Deja Vu
Li Qingzhao's legend traced from pear and hops through lentisque and rose to bran and leather.
Perfumer: Miroslav Petkov
The story draws on the Chinese poet Li Qingzhao, imagining a life poised between brilliance, romance and melancholy. Composed by Miroslav Petkov, this scent follows her legend through three scenes: intoxication, reverie and defiance.
Pear and hops open it. The juicy sweetness of pear meets the bitter, aromatic edge of hops, suggesting the glow of a fine drink, while pink pepper adds a light sting. In the heart, the clear resin of lentisque meets rose and the soft, musky warmth of ambrette, and the brightness slowly turns wistful.
Bran, amber and a Saffiano leather accord make up the base. The toasted, grain-like tone of bran and the crisp leather give the scent a backbone that resists sweetness, while amber gathers the outline into warmth.
