Jeroboam - Eliksiro - niche perfume
Since the dawn of humanity, mankind has sought the ultimate recipe, the love potion, the elixir. Eliksiro is Jeroboam's answer: an oriental woody extrait de parfum conceived as a true magic potion, at once captivating, inspiring and profoundly intriguing. A fragrance that does not merely seduce; it bewitches, it compels, it endures.
The opening is juicy and vivid, like the first movement of an alchemical formula awakening: Mandarin delivers a bright, fruited freshness, while Guaiac Wood immediately introduces a lightly smoky, resinous woody dimension that anchors the composition in its future depth. Saffron signs this opening with a golden, lightly leathery spiced warmth : an introduction that promises, from the very first breath, that this fragrance will resemble nothing else.

“A radiant mandarin with vivid, juicy freshness marries sparkling pink pepper. Gradually, creamy guaiac wood reveals a heart of jasmine and deep, dark sacred oud, while patchouli settles alongside velvety, gourmand raspberry. Musks bind every note in a soft, lingering harmony. The key to this fragrance is the leather, enveloping this contrasting scent as it oscillates between fruity freshness, carnal florals, and sensual shadow. A spirit of free elegance." - Vanina Muracciole, perfumer
At the heart, the alchemy fully unfolds. Oud deploys its dark, animalic depth; Leather adds a carnal, sophisticated dimension. Jasmine introduces a bewitching floral sensuality, while Rose contributes a rich, powdery preciousness. Cardamom weaves between these materials an aromatic, lightly camphorous thread of great nobility; Pink Peppercorn animates the accord with a fruited, spiced vivacity. Ozone, finally, opens this dense heart with a crystalline, aerial breath.
At the base, Eliksiro reveals the full breadth of its formula. Patchouli fuses with velvety Raspberry to create a dark gourmand accord of rare sophistication. Sandalwood radiates its creamy, enveloping warmth; Ambery Woods add a deep, resinous heat; Vanilla a quiet, profound sweetness. White Musks sign this base with a luminous, persistent second-skin aura. The sillage of an elixir one no longer seeks to explain, only to feel.

Jéroboam is a French niche brand founded in 2015 by François Hénin. The founder of the Jovoy perfumes and boutiques as well. Jéroboam represents a dynamic fusion of tradition and modernism – ´perfume extracts for urban nomads´ as the brand says. The ´nose´ of Jéroboam is the famous perfumer Vanina Muracciole.
In the beginning there was Origino
Origino is a base composed of a cocktail of musks, invented by the independent perfumer Vanina Muracciole. This ´ball of musks´ concentrated into a perfume extract marks nothing less than a new beginning: for François Hénin it is the origin for creating a new olfactory universe: „What was nothing more than a creative olfactory exploration, a game between Vanina and me, led to the genesis of a completely new brand.“ Very quickly, the pieces of the puzzle fell into place, at first it was similar to a word game, in the form of advertising slogans.
Major parfums don´t need big bottles
A 30 ml flacon of perfume was named after a six-liter bottle of wine ´Jeroboam´ and so the all brand. This is exactly the kind of contrast François Hénin favors. Origino and the other perfumes inspired by it are so singular and intense that they needed a bottle that measured up to the project. This name came naturally, it just simply fits.
Perfume is a weapon for those who know how to use it
For François Hénin, the decision to offer perfume in its most potent concentration – its purest expression – came naturally. There is something noble about an extract: it is taylor-made to leave a memorable impression in its wake. This makes it the ideal concentration for those possessed of a flirtatious, provocative nature and strong character - they understand that perfume is a weapon.
Perfume extracts for urban nomads
The Jéroboam perfumes were designed to be universal. Therefore, it was only natural to christen Origino and Jéroboam fragrances with a word drawn from Esperanto, a language invented at the end of the 19th century with the intent of creating a universal tongue. While the small bottle makes an ideal everyday accessory for the urban nomads we´ve all become, the perfumes themselves are international language in the art of seduction. They remind us that, sometimes, fragrance is infinitely more efficient than words.
