This scent story is set in a palazzo in Venice, home to Cassanova - the most famous libertine of all time. Lacking in moral principles, a sense of responsibility or sexual restraint - dare you be in his presence?

Dusky dark rose soaked in cognac and bitter orange flower, teased with soft worn leather, hot wax, spicy cumin, deep saffron and held down by amber and dark woods. Not for the faint of heart, but for the bold of spirit.

Have a look at Libertine's contradicting paired scent, Virtuous. Each pair is harmoniously crafted so that each highlights and subdues certain qualities of the other to create a unique third or fourth scent depending on which way round you layer.

Extrait De Parfum, 20% Oil Concentrate. Cruelty free and ecologically responsible.

 Contradictions in ILK Perfume | Scent City

Contradictions In ILK Perfumes. A brave, expressive, personal perfume experience.

A brand that want to inspire others to use their perfume to experience significant moments more deeply, to capture vivid emotions, and to help tell stories by engaging all the senses. Perfume doesn't have to be a Christmas gift, a huge bottle you tire of before you reach the end, a footnote in your beauty regime. It can and should be more - express yourself with scent.

Ilk is an old Scottish word with varied interpretations over the centuries, our interpretation is ‘the essence of who you are’. So Contradictions in ILK, is referring to the contradictions in who we are; which is exactly what we wish to celebrate with our collection of layer able scents inspired by human nature.

Holly has 10 years experience behind the scenes of both fragrance production and development, as well as a keen appreciation for the customer experience.

The concept of Ilk was defined during her time as a Psychology major where she explored human nature, memory, and identity. After spending 8 years in advertising working with leading creative agencies to help renowned global brands define themselves - it was time to make the dream a reality and design, create and define her own. Finding a partner in Holly support this was the icing on the cake
