New from Theodoros Kalotinis: Matcha Ice Cream and Peach Macaron
I am delighted to explore the world of Theodoros Kalotinis Perfumer, a Greek artisan brand founded by the talented Kalotinis at the age of 25 in 2014.

Unisex and unique, it’s my go-to for a refreshing, joyful vibe that blends tradition and modernity.
Peach Macaron Theodoros Kalotinis is pure patisserie bliss on my skin. It bursts open with juicy peach and caramelized burnt sugar, whisking me to a lively Parisian bakery.
