Glimmer
An amber floral with a gourmand twist, where a macaron-like rose accord is wrapped in warm amber and patchouli.
Perfumer: Jean-Marc Chaillan, Dominique Ropion, Anne Flipo
Glimmer is an amber floral eau de parfum with a gourmand twist. At its center are a Macaron Rose Accord, Shimmering Patchouli and an Amber Embrace Accord, which the brand says it reworked with modern techniques into a bright, glowing composition.
The top notes are Raspberry Mousse Accord, orange flower and mandarin oil. The raspberry brings a fruity sweetness that leans toward rose, mandarin adds a light freshness, and orange flower softens the brightness.
The heart holds the Macaron Rose Accord, rose, vanilla bean and Cashmeran. As the scent develops, the macaron-like rose moves forward and is wrapped in the warmth of amber and patchouli. The base lists Shimmering Patchouli, the Amber Embrace Accord, sandalwood, cedarwood and tonka bean, and the drydown settles on amber, patchouli, woods and tonka with a trace of sweetness remaining.
The full-size bottle is a rectangle carved with semi-circles that catch and reflect light, finished with a round gold-tone cap, a visual echo of the glow in the scent.
