Rare and exceptional — these are the words best used to describe The Different Company. Every one of TDC’s fragrances are contemporary and unique, each containing ingredients so rare and precious they’re seldom seen in perfumery on any sort of scale. Uncompromising in its dedication to luxurious ingredients (no matter what the cost) and unencumbered by what came before, TDC is already making history as a modern perfumery dedicated to true opulence and luxury of the senses. You’ll find each one of these perfumes to be nothing short of glorious.

Imagine sweet spicy notes, the freshness of an oasis and the sensuality of an Oriental silk. Imagine a pure and precious skin perfume, an invite to pleasure, an olfactive caress. Imagine, these sensations in an enveloping fragrance, while you discover Oriental Lounge, without any doubts the most sensual fragrance ever created by Céline Ellena.

The Different Company takes on the oriental family with a double twist, ditching the traditional vanilla and adding a novel material to the blend: calopilé, aka curry leaf. But fear not: in Ms Ellena’s own words, calopilé is “raspy and green, metallic and warm”. Bergamot adds a touch of shimmering freshness to the creamy amber and tonka bean accord while red rose oddly pulls the scent towards a slightly more masculine register, anchored by a sandalwood-type base. Oriental Lounge has the heft, lushness, and languor of an oriental. As easy to slip on as a beloved cashmere sweater on bare skin, as sensuous as lounging on a heap of silk pillows. Though not necessarily by yourself.
