South conjures up memories of warm, freshly baked bread, white linen sheets drying in the sun and the clean scent of Marseille soap. Infused with green cyclamen, bittersweet lilac and sandalwood, it is the sensual clutter of the Mediterranean soul.

The North and South duo is a love story of opposites longing for each other. A story of two souls, two cultures: Scandinavia and the Mediterranean, in an eternal dance of attraction. Two hearts as one. Experience calm, woody North and be mesmerised by warm, spontaneous South. Play with them, wear on their own or layer together. You can create perfect memories of travel and an eternal summer. As every North has its South, every South must have its North.

North and South are bottled in French glass, with metal caps decorated in geographical coordinates of Scandinavia and Italy. The names of the fragrances are engraved on metal medallions tied on with natural rope. Contrasting colours are used in the coding of the perfumes; cooler North is warmed-up with golden bronze accents while the glowing nostalgia of South is cooled-down with silvered elements.

Editor's Notes

Quotidian comforts - familiar and strange - the mealy smell of chestnuts, the warm milky skin aroma of sandalwood and carrot seed, the wheaten fragrance of wholegrain bread, and linen drying in the sun. South opens with these distinct aromas, nuzzle-worthy warmth, toasted and nourished with sunlight. Strangeness emerges slowly in the surprising yet comforting industrial aroma of dry cleaning - which tilts the scent without undoing its natural sense. It is an unusual freshness: a faintly metallic muskiness, a sweet cleanliness, imprecise flowers. South is a warm and aromatic breath of wind, an inversion of the cool and crisp North.
