“As an inventor of fragrances, I feel very comfortable working with citrus notes, so, for this composition, I wanted to express my deep love for citrus through an extremely intricate top note that can be described as an anamorphosis of hesperidic notes: the spike of lemons, the elegance of bergamots, the sweetness of oranges, the floral notes of mandarins, the fruitiness of tangerines, all together working in unison.
Also, I always perceive a hint of iris notes (irones) in certain kinds of Mediterranean oranges and that thought took me to anchor this scent with the real deal: ultra pure iris absolute from Florence, bolstered with the best quality vetiver essence. This scent has become one I wear very frequently. I hope you become an addict as well!”
AFFINESSENCE has selected three Natural Essences of CEDAR (Moroccan Atlas, Texas and Virginia) and blended them with precision to enhance the vibrancy of the most precious and refined Natural ingredient: Pallida IRIS or Florentine Iris Absolute.
A drop of Benzoin and a dash of Myrrh mellow and soften this woody-powdery base with their tender caress, while Gaiac Wood, bolstered by Incense, turns its natural restlessness into an almost electric energy. This is a fragrance that will stir the senses to their very depths with its breathtaking fusion of sophisticated, intensely lingering scent and Musky sensitivity. Perfumer : Nicolas BONNEVILLE.

You have to know it’s there, and have no fear of mazes or crowds. In his tiny shop filled with spices from around the world, a merchant displays his treasures. Between the swirls of incense, he tells the story of each amphora, before unveiling the rarest of them all beneath a velvet cover. He alone knows whether it is gold or amber resin, voluptuous and enveloping. Like a mirage, a journey of the senses: an opulent, voluptuous and textured fragrance.
