Exquisite Affair

Mood: Innocent and seductive
Accords: peach, osmanthus, animal leather.

This fragrance captures the essence of sweetness and sexiness in an unexpected liaison between peach and leather, thus surprising. A secret relationship between two opposing yet complementary characters: innocence and seduction.
This liaison is symbolically represented by the harmony of peach and leather.
The "exquisite" juxtaposition creates a non-trivial, playful and unconventional fragrance.

How Exquisite Affair was born

The innocence
I worked on a sweet and 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 black currant, enhanced by a caramel note—cotton candy in the base.

The seduction
Leather, in its countless variations, is one of my favorite accords because of its deep and intense character, radiating carnality and sensuality. In this composition, I worked on a subtle yet well-defined leather, animalistic and dirty, that blends irresistibly with the sweetness of caramel.
It is the intense and sweet scent of a horse saddle. Sandalwood is added to enhance the creaminess of the lactonic heart note and the seductive power of the fractionated, velvety, and intense patchouli.
