012. It recreates memories and moments and takes its name from the Replica line of garments introduced in 1994. What is Maison Margiela's most popular perfume? Lazy Sunday Morning, which a Maison Margiela Fragrances spokesperson has said accounts for over half of the line's global sales. That is the brand's own claim, not Esscentum data. Are Maison Margiela perfumes unisex? Retailers describe the Replica line as unisex and the house calls it "designed for everyone." Where can I buy Maison Margiela in Lebanon?

Brand Guide & Where to Buy in Lebanon
A Stockholm niche house that became a global name for storytelling, design-led bottles and cultural collaborations. Byredo was founded in Stockholm in 2006 by Ben Gorham, whose background spans professional basketball, fine arts and a multicultural heritage. The name is short for "by redolence," and Now Smell This describes the fragrances as inspired by memories of specific times and places. The brand later expanded well beyond scent into leather goods, makeup and jewelry. Ownership has changed over the years. A London investment firm, Manzanita Capital, bought a majority stake in 2013, and the Spanish group Puig took a majority stake in May 2022. Gorham left the brand at the end of June 2025 as part of that transition, and Puig now fully owns Byredo. Esscentum carries nine Byredo products: seven fragrances and two candles. This guide covers what the brand stands for, what's in stock, and what to check before buying. Confirm exact pricing, notes and availability on the live Byredo collection page rather than treating anything here as fixed. What Makes Byredo Different? Memory and place as inspiration. The house frames its fragrances around remembered moments rather than traditional scent families. A lifestyle brand. Beyond perfume, Byredo produces candles, leather goods, makeup and jewelry, and has collaborated with names including photographers Inez and Vinoodh, designer Virgil Abloh and IKEA. A large catalog. A recent trade report puts it at 37 perfumes, made with longtime collaborator Jérôme Épinette, and names Gypsy Water and Mojave Ghost as the sales leaders. Luxury pricing. Always confirm current pricing on the product page rather than relying on figures seen elsewhere. Byredo Products Available at Esscentum Blanche — one of the house's early releases, from 2009 according to Now Smell This. La Tulipe — released in 2010 according to the same source. Bibliothèque and Eleventh Hour — later releases, dated 2017 and 2018 respectively by Now Smell This. 1996 Inez & Vinoodh — the fragrance made in collaboration with the photographers Inez and Vinoodh. Eyes Closed and Mumbai Noise — two further fragrances. We haven't described them here because we couldn't verify their notes. Candles — Bohemia and Cotton Poplin. Inventory note: The trade report names Gypsy Water and Mojave Ghost as the brand's sales leaders, but neither appears in Esscentum's indexed catalog. Bal d'Afrique, Super Cedar and Sundazed are also absent. Avoid copy that implies the best-known Byredo names are in stock, and consider raising the gap with the merchandising team. How to Choose a Byredo Fragrance? Start with the name you've heard Byredo shoppers often arrive with a specific fragrance in mind. Check the collection page first, since the most talked-about names may not be listed. Read the product page for notes The brand's style varies widely from release to release, so reputation alone says little about any single bottle. Consider a candle The two candles are a way to bring the brand into a room, and they work as gifts for someone who already has a favorite Byredo scent. Buying Byredo in Lebanon: What to Check Before You Order Product type. Confirm whether you're ordering a fragrance or a candle. Size and format. Check the listing rather than assuming. Current price and stock. Treat the live product page as the source of truth. We're not making claims here about authorized distribution or exclusivity.

Kilian Paris: Brand Guide &: Where to Buy in Lebanon
A Paris luxury house founded by a Hennessy cognac heir, known for refillable bottles you keep for life and fragrances inspired by fine spirits. Kilian Paris was founded in 2007 by Kilian Hennessy, a descendant of the Hennessy cognac family, and launched originally as By Kilian. In February 2016 the Estée Lauder Companies acquired the brand, and Hennessy kept his creative leadership. At the time, coverage noted the range was sold in about forty countries, chiefly in North America, Europe and the Middle East, with stores that included Doha. Esscentum carries ten Kilian Paris products: six fragrances, three scented candles and a candle stand. This guide explains what defines the house, what Esscentum stocks, and what to check before buying. Confirm exact pricing, notes and availability on the live Kilian Paris collection page rather than treating anything here as fixed. If you'd like the story behind one of the house's best-known recent releases, see our piece on the man behind Kilian Paris Old Fashioned. What Makes Kilian Paris Different A spirits-driven heritage. Hennessy grew up around his family's cognac barrels, and that shows in the house's fragrances. Angels' Share takes its name from the portion of a spirit that evaporates while it ages in the barrel. Five fragrance families. Retailers describe the range as organized into The Fresh, The Narcotics, The Cellars, The Smokes and The Liquors. Refillable bottles. The house sells its fragrances in bottles designed to be kept and refilled, which it frames as "eco-luxe." Check whether a refill is offered for the specific fragrance you buy. Luxury positioning. Pricing sits at the top of the market. Always confirm current pricing on the product page.

Old Fashioned — named after the classic cocktail and part of the house's spirits-inspired work.
