RakesSENSE is the UK’s only contemporary luxury perfume magazine featuring 284-pages of beautiful photography and fragrance inspiration.

We approach the subject of FRAGRANCE & BEAUTY from a fresh perspective, through the eyes of fashion and art photographers, designers, writers and journalists, many of whom work for our sister publication Rakesprogress.

In issue #5, we speak to Aurilien Guichard who returned to his roots on his family farm in Grasse to grow raw ingredients for his fragrance brand Matiere Premiere. He speaks about the olfactory depth of a homegrown rose and how celebrating natural ingredients comes with a responsibility to support the people who grow them.

Elsewhere in the issue we talk to Aqua di Parma about the mandarin harvest in Sicily, visit Cloon Keen in Ireland to learn how to bottle the essence of Galway, and meet Marc Antoine Barrios to discover how a friendship made a best-selling fragrance.

Plus: we meet Gregorio Sola, the man at Puig who has created perfumes to bring the smell of Pre-Raphaelite paintings alive in a new exhibition. And so much more.

With the highest production values and a carefully curated aesthetic, every issue of this limited-edition magazine is collectable.
