Tete a tete
Fragrance notes
Character
Tete a tete is a daytime companion for someone who wants a fruit bowl without the sugar crash. The opening piles cassia, pineapple, banana, pear, coconut, peach, plum, and apple into a bright, juicy heap, but the mint and lavender in the heart pull it upright. This is not a lounging scent. It is for walking outside with a jacket on, moving through cool air while the fruit stays crisp and the orris adds a soft powder that keeps the edges from feeling messy.
The argument for wearing it rests on balance. Rose and ylang-ylang bring a gentle floral weight, yet the green lily-of-the-valley and the mint stop the flowers from taking over. Cedar and sandalwood give the base a dry wood floor beneath the vanilla and amber, so the sweetness behaves. People who expect a heavy evening gourmand will find it too upright and fresh. People who want a clean, aromatic profile with real fruit and a powdery finish will feel understood.
Composed by Philippe Paparella-Paris, it suits a clear morning when the air still carries a chill and the sunlight hits a row of wooden benches warmed by cedar planks and fallen pear skins.
