Eau de Parfum with aromatic notes of Pink Pepper, Rosemary, Apple, Rose, Cloves, Patchouli, Ambroxan and Labdanum.
At the fore, an emphatic reinterpretation of rose; pure, streamlined, uncompromisingly modern. Blended with a unique extraction of timut pepper, geranium bourbon and a note of cassis for freshness and spice. Yet a quiet storm lies beneath: vetiver and cedar forms an earthy bed of dark, mysterious leather with IsoButyl Quinoline at the center – an intensely bitter molecule, largely forgotten since its use in the daring perfumery of the Jazz Age.
At once sparkling and sober, a recognisably floral composition is shadowed by a dramatic, yet controlled sensuality.

Perfumer: Jean Claude Ellena
- The Perfumer: JEAN CLAUDE ELLENA
Jean-Claude has revisited the eau de cologne structure throughout his long career, always employing his signature precision and restraint. His style of perfumery is an ode to quiet, exquisite minimalism: if it were rendered into sound, it would be chamber music. If it were art, a precise watercolour sketch. And so when Frédéric asked him to reinvent the eau de cologne, Jean-Claude’s response was compellingly succinct. He began by commissioning LMR, a laboratory known for their world-class expertise in natural extraction, to develop a very specific ingredient: a bitter orange oil, specially treated so that it could be used at an extremely high concentration.
