French Bouquet
About
French Bouquet wears like an aldehydic floral bouquet with a dry spicy opening and a soft powdery heart. On skin it grows warmer as tobacco, labdanum, and tonka add depth, while vetiver and patchouli keep the silhouette crisp and composed.
French Bouquet opens with a cool aldehydic flash where bergamot and coriander create a dry, almost sparkling start. After a few minutes, the scent softens and a floral heart of rose, jasmine, and orange blossom comes forward. The white-floral tone feels clean and slightly powdery, without excess sweetness. In the base, labdanum and tobacco add density, while vetiver and patchouli keep the composition structured with a subtle chypre direction. Violet and sandalwood round the trail, and tonka bean leaves a soft, warm finish on skin. Its character is floral-spicy, suited to wearers who enjoy a classic architecture with a modern dry edge. It wears especially well in transitional seasons and in the evening, when the layered base unfolds slowly.
