CENTRE STAGE

Centre Stage is a unisex fragrance by Thameen London, the British house founded in London in 2013, whose name means “precious” in Arabic, now led by artistic director Christopher Chong. Part of the Britologne collection, which reinterprets classic cologne in a contemporary British key, it is a Cologne Elixir as rich and long-lasting as a perfume. Seductive and theatrical, it is a floral amber with a decadent charm.

The Fragrance

Centre Stage captures the provocative world of 1920s cabarets, where the arrogance of decadent high society meets brazen sensuality. Created by perfumer Bruno Jovanovic under the creative direction of Christopher Chong, it evokes an intoxicating fusion of sensations: the scent of lipstick, the luxurious touch of fur, the enigmatic whispers of smoke. At centre stage, an intense heart of orange blossom brings an opulent sweetness.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is aromatic and elegant: petitgrain, cardamom and lavender raise the curtain with freshness. The floral part takes the stage in the heart, with orange blossom, powdery iris and jasmine. The base is sensual and enveloping: balsamic styrax, a leather accord and amber woods leave a warm, magnetic trail.

Who We Recommend Centre Stage To

We recommend Centre Stage to those who love elegant florals with a leathery, sensual soul, and to anyone who wants a perfume that makes them feel like the star of the show. It is perfect for evenings and special occasions, but with its refinement it also accompanies important days. Unisex, it suits him and her.

Leather is there, as an accord in the base together with styrax and amber woods, but it serves the floral heart: this warm base gives Centre Stage its ambery, sensual character.
