J’adoube begins with a whisper of warning. An intriguing sensation engulfs us in an opening of pomegranate, rouge groseille, and mandarin, as the fragrance surges forward in a wave of tantalizing sweetness. Its evolution towards a bold and deep base of leather, patchouli, and ambrostar, brings focus to chaos while remaining wholly spontaneous and free.
A musky galaxy. The defining adventure: breathing in the scent of tuberoses while gazing up at the Milky Way and shooting stars. The surprising contrast: a sparkling tuberose contrasting with a velvety leather accord. Fragrance family: floral leather perfume extract (vegan). 32% concentration. Key raw materials: cinnamon bark essential oil ORPUR, tuberose absolute ORPUR, osmanthus absolute ORPUR, carrot seeds essential oil, patchouli essential oil ORPUR, cistus absolute ORPUR, leather accord, musks.
The ORPUR label brings together the finest natural perfume ingredients from the Givaudan perfume house.
A grand perfume that wraps around you like a cashmere veil… A perfume like no other, in many ways timeless and hard to describe with words. No.12 perfectly embodies the DNA of Puredistance: timelessly beautiful, elegant and very distinctive in character.
Jan Ewoud nicknamed No.12: ‘Beauty in Blue’. Dressed up in a rich tone of blue, he found it the perfect perfume to complete the MAGNIFICENT XII COLLECTION. No.12 is complex, rich, hard to define, full of character, long lasting in every way and aristocratic without arrogance or pretension.
Material is a paradox – through materiality, it evokes immateriality, teaching us to look beyond appearances and to realise that what matters is often unseen; an experience akin to standing in a grove and seeing in the sweltering shade a multitude of textures and manifold hues of wood and leaf and bark; all coming together into one.
Boundless is a burst of joy, a fleeting euphoria, translating the vertical tension that empowers those who want to enclose in their hands the immensity of the world. This ardent and vivacious energy echoes that of sunlight bouncing off the dewy leaves of the jungle, flickering in rays through a flower-studded canopy and grazing rainbow-barked trees before vanishing amongst gnarled and misty-kissed boughs.
