Chypre
SORBONNE
A chypre with nothing to prove. Bergamot and pepper come first, the flowers follow without hurrying, and patchouli underneath keeps the whole thing steady for hours.

The inspiration
Some fragrances announce themselves. This one waits to be noticed, which is a different kind of confidence.
The structure is the oldest one in perfumery. Bergamot and pepper at the top, rose and jasmine through the middle, patchouli and musk underneath holding it all in place. Nothing here is unusual. What is unusual is how little it strains: the flowers are not sweetened, the patchouli is not smoked, and no material is asked to do more than it can.
Wear it to work, to dinner, to the same places twice. It was built to be lived in rather than remembered.
