Room 1015 fragrance collection

Fragrance families offer a starting point, not a set of rules. Follow the character you enjoy, then explore its variations.

Floral and musky

Rose, jasmine and iris can lead in very different directions. Musky compositions often add a softer, skin-like impression. Our Floral & Musky selection brings these expressions together without suggesting they are interchangeable.

Woody and aromatic

Sandalwood, cedar and vetiver bring texture and structure; herbs and aromatic notes can add a fresher edge. A woody fragrance may be dry, creamy or smoky depending on the composition.

Resinous and gourmand

Amber-like warmth, balsamic notes, vanilla and food-inspired accords sit in this part of the collection. Gourmand does not always mean very sweet: contrast from woods or spice can change the effect.

Fruity and aquatic

Fruit, citrus and water-inspired accords can suggest brightness, juiciness or an airy sense of space. These are directions to investigate, not guarantees of how long a fragrance will last.

Let the boundaries blur

A fragrance may belong to several families. Use the coloured collection filters to narrow your exploration, then let the individual notes guide the next step.
