Lovers and Strangers

Lovers and Strangers imagines a fleeting encounter between two people whose chemistry is felt before words are exchanged. Rum and coffee provide warmth, while rose brings a softer expression to the tension and intimacy. Its gourmand character retains a darker colour alongside sweetness.

Rum absolute, prune and tobacco absolute open with rich sweetness and dry depth. Colombian coffee and rose form the heart, placing a roasted, bitter-toned texture beside softer flowers. Madagascar vanilla, sandalwood and patchouli settle into rounded woody warmth.

Choose it when coffee should meet a more intimate mix of fruit and flowers. An evening meal or restrained night-time clothes provide fitting settings, especially when sweetness alone is not the aim.

Maxime Exler created the eau de parfum, released on 2 September 2025. The selected clear 50mL bottle has a thick glass base, a black cylindrical cap and a tall white label.
