Fragrance Overview

Chypre Fruity scent - Women fragrance

Bertrand Duchaufour has achieved a completely original creation here, whose sumptuousness is perhaps overshadowing its delicious side. Like a fabric, a rich velvet or an antique embroidered silk, but also, in a completely different register, like a grandmother's dessert, a nostalgic evocation of lost paradises but also a true pleasure that can be worn on a daily basis.
Bertrand Duchaufour explores a rarely taken path here, starting with transparent and delicate pear accords to combine them with one of the most beautiful raw materials: osmanthus. Pear accord, osmanthus, licorice wood (the licorice wood accord coming from the presence of woody notes), moss, myrrh associated with certain base components characteristic of the licorice note for this floral fruity woody chypre.
