Un Dejeuner Sous La Tonnelle
Fragrance notes
Character
Wild strawberry and Italian lemon open the scent with a brisk, sunlit tartness that feels immediate and unpretentious. Pink pepper adds a quiet lift without turning sharp, letting the citrus lead. Ylang-ylang and jasmine arrive with a soft, slightly powdery floral presence that stays close to the skin and never overwhelms the fruit. Patchouli sits underneath, earthy and calm, giving the heart a grounded feel that keeps the sweetness from floating away. Sandalwood and white cedar extract lend a creamy, woody base that lingers gently on fabric and warms the skin without pushing outward. White musk smooths the edges so the transition from fruit to wood feels natural rather than staged.
The overall mood suits a bright morning table set under climbing vines, where light moves across linen and the air stays warm but not heavy. It feels composed by Patrick Bodifee to be approachable and polished, leaning sweet but balanced by wood and a faint spicy thread. Anyone who dislikes powdery florals or earthy patchouli may find the heart less appealing, and those wanting a scent that fills a space will not find it here. The wear stays present through a normal day without demanding attention or leaving a trail behind. It suits someone who enjoys fruity florals with a woody, grounded finish. A woven basket holds ripe strawberries, a folded napkin, and a small wooden box of cedar shavings.
