AN INTROSPECTIVE, MYSTERIOUS INTERSTELLAR VOYAGE INTO THE NIGHT…
AN AWAKENING JOURNEY
Callisto, “the most beautiful” in ancient Greek; just as Callisto, the virgin nymph, part of Artemis’ sacred
circle of Hamadryades, who was loved by Zeus and cast away… Callisto, or Jupiter IV, the natural
satellite of Jupiter, discovered in 1610 by Galileo…
Powerful, striking and beautiful as its name evokes it. The duality of the meaning of CALLISTO is also
expressed in the composition of this outstanding scent, of balance. A mystical quest linking the clear to
the obscure, an introspective voyage from earth to space. A fragrance that inspires the consciousness of
inner-self, the introspection. A unique powdery-gourmand composition with a perfect unisex character.
The new exquisite scent is composed in collaboration with Master Perfumer Luca MAFFEI –
also the mastermind behind the Award-Winning and Worldwide Best-Seller “NÉA” !
Parfumeur : Luca Maffei
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a fragrance for close, reflective settings where presence matters more than volume: a quiet room, low light, a conversation that lingers. It gives the impression of someone composed and self-possessed, with a soft aura that draws attention through texture rather than brightness.
How to wear
Best in cool to mild weather, Callisto wears beautifully when given a restrained hand. One or two sprays are enough to let the powdery heliotrope, tonka and vanilla unfold gradually on skin; the extrait concentration gives it depth and staying power, with a smooth, enveloping trail rather than sharp projection.
Who it’s for
For lovers of powdery gourmands, soft florals and elegant vanilla compositions with a refined, slightly abstract edge. It will appeal to those who enjoy fragrances that feel plush, intimate and contemplative rather than overtly sweet or loud.

The nose
Luca Maffei is an Italian perfumer known for refined, modern compositions that often balance texture, radiance and sensual depth. His work spans niche and luxury perfumery, and he is especially associated with elegant gourmands and luminous florals that feel polished rather than heavy. For Callisto, Maffei shapes a powdery-gourmand structure around heliotrope, tonka and vanilla, giving the fragrance its soft, enveloping character while preserving the sense of contrast at the heart of the concept: clarity against shadow, earth against space.
Collaborators
Founders Julien Blanchard and Madalina Stoica-Blanchard shaped the creative brief and supervised the project, bringing the house’s storytelling approach and conceptual direction to the composition. Luca Maffei translated that vision into the finished formula, giving Callisto its powdery-gourmand balance and its sense of cosmic duality.
Jul Et Mad’s story
Jul et Mad builds fragrances as personal narratives, with a focus on high concentration, distinctive raw materials and a deliberately unisex, uncompromising style. The house treats perfume as a crafted story rather than a trend object, combining emotional intimacy with a polished niche-luxury finish.
Callisto’s concept
Callisto belongs to Jul et Mad’s Les WHITE collection and draws on a double reference: the mythic nymph loved by Zeus and the moon of Jupiter discovered by Galileo. The fragrance is framed as an introspective voyage between earth and space, using its powdery-gourmand composition to express balance, mystery and inner awakening.
Extra info
Callisto’s name links Greek mythology and astronomy, referring both to the nymph Callisto and to Jupiter’s moon. It is part of Jul et Mad’s Les WHITE line, a collection built around more conceptual, symbolic compositions.
