Désirée
Passion fruit, rose, gardenia, pale woods and musk express the brightness of a first love.
Perfumer: Maurizio Cerizza
Desirée takes its inspiration from Desirée Clary, the first love of the young Napoleon. Developed with Maurizio Cerizza and released in 2019, the eau de parfum translates youth and restlessness into a lively combination of grapefruit, rose, passion fruit and pink pepper.
The top brings citrus, flowers, tropical fruit and softer spice together. Gardenia and jasmine add the rounded brightness of white flowers at the heart. Amber, cedarwood and white musk settle the floral fruitiness into a gentler finish. The progression moves from light fruit through fuller petals toward quieter wood and musk.
The selected decorated 100mL bottle complements its romantic inspiration. It suits a daytime outfit or an afternoon outing when bright fruit and soft white flowers are wanted together.
