Amaffi understands the allure of perfume in a way that transcends convention. Scent takes center stage here, encased in exquisite glass flacons that are objets d’art in their own right. And their latest creation, Chantage, is an exceptionally charming accomplice in a game of seduction. Designed for the goddess who wields perfume as her signature weapon of choice, the confident scent is carefully created by master perfumer Azzi Glasser with notes of frangipani, osmanthus, and oud. A renowned British perfumer who counts the likes of Jude Law and Austin Butler as fans, Glasser has over three decades of experience in the industry, and her expertise lies in transforming ideas into enchanting scents.
“When creating Chantage, I wanted to build in magnetic notes that soon become addictive to the wearer and enhance their own DNA whilst on the skin,” Glasser reveals. “Amaffi Chantage has this amazing, magnetic quality to it, and a magical feeling that ensures the wearer will receive many compliments when wearing it.”
“It has this amazing magnetic quality to it. Chantage compels you to surrender to its hypnotic effect,” she adds.
On first spritz, the floral sweetness of frangipani curls into being, followed by the elegant lightness of osmanthus. Then comes the kicker—notes of oud create an intoxicating contrast with an unforgettable sillage that leaves those around the wearer wanting more. The Marilyn Monroe of Amaffi’s perfume lineup, it elevates the wearer’s aura to one of power, provocation, and sophistication.
The beguiling scent is best personified by the oval insert on its flacon—an alluring silhouette of a woman’s legs, dressed in slinky black stockings and red stiletto heels, coming to life in a dazzling array of delicate Swarovski crystals. Crowned with a magnificent red crystal, the lid slides seamlessly into place with the help of an internal magnet. Bold, irresistible, and infinitely precious, it’s hard not to be charmed by its hypnotic scent.
But what truly sets Amaffi Chantage and indeed its collection of perfumes apart is in the craftsmanship of its scents. The juice in those crystal cases are made with only natural ingredients, resulting in the richest of scents with an unrivaled longevity. Each vessel is meticulously decorated by hand and meant to last forever. It’s perfume at its purest—and for all the reasons above, the hefty price tag is perhaps, absolutely justified.
