Early June, during Esxence, a new perfume that sparks conversation was introduced – Talisman, the result of a collaboration between Welton and Chris Collins. A meeting of two creative worlds proves that, in niche perfumery, partnership can be just as inspiring as individual vision.

Last September, a new perfume brand quietly appeared on the London scene: Ataratma. The name itself means “the essence of the self,” and that already tells you a lot about what they aim to do. The brand is built around the idea that scent can support emotional balance.
