Alexandre-J Art Nouveau Collection

Today, I had the pleasure to attend the presentation - perfectly organised by Aspects Beauty - of the new Alexandre J perfume collection at the Capital Hotel in the heart of London. French perfume label Alexandre J flexes its olfactive prowess to create scents that are truly and exceptionally unique. The collection consists of five perfumes inspired by Art Nouveau and it is exclusive to Harrods.

The idea of literal and emotional masks inspired this sweet fragrance!

Imperial Peacock Eau de Parfum

Imperial Peacock is a woody perfume for men and women. As far as flamboyant animals go, nothing beats the peacock with its decadent tail and stunning form, it’s not surprising that it’s one of the favoured motifs of the Art Nouveau era. With sweet notes of almond, cinnamon and vanilla, this fragrance reflects the magnificence of the peacock in all its glory.


Middle notes: Tonka bean, Cinnamon, Black vanilla

Top notes: Almond, Rhubarb, Heliotrope
