Volupté is a great little perfume with an amazing bottle and a gentle personality that is both comforting and enveloping, while conveying also a muted sensuality. Oh, sorry, I'm using the wrong verb tense. It was... Not anymore. Back in 2022 I wrote a review based on a vintage bottle of Volupté. You can read it HERE. At the time, the information I had gathered lead me to believe it had been discontinued.

The Harmonist first presented Florae Nebulaeat this year's Esxence show in Milan as a follow-up to 2024's Oud Nebulae from the Yang Collection. First debuting as a Harrods exclusive in April, the celestial-inspired scent will see a wider global release this September 2025. Florae Nebulae is a radiant composition that channels the elegance of flowers and the mystery of the cosmos.

The most obvious answer comes from the common sense of convenience – they are intuitive, work with all fragrance concentrations, and largely do exactly what you ask them to do.

Firstly, and most obviously, Acne Studios contains references to historic scent structures of elite society (early 20th-century aldehydic florals) and pairs that with prototypes from domestic mundanity (detergent, bar soap, shampoo).
