Antoine et Lili Holy ChampaNew at luckyscent: Holy Champa (bottle shown), a fragrance created by perfumer Marc Buxton for the Parisian chain Antoine & Lili, with notes of neroli, magnolia, nag champa, jasmine, amber, incense and gurjum. Also new: Agatha Pamplemousse, Thé a la Mure (both by perfumer Francis Camail) and Caramel; AromaM Geisha Violet; L'Artisan Safran Troublant; and the Monyette Paris candle.

This year Comme des Garçons will launch two fragrances to tie in with their "Guerilla store" concept. Guerilla 1 will have notes of pear, saffron, cloves, champaca, pepper, vetiver and musk; and Guerilla 2 will feature bergamot, pink and red pepper, raspberry, tuberose, cedar and musk.

    I'm having a hard time imagining “Guerilla 1” but I look forward to trying them both.

    I think of CdG fragrance as performance art … a point is being made, one I don't always understand, but I respect the attempt. And some of them are actually beautiful. Scent sculptures. xoxo

    Geisha Violet?! Oh dear. I am flat-out crazy about the Geishas (except Pink, which is much too sweet for me). I feel a purchase coming on!

    M, so completely agree. I wish one of the Guerilla stores would open near me, they look well worth a visit.

    I adore the packaging, but O-cha is the only one that has worked on me so far. Do you even like the Geisha Green? I had very high hopes for that one but no go!

    I do like Geisha Green! It's so unusual and I am a huge anise/licorice fan. It's not something I could wear every day, however.

    Agree that it is unusual, and I should probably give this whole line another try as its been a long time.

    I really like the Holy Champa – just ordered it, along with my free Coquette Tropique oil (thanks R!) and requested a sample of the Geisha Violet. I have high hopes for it.

    You got a great deal! Let me know how the packaging of that Holy Champa is once you take it out of the pretty carton. And can't wait to hear how the Geisha Violet is…
