For this 2021 rewriting, the classic duo Hesperides-Vetiver, expresses itself through new proportions. Free of aromatics, citrus fruits radiate, tearing with their subtle nuances, a veil of iris and honey hiding a chypre background with a contemporary roundness.

Chypre
A classic chypre is characterized by top notes of citrus, often bergamot; a full-floral heart, like jasmine and rose; and mossy, woody notes in the base, such as patchouli, oak moss, and labdanum. For those who appreciate fragranced complexity and layered compositions, chypres are very exciting and worthwhile to explore!
