Ensar Oud
EO2 Tonkin
EO2 Tonkin s'ouvre sur une collision vive, presque électrique, de poivre du Sichuan et de cumin, avant de se poser dans quelque chose de plus ancien et d'animal : un parfum construit autour des matières premières en voie de disparition de la parfumerie classique, musc de Tonkin, castoreum et oud de Nouvelle-Guinée, tissés à travers une rose otto géorgienne et de la cire d'abeille.
Le Nez
Une composition Ensar Oud de la maison artisanale de bois d'agar, où Ensar Oud officie comme directeur de création et collabore avec des maîtres distillateurs pour élaborer des huiles d'oud et de musc d'origine unique selon ses spécifications.
Épicé
chaleur qui pique le nez
Une chaleur âcre et poivrée de poivre noir, de cardamome et de piment rouge sec qui pique et picote. Elle apporte de l'énergie et du mordant, le crépitement d'un étal d'épices, vive et affirmée, élevant la température de tout ce qui l'entoure.
Boisé
grain sec du bois fraîchement coupé
L'odeur des copeaux de cèdre, du santal et des racines sèches de vétiver, une chaleur poncée et résineuse au léger râpé de plumier. Ancré et posé, c'est l'épine dorsale tranquille qui rend un parfum sérieux et durable.
Animal
peau tiède, musc et puissance
Une moiteur musquée à température de corps qui évoque la peau, les cheveux et la fourrure, tantôt douce et poudrée, tantôt vive et presque sauvage. Primale et intime, elle estompe la frontière entre le parfum et celle ou celui qui le porte.
Musc
peau tiède, douce et qui s'attache
Une chaleur douce et charnelle qui sent le propre et un peu la poudre, comme des bras nus chauffés au soleil ou du linge à peine séché. Elle vibre bas et au plus près, arrondit les notes plus vives et laisse un sillage discret et intime, presque comme votre propre peau amplifiée.
Poivre de Sichuan
Bright citrus spice with a tingling edge
What it is
The dried reddish husk of berries from Zanthoxylum trees, members of the citrus family Rutaceae, not true peppercorns. Aroma materials come from the husk via steam distillation or supercritical CO2 extraction, the latter preserving the delicate citrus-spice balance and leaving no solvent residue.
How it smells
Sparkling and pungent, opening with grapefruit-like citrus zest over warm rosy spice. Linalool and limonene give a bright floral-woody lift, with metallic, faintly vetiver undertones. The whole husk triggers tongue-tingling numbness in food, but the perfumery extract reads mainly as zesty, peppery brightness.
In perfumery
A top-to-heart spice adding fizz, lift and a modern peppery sparkle to fougeres, woods and amber accords, pairing with citrus, rose, vetiver and incense. It supplies the bright spicy opening to many contemporary masculine and unisex compositions across major houses.
Good to know
The tongue-tingling buzz comes from hydroxy-alpha-sanshool, which excites the skin's light-touch RA1 nerve fibres at roughly fifty hertz, registering as a genuine vibration. Botanically the plant sits in the citrus family, sharing more lineage with lemon trees than with black pepper.
Poivre Rose
Bright rosy berries with a sparkling spice fizz
What it is
Pink pepper is the dried berry of the Peruvian pepper tree Schinus molle, native to the Andes and a member of the cashew family Anacardiaceae, not a true pepper. The rose-colored berries are steam-distilled or CO2-extracted into an oil dominated by alpha-phellandrene, limonene and pinene.
How it smells
Bright, dry and sparkling, more rosy and fruity than black pepper, with only a soft prickle of spice. Crushed-berry, juniper-like resin and faint citrus facets give a fizzy, airy lift. It flashes peppery on top, then fades quickly into a gentle warm spiciness.
In perfumery
A favoured top-to-heart note that adds effervescent spice and a rosy glow without heat or bite. It brightens florals, freshens woods and ambers, and pairs with rose, bergamot and patchouli. Its sparkle opens many modern scents, notably the tea-and-bergamot top of bright fruity-floral bombs.
