Boca do Lobo newest Limited Edition piece a safe-box that promptly takes us to scenes strongly creased in our memory, deeply enriched by today’s visual culture. This piece reputes a long life! Born in the beginning of the 19th century, followed the increase of bank robberies after the Gold Rush of 1849 and kept itself sacred to successive break-in attempts, remaining deformed forever. Lockable drawers and a whole structure in mahogany, coated in highly polished brass and dipped in gold, this piece is one of indisputable value. As safe and secure as its owner holds secrets to be unveiled only by time itself.

Kurkdjian, who is famed for his custom scents and olfactory installations including the Garden of Versailles and Grand Palais in Paris, attempts to capture the mood of the ocean and create the perfect home perfume to set sail with. Combining notes of leather, wood and ocean spray, Kurkdjian has utilised Indonesian cinnamon, Brazilian tonka and Spanish cistus finished with vetiver and patchouli, to create a heady yet homely scent evocative of all the luxury and freedom of a superyacht.

The MCY 105 fragrance, says Kurkdjian, is designed to enhance the excitement and possibility of buying a new superyacht, while dispelling the ‘new boat’ smell that may prevent new owners from feeling at home. If you’re tempted by the new launch (or new fragrance) the MCY 105 yacht will make its debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September.
