A PERFUME OF OPTIMISM
It’s a white light in the dark. A mysterious clarity radiating a nocturnal clearing. The caress of the moon on a field of tuberous, immaculate petals reflecting the glow of the star like a mirror.
It is a star, ALDEBARAN, one of the brightest in the sky; the second star of the floral constellation imagined by the designer Marc-Antoine Barrois and his accomplice, the perfumer Quentin Bisch.
“A fragrance like no other. ”
Like a luminous star in the night, this new fragrance is a soliflore of tuberose with milky facets and fresh petals, lightly enhanced with paprika and tonka beans. ALDEBARAN embodies hope and optimism.
ALDEBARAN takes its name from the brightest star discovered and observed by an 18th-century Arab astronomer. Its name, from the Arabic Al-Debaran, evokes the outstretched hand of one who helps and shows the way. This olfactory experience is a quest for optimism, like a journey through the looking glass, from darkness to light.
An unwavering totem of strength and assertiveness, the original Purpose Eau de Parfum employed the ageless power of Frankincense to convey a sense of feeling at peace, of finding one’s roots, of being complete. Now in the form of an Exceptional Extrait, dosed at an astonishing 50% concentration, Purpose 50 delves deeper into the base of the scent. Joining the Frankincense, the Papyrus and the Sand Vetiver from the Eau de Parfum are an authoritative Sandalwood accord – lending the whole a unique, creamy-woody earthiness – as well as a Vanillin note, which creates a more intimate bond with the wearer’s skin. Purpose 50 is a profoundly moving connection to the earth itself – with its ancient soul , its endless patience and its timeless wisdom.
What makes Purpose 50 an “Exceptional Extrait”?
Usually, a higher perfume oil concentration means an increased performance of the fragrance (particularly longer-lasting scent), but the impact of oil concentration is much more complex and varies depending on each formula.
A fragrance is usually a mix of a concentrate (containing fragrant oils) and an alcoholic base. Some fragrances can also contain a bit of water and additives like liquid UV filters, stabilizers, or colourants. Therefore, fragrances with a higher fragrance concentration contain more perfume oils and less alcohol, and vice-versa.