Good to know
Despite the name, these berries are botanically unrelated to true pepper, Piper nigrum; the resemblance is purely aromatic. As an Anacardiaceae cousin of cashew and mango, Schinus can trigger reactions in people sensitive to that family, so culinary use of the berries is best in moderation.
Cèdre
Dry sharpened pencils and sun-warmed timber
What it is
Cedar in perfumery comes mainly from the heartwood of Atlas cedar (Cedrus atlantica) and, more commonly, the aromatically similar Virginia and Texas "cedars" of the Juniperus genus. Wood chips and sawmill shavings are steam-distilled into an oil rich in cedrol and cedrene, the molecules carrying the scent.
How it smells
Dry, woody and resinous, recalling freshly sharpened pencils and cedar-lined closets. Atlas cedar leans warm, smoky and balsamic; Virginia cedar reads sharper and cleaner. It opens crisp and pencil-like, then settles into a soft, sawdust-warm, faintly sweet timber that holds for hours.
In perfumery
A workhorse heart and base note prized for its smooth woody backbone and fixative power. It anchors chypres, fougeres and modern woods, pairing with vetiver, rose, citrus and amber. Cedar lends a signature plummy-woody core to spiced floral-woods and threads through countless unisex woods.
Good to know
Most perfumery "cedar" is not botanical cedar at all but juniper; true Cedrus and the unrelated Juniperus share a name through scent, not lineage. Cedarwood oil was burned in ancient Egyptian embalming and used to scent tombs, coffins and ships' timbers.
Coriandre
Green seed warmth turning soft and woody
What it is
The dried ripe seeds of Coriandrum sativum, an annual herb in the carrot family grown across Eastern Europe, Russia and India. Crushed seeds are steam-distilled into an essential oil dominated by linalool. The fresh leaf, called cilantro, smells entirely different and is rarely used in perfume.
How it smells
Warm, sweet and softly spicy, with a peppery, woody lift and a faint citrus-floral edge from its high linalool content. It opens fresh and green-aromatic, then dries into a rounded, slightly aldehydic warmth recalling lavender, rosewood and a hint of gingerbread.
In perfumery
A top-to-heart note adding freshness, spice and lavender-like roundness to fougeres and aromatic men's scents, paired with bergamot, lavender, geranium and ambery bases. Coriander is a classic heart note in many vintage citrus-aromatic and spicy compositions.
Good to know
Coriander is among the oldest cultivated spices, with seeds recovered from Egyptian tombs including Tutankhamun's. Because the seed oil runs up to seventy percent linalool, it gives perfumers a natural, gentler-smelling source of that molecule than the isolated synthetic.
Cumin
Hot, sweaty, animalic skin warmth
What it is
The dried seeds of Cuminum cyminum, a small annual herb in the carrot family cultivated in India, Iran, Syria and around the Mediterranean. The crescent-shaped seeds are steam-distilled into an oil rich in cuminaldehyde, the compound behind both its culinary and its intensely animalic scent.
How it smells
Pungent, warm and earthy, with a sharp green-spicy top and an unmistakable sweaty, cumin-and-skin facet that reads as deeply human. In trace amounts it adds carnal warmth; overdosed it turns frankly body-odour-like. The dry-down is dusty, nutty and oddly comforting.
In perfumery
A heart-note spice used sparingly for skin-like warmth and a daring animalic pulse, paired with rose, leather, labdanum and orange blossom. Cumin sits at the spicy heart of many oriental compositions and powers the carnal warmth of several reformulated classics.
Good to know
Cuminaldehyde so closely echoes a human sweat compound that perfumers call cumin polarising: wearers read it as either intimate or unwashed. A drop too many tips a whole composition, so it is usually dosed at fractions of a percent.
Thé Noir
Tannic warmth steeping with hay and tobacco
What it is
Fully oxidized leaves of Camellia sinensis, long cultivated across China. Plucked leaves are withered, rolled, fully oxidized and dried, deepening their color and aroma. Perfumery draws on rare tea absolutes and CO2 extracts, though the note is most often rebuilt from aroma chemicals as an accord.
