A Hidden Gem

A Fragrant Journey through a Timeless Perfume

JAN BARBA, a luxury perfume company, creates fragrances that are masterpieces of scent and art. Their products result from meticulous attention to detail, with each fragrance crafted in small batches in their laboratory. Dedicated to using only the finest natural ingredients, including essential oils and absolutes, these are then stabilized with rosemary extract. JAN BARBA’s first fragrance, Superiore, pays homage to the classic colognes of the past. Inspired by a 1708 description of the creator of the original cologne, Johann Maria Farina, Superiore is a fresh and invigorating scent that is designed to evoke the feeling of a spring morning in Italy. The fragrance is a modern interpretation of the classic cologne, made with a higher concentration of real perfume and crafted exclusively from natural raw materials.

Their newest scent, Gloria, which catches the attention. Inspired, they say, “by the aromatic waters from the times of the Crusades”, this blooming, luminous fragrance features evocative Middle Eastern spices and sweet resinous tincture. With a floral heart and a spicy top note, Gloria is a high and sublime scent that will leave a lasting impression.Insider Pick

Aiyoku was inspired by Alex Kerr's book, Japan Lost, and created to embody the romantic and idealistic scent of Japan. Boasting notes of damp forest, traditional cedar wood, and wetland, the fragrance combines fresh and mature scents of wood and moss reminiscent of a traditional wooden house nestled among tall grasses in a valley.
