Balmain and Trudon, it's a story that is starting to last.
The two houses have once again united, and called on Emilie Bouge, perfumer at Robertet, to reinterpret the Ernesto scent by adding a floral touch.
The base of leather and cedar wood from the Atlas combines with gunpowder and cigar to bring out the notes of black rose and give it femininity and mystery.
The glass, handcrafted in Italy, is adorned with a deep red and golden stripes reminiscent of Balmain's iconic marinière.

Michael Kors also got his start in fashion and knows how hard it can be to make a name for himself.
For these reasons, it honors the Ashya label, a young New York label from Brooklyn.
Specialized in accessories, the New York brand thus highlights its know-how and gives birth to two minimalist and unisex leather bags from this collaboration.
The two labels have imagined a print combining the signature logo of Michael Kors with inspiration from West African weaving techniques.
Available in black and brown, the accessories are the perfect travel companions.

An olfactory collaboration that will make noise
Olfactive Stereophonic, the new diffuser from Byredo and Ojas.

The perfume brand Byredo has teamed up with Ojas, an artisanal audio company, to create a new, original diffuser: the Olfactive Stereophonic.
Exit the scented candle or the reeds of incense, here it is a device designed to look like an industrial loudspeaker which integrates a smell into a sound system.
Both brands set out to create a fragrance that invites spiritual experience.
How it works ?
Comfortably seated with a musical selection to escape in the background, you will then see the speaker diffuse the perfume thanks to perfumed cartridges without alcohol or solvent.
A spellbinding moment.
Available in Byredo boutiques, 199, rue Saint-Honoré 75008 Paris