How it smells
Astringent and warm, sitting between rose and jasmine softened by powdery ionones. Dried-leaf bitterness carries hints of hay, tobacco and worn leather over a tannic dryness. It opens crisp and airy, then settles into a smoky, woody calm.
In perfumery
A versatile heart note that grounds compositions, its tannic edge balancing sweetness with powdery elegance and an airy, soothing lift. Built from ionones, theaspirane, tabanone and guaiacwood, it pairs with citrus, florals and woods, defining many modern tea fragrances.
Good to know
Genuine tea extracts exist from specialist naturals suppliers, but most tea notes are reconstructions because true extracts are scarce and costly. Theaspirane, identified in tea volatiles in the early 1970s, supplies the sharp metallic tannin, while tabanone adds a warm tobacco-and-acorn nuance.
Immortelle
Sun-baked hay laced with maple and curry
What it is
Immortelle is Helichrysum italicum, a small silvery Mediterranean shrub nicknamed the curry plant, growing wild on rocky scrubland in Corsica, the Balkans and southern France. Its clustered yellow flower heads, which keep their colour when dried, are steam-distilled for an essential oil or solvent-extracted into an absolute.
How it smells
The note opens warm and herbal, like sun-warmed hay and dried chamomile, with a sharp curry-leaf edge. As it settles, sweeter facets surface: burnt maple syrup, caramel, tobacco, liquorice and tree sap. The drydown turns rounder and honeyed, faintly fenugreek-spiced and slightly medicinal underneath.
In perfumery
Used in the heart and base, immortelle lends a tobacco-tea-liqueur warmth and natural depth, pairing with woods, leather, lavender and amber in fougere and oriental builds. It anchors the reference maple-immortelle scents, and elsewhere is set against lavender for a sweeter, aromatic contrast.
Good to know
The name means everlasting: cut flowers hold their shape and colour for years without water, which earned the plant a place in ancient funeral wreaths. Corsican distillation yields are tiny, so true immortelle absolute ranks among the costlier naturals on a perfumer's bench.
Otto de Rose de Géorgie
The sunlit, honey-clear damask of the Caucasus
What it is
Georgian Rose is the otto (steam/hydro-distilled essential oil) of Rosa damascena grown in the valleys of the Caucasus, in the Republic of Georgia. In an all-natural house where rare botanicals are distilled and blended in-house, it appears as a genuine single-origin rose oil rather than a reconstituted rose accord, often set beside other true ottos so each origin keeps its own voice. Being the otto and not the solvent-extracted absolute, it carries the lighter, more crystalline top of the flower rather than the dark, jammy depth that extraction pulls out.
How it smells
Sunny, bright and glowingly warm: a clear honeyed damask laced with a musky-powdery softness and a plethora of shifting honeyed nuances. There is a green, almost rose-geranium lift up top and, in the drydown, the scent of the whole shrub, leaves, stems and petals, rather than petals alone. The honey here is luminous and fresh-jammy, never sticky, with a faint spiciness that keeps it from turning syrupy.
In perfumery
Georgian otto is prized as a transparent, radiant rose that lifts and brightens a composition without weighing it down, which is why it is layered with oud, musk and other roses to add daylight to an otherwise dark blend. In a many-rose blend it can sit among four single-origin rose oils, from Georgia, Afghanistan, Bulgaria and India, contributing the clear, musky-honeyed facet that distinguishes it from its sharper or fruitier siblings. A few drops read clean and floral-fresh; in concentration it turns velvety and powdery without losing its lit-from-within clarity.
Good to know
True Georgian rose otto is a clear, thin oil that congeals at cool room temperature (around 68°F / 20°C) and re-liquefies in the hand, a hallmark of an unadulterated otto. It is distinct from a rose absolute, which is darker, deeper and more wine-jammy, and from synthetic rose accords built on geraniol and damascones, which lack its living green, whole-plant complexity. Like all genuine damask ottos it is precious and costly, hundreds of pounds of petals yield a single ounce, so its presence signals real botanical content, not a rose flavoring.
