LM Parfums has released a new fragrance called Ultimate Seduction. It is an Extrait de Parfum that became available on April 30th in Europe, and which should soon be available in the U.S. as well.

I thought I’d share some of the information and photos released by LM Parfums. First, Ultimate Seduction has the following perfume pyramid:

TOP NOTES: Pink pepper, black currant, orange
HEART NOTES: Violet, iris, rose
BASE NOTES: patchouli, amber, blond wood, cedar, praline.

LM Parfums also has a mini-video film to go along with Ultimate Seduction:

As noted earlier, Ultimate Seduction is a pure parfum, and it comes in a 100 ml bottle that costs €195. Osswald in New York should be getting the fragrance in a few weeks, and I think they may price it at $225, in line with Sensual Orchid.

I have been sent a sample of Ultimate Seduction which I’ve been testing, and I will post a review in a few days. I’m first waiting to hear back from the company with regard to the name of the perfumer who worked with Laurent Mazzone on the fragrance, and, much more importantly, whether the perfume has been tweaked or refined from the “Lost Paradise” version that Laurent Mazzone let me try 8 months ago in Paris. I detect distinct differences, especially at the top of the fragrance and in its opening, but they may well be just an issue of memory. After all, that was a rather crazy day, all in all, and involved a lot of perfume testing. For all I know, my memory is playing tricks on me with regard to the finer points. I will say, however, that I like the possibly finalized Ultimate Seduction more than the “Lost Paradise” version that I tried that day, though neither scent evokes obsession, seduction, and madness in my mind. Then again, very few fragrances do.

DETAILS:

Cost & Availability: As noted above, Ultimate Seduction is an extrait that comes in a 100 ml bottle for €195. In the U.S.: Osswald NY should get the perfume in a few weeks. You can check their LM Parfums page at that point to see if Ultimate Seduction has arrived in store.

Outside the U.S.: Ultimate Seduction is currently available from a few European vendors, with more to follow shortly. At this time, you can buy Ultimate Seduction directly from LM Parfums and Laurent Mazzone’s separate perfume retailer, Premiere Avenue, which currently has a 10% off code for the fragrance until May 20th. The same 10% discount also applies to the 5 ml decant sample of Ultimate Seduction which is normally priced at €19. In terms of other retailers, Ultimate Seduction is currently available at First in Fragrance (which is also selling a sample, though perhaps smaller in size) and Paris’ Jovoy. In the U.K., Harvey Nichols is the exclusive distributor of LM Parfums, but I don’t see Ultimate Seduction listed on their page at this time. In the Netherlands, you can find Ultimate Seduction at ParfuMaria. The LM Parfums line is also available at Essenza Nobile, the Netherland’s Silks Cosmetics, and Italy’s Alla Violetta. In the Middle East, I found most of the LM Parfums line at the UAE’s Souq perfume site. For all other countries, you can find a vendor near you from Switzerland to Belgium, Lithuania, Russia, Romania, Croatia, Azerbaijan, and more, by using the LM Parfums Partner listing. Laurent Mazzone or LM Parfums fragrances are widely available throughout Europe, and some of those sites sell samples as well.
