French Burgundy
Fragrance notes
Character
French Burgundy opens with violet and blueberry touched by mandarin orange. The fruit is present without becoming sugary, and the citrus keeps the entrance bright rather than heavy. Violet lends a soft powder that sits close to the skin while the berries add a cool, dark color to the air. Mandarin lifts the top layer so the start feels awake and alert.
Black pepper and red chilli pepper arrive next, bringing heat that sits above the fruit. Immortelle adds a dry, hay-like warmth that ties the spices to the opening. The heat is steady rather than sharp, and it pushes the violet into the background without removing it entirely. Saffron enters early here, weaving through the heart and giving the spices a slightly metallic glow.
Akigalawood and oakmoss form a woody, mossy base that grounds the entire composition. The wood feels dry and modern, while the oakmoss pulls the scent toward earth and shade. Saffron remains throughout, linking each layer into a single path. The result is warm spicy, woody, oud, fruity, violet, citrus, sweet, fresh spicy, powdery, and mossy.