Cassis
Tart cassis with a wild, animalic snarl
What it is
From Ribes nigrum, a small deciduous shrub grown across Europe, notably Burgundy. Perfumery rarely uses the berry; the prized material is cassis bud absolute, hexane-extracted from the resinous leaf buds, often supplemented by sulphur-containing aroma molecules that capture the fruit's pungent tartness.
How it smells
Sharply fruity and tart, the bud absolute carries a green, leafy, almost catty pungency with a sweat-like, sulphurous bite beneath the berry sweetness. The effect is wild and unmistakable: ripe blackcurrant fruit edged with green sap and a faintly animalic growl.
In perfumery
A top note delivering tart fruit and a bracing green realism that lifts a composition. It sharpens rose and adds bite to fruity-floral and chypre accords. Cassis is a classic chypre opening and a recurring jolt in modern fruity perfumes.
Good to know
The catty, sulphurous facet comes from trace thiols so potent they register at parts per trillion, the same molecule family behind the scent of cat spray and certain Sauvignon Blanc wines. A drop of cassis bud absolute goes a very long way.
Civette
Animal warmth that makes flowers bloom indecent
What it is
A glandular paste from the African civet, a nocturnal cat-like mammal secreting it from a perineal pouch, historically scraped out by hand and tinctured in alcohol. Modern perfumery instead uses synthetic civetone, a large-ring ketone whose macrocyclic structure was elucidated by Leopold Ruzicka in 1926.
How it smells
Raw and undiluted it is shockingly fecal, pungent and indolic, edged with skatole and sour butter. Diluted to traces it turns warm, honeyed and slightly leathery, with a tobacco hum and skin-like radiance. The shift from repellent to alluring happens entirely through dilution.
In perfumery
A base-note fixative valued for radiance and carnal warmth, lending florals a living, skin-like glow. Classic alongside jasmine and rose in animalic chypres and orientals. Trace civet shaped many vintage aldehydic florals and ambery orientals before synthetic civetone displaced the natural material.
Good to know
Traditional civet farming caged animals in cruel conditions to harvest the paste, driving a near-total switch to synthetic civetone on ethical grounds. This perfumery civet is unrelated to the Asian palm civet behind kopi luwak coffee, a separate species entirely.
Jasmin Sambac
The white flower of warm Eastern nights
What it is
Jasmine Sambac is a climbing shrub, Jasminum sambac, in the olive family, cultivated in India, China and the Philippines. Its small white flowers open after dusk and are hand-picked before dawn, when scent peaks. Solvent extraction yields a waxy concrete, washed with alcohol into the absolute.
How it smells
Brighter, greener and more tea-like than grandiflorum jasmine, with less fruity heaviness. It opens crisp and slightly waxy, almost banana-tinged, then deepens into warm indolic sweetness. That indole carries an animalic, narcotic undertone that turns heady up close yet stays clear and luminous.
In perfumery
A heart note prized for lift and body, blending with rose, tuberose, sandalwood and green tea accords. It anchors white-floral bouquets and rounds sharp citrus. Some night-blooming soliflores build almost entirely on Sambac, and it threads through countless tea-floral compositions.
Good to know
Sambac is the Philippine national flower, sampaguita, strung into garlands and used to scent Chinese jasmine tea. Because the blooms are tiny and picked by hand nightly across a long season, the absolute ranks among the costliest florals in a perfumer's palette.
Musc de Tonkin
The gold standard every musk is measured against
What it is
Tonkin musk is genuine deer musk taken historically from the gland of the male musk deer (Moschus) of Tonkin, the mountainous region of northern Vietnam and adjacent southern China. It is the single most legendary grade of natural musk ever traded — the benchmark against which Kashmiri, Mongolian, Tibetan and every other deer musk is judged. Today's artisanal Tonkin comes from bygone, pre-ban vintage pods sourced from the royal collection of the late Sultan Qaboos, so no living deer is harmed. Genuine deer musk is now CITES-protected contraband, which makes authentic Tonkin one of the rarest materials in all of perfumery.
