About
Majaïna Sin by The Different Company is a Oriental fragrance for women and men. Majaïna Sin was launched in 2017. The nose behind this fragrance is Emilie Coppermann. Top notes are Bitter Orange, Orange Blossom, Ginger, Neroli and Bergamot; middle notes are Chestnut, Cinnamon, Heliotrope and Orchid; base notes are Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Amber and Sandalwood. "I am a delightful tribute to the lands of Madagascar, a bewitching elixir, a sensual Eau de Parfum. I cannot hide the Bergamot and Neroli notes of which I am composed. Along those ingredients, other riches from the fertile soil have inspired me: explosive Cinnamon and mouth watering Ginger. Smelling me will cause a strong dependency, a feeling of belonging…You will love me for my generosity, my overdose of Vanilla, excessive and addictive under warm spices. Unpredictable and transgressive, you will succumb to my temptation." - a note from the brand.

About
Athénaïs by Parfums de Marly is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women. This is a new fragrance. Athénaïs was launched in 2026. Top notes are Neroli, Bergamot and Yuzu; middle notes are Orange Blossom, Jasmine Sambac and Mahonial; base notes are Vanilla, Tonka Bean and Amber. Athénaïs by Parfums de Marly is a floral fragrance for women, inspired by Athénaïs de Montespan, a historical muse of Louis XIV. The composition combines bright citrus and neroli with creamy white florals, creating a modern interpretation of a classic floral profile. The scent features neroli, bergamot and yuzu, leading into orange blossom and sambac jasmine enriched with Mahonial®, a floral note often used to evoke luminous, airy petals. Tonka bean, vanilla and amber form a warm, slightly gourmand base that contrasts with the sparkling opening.
