Bordeaux
Fragrance notes
Character
Bordeaux opens with a vivid mix of coconut, pineapple, rum, cognac, pear, and bergamot. The fruit is lush and tropical, while the spirits add a boozy warmth that feels rich rather than sharp. Bergamot lifts the top slightly, but the overall impression is sweet and indulgent from the first spray.
The heart introduces whipped cream, rose, jasmine, orris, and cloves. The whipped cream note enhances the gourmand quality, wrapping the florals in a soft, airy sweetness. Clove brings a gentle spice that keeps the middle from becoming too sugary, and orris adds a faint powdery touch that smooths the transition toward the base.
In the drydown, rum returns alongside canelé, toffee, amber, tonka bean, cedar, vanilla, patchouli, and sandalwood. The result is a dense, woody gourmand that feels cozy and enveloping, suited to cool air and dim lighting. The vanilla and toffee lead the sweetness, while cedar and patchouli provide earthy structure. It is a fragrance for those who enjoy bold, dessert-like compositions with a strong amber and coconut presence.