How it smells
The raw material's signature is depth married to sweetness: a velvety, fuzzy, warm-blooded animalic heart wrapped in honeyed, waxy, almost chocolatey richness, with a slightly fruity glow and a powdery suede finish. It carries the unmistakable animalic 'bite' of real musk, yet stays suave and radiant rather than sharp or fecal. A single drop intoxicates and clings for days, diffusing with a luminous, skin-warming radiance no other musk matches. The grade is what gives Tonkin its near-mythic reputation among collectors.
In perfumery
Tonkin is the king of fixatives — a trace amount welds disparate notes into one seamless, glowing accord and stretches longevity toward days. In a Tonkin-built composition it anchors a creamy base alongside Timor sandalwood and the soulful hue of Cambodi oud, brightened by juicy yuzu and spicy ginger and softened with tuberose, narcissus and jonquil over a whisper of lavender. The musk is dosed in the smallest fractions, so the finished scent reads bright, well-rounded and wearable rather than heady or overtly animalic.
Good to know
Do not confuse this with the 'white musk' on most ingredient lists — that is synthetic (Galaxolide, ethylene brassylate and the like), clean and one-dimensional precisely because it lacks the depth, fruity-chocolate facets and living warmth of the real gland. Among true deer musks, Tonkin is the sweetest, deepest and most floral-friendly; Mongolian reads calmer but more sharply animalic, Kashmiri drier and more barnyard. Because authentic Tonkin can no longer be sourced new, a fragrance built on genuine vintage pods is effectively unrepeatable.
Cire D'Abeille
Golden honeyed wax, the warmth of the hive
What it is
Beeswax is secreted by worker honeybees (Apis mellifera) from abdominal glands to build honeycomb. For perfumery the raw wax is solvent-extracted into an absolute, a dark golden semi-solid carrying the residual honey, propolis and pollen aromatics trapped within the comb during the bees' work.
How it smells
Warm, sweet and animalic, leading with honeyed richness over a soft beeswax-candle facet. Beneath lies a hay-like, tobacco-tinged depth with floral and faintly fecal undertones from propolis. It feels golden, waxy and rounded, recalling honeycomb, freshly snuffed candles and sun-warmed wax.
In perfumery
A heart-to-base note bringing honeyed warmth, animalic roundness and a creamy waxy texture that softens florals and ambers. It pairs with orange blossom, immortelle, tobacco and labdanum. Niche compositions often foreground its raw, hive-like character at full strength.
Good to know
Beeswax absolute is costly because the raw wax yields under one percent absolute, so it takes roughly a hundred kilos of wax for one kilo of absolute. Bees themselves consume about eight kilos of honey to make a single kilo of wax, compounding its scarcity and price.
Santal
Creamy meditative woods that breathe in slowly
What it is
Sandalwood oil is steam-distilled from the heartwood and roots of slow-growing Santalum trees, classically Santalum album of Mysore, India. As the wild Indian source neared collapse, plantations of the same species in tropical Western Australia now supply much of the world's perfumery-grade oil.
How it smells
Soft, creamy and milky, with a smooth woody warmth and a faintly sweet, rosy, almost buttery edge. It carries no sharpness, only a rounded balsamic depth. It stays remarkably steady on skin, glowing quietly for hours rather than opening and drying in distinct stages.
In perfumery
A base note valued as both scent and fixative, sandalwood lends creaminess, warmth and a meditative softness that binds compositions together. It pairs beautifully with rose, jasmine, vetiver and spice. Many meditative woody and incense fragrances celebrate it at their heart.
Good to know
Genuine Mysore sandalwood was so overharvested that India tightened export controls and the wild tree became vulnerable, with oil prices reported around two thousand dollars per kilogram. Plantations of Santalum album grown near Kununurra in Western Australia now sustainably recreate the original creamy profile.
Castoréum
Leather and warmth drawn from the beaver
What it is
An animal secretion from the castor sacs, scent glands near the base of the tail in both male and female beavers, where it blends with urine to mark territory. Trappers dry the sacs, then extract a tincture, resinoid or absolute. Most modern perfumery now relies on synthetic recreations.
