Inspirations

Under a blazing sun, the sea rumbles and shimmers. The salty wind whips the waves, stirring up the foam. On the surface, a translucent silhouette drifts—the Portuguese Man O' War. Beautiful and dangerous, almost unreal.
Its tentacles stretch through the water like a slow dance, both inviting and threatening.

The fragrance opens with a sharp bite: tangy ginger, metallic powder, a burning sparkle on the skin. Then the sea catches its breath.
A current of salt, algae, immortelle and geranium carries you towards strange depths, both mineral and luminous.
It is a sensory journey between tension and abandonment—the suspended moment when beauty becomes dangerous, and we allow ourselves to be captivated in spite of ourselves.
Portuguese Man O' War evokes the sea in all its power: hypnotic, merciless, sublime.

A fragrance for those who seek beauty in the unexpected, and freedom in vertigo.

The perfumer: Antoine Lie

Originally from Strasbourg, Antoine Lie is a French perfumer renowned for his bold and instinctive approach to olfactory creation. Trained in Grasse under Jean Carles and Jean Guichard, he first created international hits such as Armani Code and Versace Crystal Noir before forging his own path into niche perfumery.

Seeking total freedom of expression, he has collaborated with avant-garde houses such as État Libre d'Orange, oneofthose and Nu_be, exploring raw and contrasting materials – vetiver, leather, iris, metal, ether – to compose powerful and singular creations.

Now at the helm of his ALOE (Antoine Lie Olfactive Experience) studio in Paris, he creates bespoke fragrances and designs unique olfactory identities. A visionary and passionate artist, Antoine Lie continually pushes the boundaries of perfume, combining intuition, research, and pure emotion.
