Inspired by decadent New York nights in the 70s, Absolue Pour le Soir is an eau de parfum with animalic, ambery sensuality. A vibrant, languorous, and hypnotic sillage.
My Very Intimate Perfumes is an exclusive collection of four aromatic masterpieces that invites to celebrate rarity, pure emotion, and the personal story between a perfumer and his creations.
Ambery
Rose-Honey accord
Vanilla Amber Accord
The amber used in perfumery has nothing to do with the yellow amber stone, which is ornamental but has no smell, nor with ambergris, which refers to an animal extract from the sperm whale. The amber accord inspired a series of successful perfumes launched at the beginning of the last century. It included two flagship ingredients, cistus labdanum, with its warm, resinous, animal facets, and vanillin, a new, sweet aromatic compound, which is the primary component of vanilla. Since then, the combination of these two warm and persistent notes has been considered to form the amber accord, generally enriched with tonka bean, coumarin and resins such as benzoin or incense, which are all base notes.
Ciste Labdanum
This wild shrub grows in arid soils around the Mediterranean. When it is hot, its leaves and branches exude a sticky animal-scented gum called labdanum, close to ambergris in high dilution. There are several ways of extracting Cistus Ladaniferus: steam distillation of its branches yields the aromatic, resinous and woody cistus oil. Extraction with volatile solvents results in the heavier cistus-labdanum absolute, at once balsamy, pyrogenic and resinous, used in the heart and base of a fragrance. These two products are pivotal notes in “chypre” accords and add character to amber accords and “oud” compositions in both women’s and men’s perfumes.