How it smells
Dark, warm and leathery, with smoky, tar-like and faintly medicinal birch-tar facets. Beneath the animalic depth sit sweeter tones of dried fruit, hay and vanilla, plus a whiff of new leather and woodsmoke. Heavily diluted, it turns soft, suede-like and skin-warm.
In perfumery
A base-note fixative bringing leather, animalic warmth and long tenacity. It anchors chypres, fougeres and leather scents, pairing with birch tar, labdanum, oakmoss and tobacco. Castoreum builds the hide of leather scents, the warm drydown of classic orientals and the smoky depth of vintage Russian-leather styles.
Good to know
Beavers eat willow and poplar bark rich in salicin, giving castoreum a salicylate, almost aspirin-like character. It has long been a food flavoring labeled as natural flavors, classed GRAS, though falling use and ethical concerns mean genuine castoreum is now rare and mostly synthetic.
Bois D'Agar Kepi Sauvage
Resinous heartwood that perfumers call liquid gold
What it is
Agarwood is the dark, resin-soaked heartwood that Aquilaria trees produce only after a wound or mould infection triggers their defence. The fungus-fighting oleoresin saturates the wood over years, and steam or hydro-distillation draws it into oud oil. Real distilled oud is rarer and costlier by weight than gold.
How it smells
Living and shifting rather than fixed: smoke, animal warmth, damp forest floor, leather and incense braided together. Sesquiterpenes carry an almost fermented depth while chromones lend leathery sweetness. It breathes on skin, moving from barnyard funk through balsamic resin to a quiet, meditative woodiness.
In perfumery
True agarwood oil is the spine of Arabian attars and the prize of all-natural artisan houses, who distill it themselves. CITES protection and ruinous cost mean most commercial perfumes labelled oud instead lean on a synthetic accord.
Good to know
Profile changes radically with origin, tree species, fungus and ageing, which is why oud is discussed like wine terroir. Grades climb from plantation oils to wild double-superior batches, peaking at kyara, the rarest and most prized grade once reserved for emperors and temple incense.
Caractère Olfactif
Les premières minutes crépitent d'épices, la coriandre et les deux poivres tranchant à travers le cèdre avant que le cœur ne s'adoucisse en Georgian Rose Otto, Jasmine Sambac et thé noir. La civette et le castoreum émergent régulièrement au fil du cœur, attirant les floraux vers quelque chose d'humide, de chaud et de légèrement sauvage. En fond, le Tonkin Musk et la cire d'abeille scellent l'ensemble en une résine dense et proche de la peau qui persiste pendant des heures sans s'imposer.
Tenue
combien de temps il reste sur la peau
Cette jauge lit la durée de port attendue, le nombre d'heures pendant lesquelles le parfum continue de parler sur la peau avant de s'éteindre. Un repère près du bas signifie quelques heures fugaces, tandis qu'un repère poussé à l'extrême promet un parfum encore présent du matin jusqu'au soir.
Sillage
l'ampleur de sa traîne parfumée
Cette jauge lit jusqu'où le parfum se déploie au-delà de vous et la traîne qu'il laisse. Faible, il reste doux contre la peau, un murmure intime perçu seulement de tout près ; élevé, il grimpe du modéré au puissant jusqu'à l'immense, emplissant une pièce et s'attardant dans l'air une fois que vous l'avez quittée.
Expérimental
pour les audacieux et les curieux
Des parfums hors normes qui repoussent les limites, pour qui veut provoquer une réaction et se démarquer. Ils conviennent aux compositions artistiques et exigeantes : goudron encré, caoutchouc, fruit fermenté, facettes métalliques ou animales qui défient le goût facile. Sur ce cadran, une pièce qui rayonne signifie qu'il récompense le nez aventureux, une pièce éteinte qu'il joue la sécurité.
Bureau
soigné mais jamais envahissant
Les espaces professionnels rapprochés où un parfum ne devrait être perçu que par les personnes tout près de vous. Il convient aux compositions retenues et propres, à la diffusion modeste : agrume net, musc doux, bois pâles qui paraissent compétents et prévenants. Sur ce cadran, une pièce qui rayonne signifie qu'il fonctionne dans les espaces partagés, une pièce éteinte qu'il porte trop loin.
