Soleil d'Hiver

A winter sun low on the horizon — pale gold, cold air, skin that still holds warmth.

This is what it feels like to step outside on a bright January afternoon, the kind where the cold is crisp but the light is almost generous. It begins with the sharp bite of cardamom and pink peppercorn, the kind of spice that tingles without burning, lit up and airy. Then comes Moroccan rose — full, velvety, a little powdery — softened by the earthy, slightly smoky drift of oolong tea. The two settle into each other slowly, like warmth returning to cold hands. Underneath, sandalwood smooths everything into a creamy, resinous calm, while leather and tobacco add a dry, nostalgic depth — aged paper, a wool coat, something quietly smouldering. It wears close and warm, unhurried.

Experimental Perfume Club is a London-based fragrance house and open-access perfume laboratory founded by French perfumer Emmanuelle Moeglin, who trained at the renowned ISIPCA perfume school in France.

Imagined as a way to demystify fine perfumery, the brand creates unisex, vegan and cruelty-free eaux de parfum designed either to be worn alone or artfully blended, inviting wearers to compose their own signature scent from its Essential and Signature Blends collections.

Its perfumes are imagined in London and crafted in France using ingredients sourced from Grasse, and the company is certified as a B Corporation, reflecting a commitment to eco-conscious practices and refillable, low-plastic packaging.
