Exquisite Affair: Sweet and sexy, the liaison between Peach and Leather is unexpected, therefore surprising. A secret relationship between two contrasting yet complementary characters: innocence and seduction. This liaison is symbolically portrayed through the harmony of Peach and Leather. The "exquisite" juxtaposition creates a non-trivial, playful, and unconventional fragrance.
The Innocence: I worked on a sweet-fruity vertical accord centered around peach and the values associated with it: youth, carefreeness, the age of innocence. It opens with the freshness of bergamot and green mandarin, reminiscent of freshly picked fruit; the peach is then enriched by osmanthus and blackcurrant, and amplified by a note of caramel - cotton candy in the base.
The Seduction: Leather, in its myriad variations, is one of my favorite accords for its deep and intense character that resonates with carnality and sensuality. In this composition, I worked on a whispered yet well-defined leather, animalic and dirty, which irresistibly blends with the sweetness of caramel. It is the intense and sweet scent of a horse saddle. Sandalwood is added to amplify the creaminess of the lactonic heart notes, and the seduction of fractionated, velvety, and intense Patchouli
