Esprit de Contradiction

Mandarin, black pepper and coriander give a sharp opening, followed by ginger, flowers and clove over sage, woods and musk.

Citrus and spice form its central contrast. Ylang-ylang and iris bridge the opening and a dry vetiver and cedar base.

Composition

  • Top: tangerine, black pepper, coriander
  • Heart: ginger, ylang ylang, iris roots, clove
  • Base: musk, vetiver, sage, cedar wood

Wearing Character

The composition suggests spring and autumn wear. Longevity is estimated as moderate, with moderate projection; these are editorial assessments of its scent character.

Perfumer and Bottle
