Crème Exquis
Fragrance notes
Character
Crème Exquis opens with a bright flash of Brazilian orange that quickly gives way to tart black cherry and powdery iris. The fruit feels fresh at first, then darkens as the scent settles. Vivamor Parfums presents a gourmand profile that stays grounded through its floral top layer, keeping the opening from feeling like candy alone.
The heart introduces chocolate and caramel alongside a soft orchid note. These elements create a thick, sugary middle that leans heavily into dessert territory. The chocolate is rich rather than bitter, and the caramel adds a sticky, golden sweetness that dominates the fragrance's core experience.
Base notes of oak, Ceylon cinnamon, coffee, Tahitian vanilla, and honey provide depth. The oak and coffee cut through the sugar with dry, roasted facets, while the cinnamon and vanilla add a familiar warmth. Honey smooths the transition, leaving a resinous, spicy trail that lingers on the skin.
Composed by Bertrand Duchaufour, this unisex scent suits a quiet evening indoors when the air is cold. The weight of the caramel and chocolate can become overwhelming in close quarters. The heavy sweetness lacks a sharp edge to balance the density, making it difficult to wear for long periods without feeling suffocated.
