The Moment

Trouble in Paradise opens with mango, realistic, ripe, unapologetically tropical. The cognac and rum smooth everything out, giving it a boozy warmth that feels indulgent without tipping into excess. There's caramel and a touch of leather underneath, adding depth as it settles.

This is the kind of fragrance that puts you somewhere else. A tiki bar at golden hour, drinks with friends, nowhere to be and no reason to rush. It's fun, easy to wear, and genuinely hard to put down.

Works any time of year but feels most at home in summer. Suits everyone, all genders, all ages, all occasions. If you want something that makes you feel good without overthinking it, this is the one.

The House

Founded in London in 2021 by two British fragrance obsessives, Akbar Hayat Khan and Ahmed Abdul Qadir.

Every fragrance is built around a real location they have visited and wherever possible the ingredients are sourced from that exact place. The past, the present and the future all play a role.

Trouble in Paradise is not just a name. It is a memory waiting to be made.
