The Lover'S Tale

Extrait de Parfum

A story from times past is told, a secret meeting between lovers that embodies the contradictions between reason and passion, restraint and desire. Driven by a burning passion. Enriched with natural raw materials, jasmine and leather occupy a central place in this fragrance. I have used exquisite Egyptian jasmine to create a subtly narcotic accord that harmoniously intertwines with leather. As a base, I have incorporated a touch of castoreum treated elegantly, maintaining its animal nuances intact. The opening captures the shy but sparkling mood of the moment these lovers meet, with notes of bergamot, honey, and a touch of aldehydes. A delicate hint of pollen evokes early spring nights, when peach trees are in full bloom and their sweet fragrance drifts in the air. As attraction and romance take hold of the lovers, a narcotic jasmine, softened by a subtle touch of powdery rose, embodies the growing tension between them. Finally, passion takes over, personified by a refined leather that develops over an intense amber accord background.
