Inspired by the novel Nanà by Émile Zola. “All the shops were known to him, he knew the individual smells, in the air saturated with gas: the intense scents of Russian leather, the vanilla aroma coming from the underground of a chocolate workshop, the musky scents that came out of the open doors of the perfumeries… Nana's perfume was patchouli”
The opening is characterized by clear fruity liqueur accents obtained with Bergamot, currant and a natural strawberry, together with the Gurjum Balsam give great volume to the perfume through a trio of vanillas: Madagascar Vanilla Absolute, Infusion of Vanilla and Vanilla Co2. Add in Peru Balsam and Chocolate Powder for a real olfactory style richness.
Accents of Patchouli (Sumatra) from the Gayo Region famous for its coffee production help to give the vanilla pods nuances of roasted coffee, and in the final drydown, the subtle leather note wants to leave a tattoo on the skin. An absolutely persistent and unisex fragrance, never excessively sugary, but ... sweet to taste.
What We Think
Truly and wonderfully unique, this captivatingly artistic gourmand eschews empty richness for something more magical- a gently sweet, brightly tart, intriguingly spiced leather-vanilla that enchants on first sniff but only reveals its true secrets over time.
