Eau de Parfum
SENSUAL • BOLD • SEDUCTIVE
For me, the 1980s evoke images of bold fashion with wide shoulder pads, mullets, upbeat synth music, and neon-hued interiors. This decade was brimming with energy, confidence, and unwavering optimism, which inspired me to create Ultra.
At the heart of Ultra, narcissus shines. Its rich and vibrant character brings to life the vibrant spirit of the 1980s.
At the same time, the flower's name and its intoxicating, narcotic aroma also evoke a darker side, recalling the Greek myth of Narcissus—a warning that the hedonists of that decade likely ignored...
Did you know?
Absolutes are typically extracted using synthetic solvents. However, the narcissus absolute in Ultra is extracted using a 100% bio-based and biodegradable solvent—a first of its kind. To date, very few absolutes are produced using this method. In all cases, no solvent remains in the final product.
Narcissus absolute is extremely expensive: its current price reaches €15,000 per kilo. Because of this high cost, it is rare for perfumes to contain genuine narcissus absolute.

Key materials
– NARCISSUS ABSOLUTE has a rich and captivating fragrance, with a fresh, green top note, accompanied by nuances of tobacco and hay. Very powerful and long-lasting, a little goes a long way.
This absolute is produced from flowers harvested in Lozère, France, and extracted using a 100% bio-sourced and biodegradable solvent—a first of its kind.
– YLANG-YLANG OIL gives off an exotic and floral fragrance, with delicate fruity nuances.
Native to the Philippines, the ylang-ylang tree is now mainly cultivated in Madagascar.
The ylang-ylang used in Ultra comes from the Comoros, where the flowers are harvested and processed into essential oil under ethical, sustainable and fully traceable conditions.
– LABDANUM RESINOID is an amber note, both balsamic and resinous, with slightly smoky, leathery and animal facets.
Labdanum brings warmth and richness, while also being an excellent natural fixative. This shrub grows wild in many parts of the Mediterranean basin. Today, the majority of labdanum is harvested in southern Spain. During the summer months, the shrub secretes a gum to protect itself from the intense heat, which is then distilled to produce the resinoid.
