Like a Virgin Unplugged
A cover version built on Moroccan orange blossom steeped in warm milk, opened by bergamot and freesia and closed with vanilla.
Perfumer: Fabrice Pellegrin
Think of it as a cover: the same 1984 song, reinterpreted by a different perfumer. Fabrice Pellegrin read its story of love returning after heartbreak as a gentle passage into a new chapter, and built it around a memory-laden image of Moroccan orange blossom steeped in warm milk.
Bergamot and freesia open the way, their bright bitterness and airy lightness letting in some air before the sweetness arrives. The orange blossom then softens inside a milky accord, its white-flower radiance rounded off rather than sharpened.
Vanilla closes the composition, settling with the milk into a clearly gourmand warmth. Where Alberto Morillas's Like a Virgin finishes close to the skin in musk, Unplugged turns in a sweeter, more gourmand direction and is made to project more boldly.
