1. Liqueur Charnelle
The five major aromas that give Cognac its unique flavour are vanilla, prune, caramel, orange and apricot… while the nose detects floral and fruity notes in its bouquet, such as dried linden blossom, vine blossom, dry vine shoots and pressed grape with hints of violet and vanilla.
Inspired by this cornucopia of fragrances, Liqueur Charnelle is a voluptuous, deeply sensual accord in which the perfumer offers a “cognac bouquet” of spices, blond tobacco and powdery woods. Suave and vibrant pink pepper, elemi and black pepper enhance tonka bean and raspberry notes.

2. FR! 01/05
Antoine Lie
"For FR! 01/05, I experimented with notes that are often added to fresh hesperidium structures, seeking to enrich them without any kind of artifice. In a woody, spicy atmosphere composed of vetiver and black fig, FR! 01/05’s green freshness lingers as the fragrance dries down. An impression of wormwood gives the scent a dangerous, forbidden allure, what the French call folie, a dash of madness!"
An innovative combination of deep green and spice, lifted by compote ripened berries that have had a dash of dry vermouth and softened by aromatic wood and musky tones.

4. Cilice
Incense, Beeswax, Sweet Balsam, Wounded Wood and Leather Accord
“I am at once both soothed and intrigued by the dry air that carries in its memory a myriad of fragrant notes that weave an exquisite tapestry of incense, wax, wood and leather. Patiently crafted by countless wisps of rich incense, the patina of time is lifted by the soft, effusive light of sweet beeswax candles. Something darker, both sensual and primitive, compels a deeper breath.”
– Perfumer Etienne Chevreuil.
