Size and concentration
Description

An original, elegant fragrance created using an unusual accord of two olfactory themes with an intense personality: the citrus notes of Colonia blended with the warm, aromatic accents of myrrh, a precious ingredient with a heady suggestion of mystical charm. Fresh top notes give way to a unique heart, where delicate orange blossom scents and spicy nutmeg accents blend with warm hints of myrrh oil. An enveloping veil of patchouli base notes mixes with the scent of myrrh resin, which reveals its balsamic, amber accents, unveiling the truly sophisticated personality of this new eau de cologne concentrée.

 

Perfumer(s): unconfirmed, likely Joëlle Lerioux Patris, François Demachy, and/or Bertrand Duchaufour

 

Notes: mandarin, lemon, orange blossom, nutmeg, myrrh, patchouli, myrrh resin

Longevity and layering

Did you know that fragrance longevity can be greatly increased by beginning your routine with clean, moisturized skin? We recommend starting with a shower gel or soap that is either neutrally scented or in the same scent family as your perfume. Then, add a moisturizer and/or body oil and allow it to soak in. Finally, add your fragrance on top. This added moisture barrier will hold the scent molecules for more time, allowing the fragrance to last longer. Think of it as a primer for perfume!
You can also layer scented products (including lotion, soap, body oil, perfume oil, and other alcohol-based perfumes) to add depth, intensity, or a variety of other facets to your final fragrance. We suggest beginning with similar scents (such as two different citrus or vanilla fragrances) and testing those layering combinations, then branching out to more experimental pairings. Feeling stuck? Shared notes, even in very different fragrances, can help bring the final scent together. The sky's the limit - have fun!
