‘Layerable with Virtuous“

This scent story is set in a palazzo in Venice, home to Cassanova – the most famous libertine of all time. Lacking in moral principles, a sense of responsibility or sexual restraint – dare you be in his presence?

You can smell his favourite tipple of cordial orgeat – the bitter almond, orange flower and brandy tickle your lips and nose, as well as your other senses. There’s an intoxicating smell of gunpowder from the duelling pistols wistfully intermingling with the beeswax candles. With one hand you might pass him a single rose, with the other remove your mask and dash it into the canal below.

Dusky dark rose soaked in cognac and bitter orange flower, teased with soft worn leather, hot wax, spicy cumin, deep saffron and held down by amber and dark woods. Not for the faint of heart, but for the bold of spirit.

Have a look at Libertine’s contradicting paired scent, Virtuous. Each pair is harmoniously crafted so that each highlights and subdues certain qualities of the other to create a unique third or fourth scent depending on which way round you layer.

THE PERFUME HOUSE

A brave, expressive, personal perfume experience.

Contradictions in ILK gender-free, cruelty-free, and planet-friendly scents inspired by human nature. Their layerable pairs allow you to celebrate the contradictions within your character by adapting your scent to compliment your mood, environment, and whim. They believe that perfume allows for the ultimate means of self-expression, be the artist of your own scent story.

“We want to inspire others to use their perfume to experience significant moments more deeply, to capture vivid emotions, and to help tell stories by engaging all the senses. Perfume doesn’t have to be a Christmas gift, a huge bottle you tire of before you reach the end, a footnote in your beauty regime. It can and should be more – express yourself with scent.”

​Ilk is an old Scottish word with varied interpretations over the centuries, their interpretation is ‘the essence of who you are’. So Contradictions in ILK is referring to the contradictions in who we are; which is exactly what Annabella & Holly, the co-founders of this beautiful house wish to celebrate with their collection of layerable scents inspired by human nature.
