You will receive a set of ten 1/2ml samples from the BIBBI Paris line. Parisian Stina BIBBI Seger is a desigher with a relentless passion for scent. Born in Sweden, in her early 20s, a fascination with ancient meditation philosophy led her to a radical decision – she spent three years on a remote island, diving deep into her mind and refining her meditation practice. This transformative journey ignited a burning curiosity about the link between spirituality, meditation and the human body. Determined to understand more, she studied anatomy and physiology at university, where she uncovered the powerful, often overlooked impact of scent on the mind and body. This revelation sent her on an ongoing quest to decode the subconscious – one fragrance at a time. BIBBI, a groundbreaking luxury fragrance brand. Founded by Swedish-born creative designer Stina Bibbi Seger, BIBBI invites you to embark on an unparalleled olfactory adventure, a journey into the depths of the subconscious. BIBBI takes you on a blue-coloured, scented journey into the subconscious mind of founder, Stina “Bibbi” Seger. Each scent is inspired by stories and ‘dreamlike’ encounters she had while meditating. What sets BIBBI apart is its inspiration drawn from Stina Bibbi Seger’s meditative, subconscious state of mind. The fragrances are not merely scents; they are narratives, stories woven from the threads of her inner world. These imaginative, unisex scents invite everyone to partake in the brand’s unique journey into the subconscious. ”Inspired by the tales and meetings in my meditative state, BIBBI is a canvas for expressing the intangible,” says Stina Bibbi Seger. ”Our fragrances are bridges to the inner self, inviting you to discover the unforgettable.” BIBBI is a French company.
You will receive a 1/2ml sample (a perfume vial filled half full) of each of the fragrances below:
- The Other Room - I once attended an exclusive masked ball in Paris. All formalities were suspended for a few hours. The rich and famous (and infamous) danced, flirted and arranged dates until dawn. Social hierarchy and gender rules were obliterated and forgotten. Everyone was in the here and now, disguised as whoever they wanted to be. And only some of us were invited — to The Other Room… A fascinating composition of clove, saffron, patchouli and vetiver gives The Other Room a mysterious and sophisticated aura that invites you to discover well-kept secrets. With top notes of ginger, black currant and lime; middle notes of carnation, davana and saffron; and base notes of patchouli, vetiver and labdanum (rockrose).
- Rainbow Rose - While meditating in the Vatican early one morning, I had a vision. The morning sun hit one of the prisms in the old side windows and a rainbow appeared and crossed the room. At the end of the rainbow I found a book with a red rose embroidered on the spine. When I opened the book, a divine scent of roses filled the room. I read the first page and understood that the world was not yet ready for the content. With top notes of freesia and magnolia; middle notes of Provence rose and musk; and base notes of Ambroxan, cashmere wood and iris.
- Radio Child - This story is about a child who lived in Vienna at the end of the 18th century. Nobody knew whether he was a boy or a girl, and nobody knew his parents. The child was an exceptional piano player and took private music lessons from Beethoven. One day, Beethoven went out of the room to get a cup of wine and the child vanished into thin air! Every year on the day of the child's disappearance, all the radios in Vienna play Piano Sonata No. 14, the Moonlight Sonata. With a top notes of black pepper; middle notes of jasmine and fig leaves; and base notes of cashmerewood, oakmoss, salty notes and musk.
- Boy of June - I used to love dreaming about him. That energy and that scent that visited me in my dreams. For a long time, there was nothing else. But then, one summer night in Copenhagen, we were there. We gave each other our hearts, which already belonged to each other. So this perfume is a dedication to my husband, who was born in June. I wanted to create my own version of the fragrance he used to wear when we first met. A true love affair between bergamot and patchouli makes this fragrance a timeless yet personal classic. The top notes of bergamot, black pepper and lemon give it a refreshing vibrancy, while the heart notes of geranium, incense and green apple create a captivating depth.

- Swimming Pool - Somewhere in the south of Italy, there is a natural swimming pool that is said to have healing powers, surrounded by herbs and with a marvellous basil scent in the water and air. When swimming in this pool, you completely forget time and space. The water forces you to relive the darkest hours and the brightest moments of your life. After swimming in the pool, you are forever changed and have an intense basil scent on you that stays on your skin forever. With top notes of ginger, basil and peppermint; middle notes of eucalyptus and geranium; and base notes of ambergris, grass and woods.
- Ghost of Tom - In some circles, it is known that around 2% of the world’s population is invisible beings amongst us. For an unchosen human, they are unfortunately invisible, made of matter, not from this world. The only way to sense their presence is through their addictive, smoky tea-like scent. Hence, they are commonly known as the “Ghosts of Tom”. With top notes of bergamot, paraguay tea and black currant; middle notes of black tea and violet leaves; and base notes of birch, ambergris and papyrus.
- Pistachio Game - The Pistachio Game is an ancient game from the former Persian empire. It was a game between kings and queens and included Arabian horses and a carefully maintained pistachio tree, said to have immortal qualities. No one really remembers the rules, but the winner conquered the loser’s horse and country, but most importantly, the precious pistachio tree. A smoky vetiver fragrance with a refreshing note with the aromas of kumquat and eucalyptus in the top note. The heart notes of apple blossom, violet, incense and pistachio give this fragrance a unique freshness.

With top notes of kumquat and eucalyptus; middle notes of floral notes, apple, violet and frankincense; and base notes of vetiver, smoky notes, sandalwood, leather and coffee.
- Santal Beauty - I met her in the Paris metro at the end of 2010. Her eyes were a captivating blue and her voice was deep yet soft, like a cat's purr. She wore a red velvet dress and smelled of the most beautiful sandalwood. She didn't say much, but she smiled at me and whispered: “vivre”, and we both understood. Our hands touched briefly and then she left. It was as if I had never met her, and yet it was one of the most intense moments of my life. I will never forget her — my Santal Beauty. An enchanting fragrance that begins with Italian lemons and saffron in the top notes. The heart notes of violet, magnolia and bamboo are perfectly balanced, while the base of sandalwood from New Caledonia, light woods and clear amber create a sensual finish. Immerse yourself in the beauty of Santal. With top notes of lemon and saffron; middle notes of violet, magnolia and bamboo; and base notes of sandalwood, woods and ambergris.
- Iris Wallpaper - Giuseppe Verdi’s muse Giuseppina Strepponi died in 1897. Her absolute favourite flower was the iris. The story says that Verdi was so devastated when she died that he got into some ecstasy and decorated the whole Casa Verdi with irises. In Strepponi’s room, you couldn’t find one single spot left on the wall without iris. Still, to this day, you can scent the whiff of the iris in the house. With top notes of peach and carrot; middle notes of iris and peony; and base notes of vanilla and leather.
- Soap Club - There is a club called the Soap Club. The club is not easy to find; you must arrive on the exact day and hour, enter a hotel that only shows up at this time, and finally, find the golden door at the end of the hallway. You will only be let in with the right energy and an open mind. Inside the club, the air is thick with an addictive scent of soapy leather. You will see things you won't believe and experience emotions you didn't know existed. A bold and exciting fragrance combining soapy and leathery tones, just like the perfect club. With top notes of white leather and vanilla orchid; middle notes of jasmine petals and mimosa; and base notes of creamy sandalwood, white musk and tonka beans.