Soirée
après la tombée du jour, intensité montée
Dîners, verres et sorties nocturnes, quand un parfum peut s'approfondir et diffuser avec assurance. Il convient aux compositions plus riches et chaudes : ambres, résines, bois fumés ou fleurs charnues qui s'épanouissent en lumière tamisée. Sur ce cadran, une pièce qui rayonne signifie que le parfum prend vie après le coucher du soleil, une pièce éteinte qu'il reste mieux fait pour le jour.
Romantique
assez proche pour être ressenti
Moments intimes et soirées en tête-à-tête, faits pour attirer l'autre tout près. Il convient aux compositions chaudes et sensuelles qui vibrent contre la peau : fleurs crémeuses, vanille, musc doux, une touche d'épice ou d'ambre qui invite à la proximité. Sur ce cadran, une pièce qui rayonne signifie qu'il installe une humeur séduisante, une pièce éteinte qu'il penche plus vers le pratique que le séduisant.
Habillé
raffiné pour l'occasion qui compte
Mariages, cérémonies, galas et tenues d'apparat qui appellent maîtrise et élégance. Il convient aux parfums polis et structurés, à l'autorité discrète : bois lisses, fleurs raffinées, cuir doux, rien de tapageur ni de joueur. Sur ce cadran, une pièce qui rayonne signifie qu'il porte la juste gravité, une pièce éteinte qu'il paraît trop décontracté pour la circonstance.
Décontracté
confort facile des journées sans hâte
Le port de tous les jours, sans programme : les courses, le café, les amis, un week-end qui prend son temps. Il convient aux parfums doux et accessibles, propres et naturels, comme un agrume frais, des bois légers ou une douce chaleur de peau. Sur ce cadran, une pièce qui rayonne signifie que le parfum épouse ces moments détendus, une pièce éteinte qu'il en demande davantage.
Du jour au soir
là où son humeur se pose naturellement
Ce curseur lit l'heure pour laquelle le parfum a été pensé. Un repère vers la gauche penche lumineux et clair, à l'aise au grand jour et en plein air ; glissez-le vers la droite et le caractère se fait plus profond et plus chaud, le genre de présence qui appartient au soir et aux pièces éclairées à la bougie.
Hiver
chaleur qui traverse l'air froid
L'air froid étouffe et ralentit un parfum, si bien que l'hiver récompense le dense et le chaud : résines, fumée, vanille, cuir et épices ambrées qui rayonnent de chaleur contre le froid. La jauge montre avec quelle force ce parfum-là tient et rougeoie par temps froid.
Printemps
floraisons fraîches dans une chaleur douce et montante
L'air doux et humide porte à merveille les compositions légères, si bien que le printemps favorise les fleurs perlées de rosée, les tiges vertes, la poudre douce et les agrumes transparents, vivants plutôt que lourds. La jauge montre à quel point ce parfum-là épouse cette saison fraîche et doucement réchauffante.
Été
clair et aérien dans la vraie chaleur
La chaleur amplifie et projette fort le parfum, si bien que l'été appelle des choses fraîches, nettes et respirables : agrume vif, air marin salé, herbes aromatiques et fraîcheur aquatique qui rafraîchissent au lieu d'alourdir. La jauge montre avec quel confort ce parfum-là se porte dans une vraie chaleur.
Automne
chaleur épicée des journées qui fraîchissent
À mesure que les températures baissent, les matières plus riches s'expriment nettement sans étouffer, si bien que l'automne convient aux bois secs, aux épices chaudes, au tabac, à l'ambre et aux fruits dorés, douillets et propices à la rêverie. La jauge montre avec quel naturel ce parfum-là s'installe dans les journées vives et fraîchissantes.
Occasions Idéales
Parfaitement adapté aux journées fraîches et resserrées de l'automne et du cœur de l'hiver, porté en soirée par quelqu'un à l'aise avec un parfum résolument animal.
