How to Wear: Our all-natural fragrances wear more intimately than synthetic fragrances. They won’t announce your presence from across the room. Rather, they walk with you like a second skin. Mist generously on pulse points, neck and anywhere else you desire. Depending on body chemistry, No. 9 Parfum will stay on the skin for six to eight hours.

Aroma Benefits: There's more to our fragrances than an enticing scent. Our pure botanical perfumes harness the power of the plants they’re made with, creating an abundance of beneficial energy for the wearer.

Key No. 9 Aroma Benefits — elevating, euphoric, energizing, aphrodisiac, grounding

Tuberose, one of perfumery's most precious florals, is truly in a class by itself. To my nose, its hypnotic scent — at once intoxicating, clean, rich and buttery — is incomparably alluring. Known as the Queen of the Night, this iconic, night-blooming flower has a long-standing reputation as a seductive temptress. In Victorian England, for example, young ladies were not permitted to enter tuberose gardens after dark for fear that the narcotic blooms would rouse their senses and inspire them to indecent behavior (true story!).

In creating No. 9 Parfum, I wanted to merge the raw sexiness of tuberose with an unexpected fresh note that would present the voluptuous flower in a crisp, modern setting. That note turned out to be fir balsam absolute — a sweet, warm, jammy forest essence that plays beautifully with the boldly charismatic tuberose. The mesmerizing floral heart combined with fresh, woody accents creates a magical chypre scent that imparts confidence, radiance and contentment to its wearer.

So why did I call it No. 9? Because when I was developing the fragrance, I composed twelve different iterations of the formula, and then decided that the version I liked best was number nine. — Claudia

Susannah C., Glendale, CA — It's late autumn and you've spent the afternoon at the Met. Stepping outside, you pull on a favorite pair of green leather gloves and lift your coat collar around your neck. Hurrying down Madison Avenue, you catch a whiff of tobacco and step into a florist shop to escape the chill. The heavy glass door opens to warm damp air and the intoxicating scent of white blossoms, fir balsam and moss. No. 9 ... sublime and sophisticated. — 6/5/22

Katie B., Jupiter, FL — In search of perfumes I could wear without getting a headache, I tried Cusani's Discovery Set. So glad I did! These perfumes are luxe, fresh and fabulous. They have sophistication combined with a naturalness that I absolutely love. Great brand for people like me who can't tolerate commercial scents. — 4/7/22
