Coquillage
Fragrance notes
Character
Peach and green mandarin burst out first, softened by neroli that keeps the fruit from turning heavy. The opening feels bright and immediate, the kind of top that draws attention without demanding it. It is a quick entrance that steps aside for what follows.
Tuberose and jasmine take over with a creamy weight, while narcissus adds a faint animalic edge that stops the white florals from smelling clean. The heart is lush and slightly dirty, the flowers pressed together rather than arranged. Patchouli and ambrette anchor the blend, with sandalwood rounding the edges so the base feels warm and slightly musky. The drydown is where Coquillage settles into its real character, trading the initial fruit for a dense floral wood that clings to skin and fabric. It is full, slightly indolic, and far more serious than the playful top notes suggest.
This is a scent for sunlit streets and open windows, the kind of fragrance that belongs on skin warmed by daylight. It sits close in mood to a garden in high summer, petals dropped on dry earth, the air thick with bloom and wood.
