Côte d’Azur ~ the brand's signature hair-care fragrance; a citrus floral with lemon, plum, black currant, bergamot, orange, tuberose, cyclamen, butterfly jasmine, sandalwood, vetiver and amber.
Silver Pearl ~ a green fougère with bergamot, green fig, mint, geranium, lavender, bamboo accord, water lily, black amber, violet and leather accord.
Oribe Côte d’Azur and Silver Pearl will be available in 50 ml Eau de Parfum, $85 each.

Hmm. I use Oribe products a lot and they do smell good………I’m actually pretty intrigued. Especially by the Silver Pearl one……bamboo, fig, water lily and leather? This can be amazing or go completely horribly wrong. Sounds like a fun time!
Doubt I’ll ever see it, but I’ll try anything with fig 🙂
I wonder if they gonna be released worldwide or US only.
WWD says it will be at “1,400 salons” … guessing if you have a local salon that sells Oribe products, they’ll have it (?)
Hopefully 🙂 They sound really interesting 🙂
Cool, their “dry texturizing spray” remains my most-complimented fragrance product 😛 so I’m curious to smell this! (Although, I’m not sure I’d need a bottle–sorta feel like the hair products satisfy the degree to which I’d like to have this scent in rotation. Am guessing, though, that they’ll have plenty of clients who want to make this their signature scent.)
FWIW, unless the signature perfume has change substantially from the hair line, “citrus floral” reflects more the marketing department than the scent! Sounds like maybe they worried “fruity floral” didn’t sound so chic.
This all does make me curious to know how the fragrance for the hair products got designed in the first place…
Usually by the same fragrance & flavor companies that do personal fragrance…these two were done by Robertet, possible they did the hair scents too but I don’t know.
Right… it’s just curious, since Epinette and Wulff signed this one, what does that mean in relation to making a perfume version of a pre-existing scent product? Did one or both of them play a role in the scent for the hair product? I mean, these are mostly idle questions, I suspect we won’t really find out, but it’s just a curious thing to me, this business of attribution…
I do like the inkwell-style bottle designs.
