Chouette Vierge No. 2
Fragrance notes
Character
A resinous cloud of frankincense meets saffron and rose at the very start, with bergamot and lavender adding a bright, herbal lift before the heavier elements arrive. Freesia and geranium soften the opening so it never feels harsh, while nutmeg nudges the spice into something gently warming. The initial impression is aromatic and fresh, yet the presence of saffron and resin signals that this is not a casual daytime companion.
The heart deepens the composition with musk, patchouli, and oud, allowing rose and jasmine to bloom against a dark, earthy backdrop. Here the fragrance reveals its true nature. It is built for evenings when the atmosphere matters more than the clock, where amber and woody accords create a cocoon that feels intentional and composed. The musk and patchouli give it a grounded, powdery texture that suits cooler air and low lighting.
Leather, vanilla, cedar, and sandalwood anchor the base alongside vetiver and a returning thread of saffron and oud. The result is a warm, spicy, and resinous profile that leans into its oriental roots without becoming cloying. It suits someone who enjoys a bold, resinous presence and does not mind a composition that wears its oud and leather openly. Those who prefer sheer, citrus-driven scents will find it too heavy and enclosed.
Chouette Vierge No. 2 is a fragrance for the velvet corner of a dim room, where the air is thick with resin and wood.
