This is a distinctive fresh perfume that stands out effortlessly among other crisp fragrances. The clear, zesty aroma of lemon and the bitter-fresh essence of rosemary are perfectly balanced with the masculine, woody nuances of its base notes.
Launched in 1966, this scent was created in collaboration with perfumer Edmond Roudnitska, who crafted a legendary fragrance defined by its fresh, citrusy accords. These notes—including lemon, basil, bergamot, cumin, lavender, and fruit—blend seamlessly with spicy lavender on a robust, woody foundation. The heart notes unfold with jasmine, rose, carnation, iris root, coriander, patchouli, and sandalwood, while the base reveals oak moss, vetiver, musk, and amber. The bottle was designed by Pierre Dinand.
