Specimen 011 Cotton Juniper
Bertrand Duchaufour turns a story of cotton flowers in endless frost into cold juniper berry over the soft whiteness of cotton flower and linen.
Perfumer: Bertrand Duchaufour
Its story begins with a rare cotton flower thriving where the frost never melts. Bertrand Duchaufour builds on that picture: fibers that are soft yet refuse to come apart, and cold air that seems to have taken on a shape.
Mandarin peel brightens the opening, joined by the light spice of soft schinus, the transparent petals of freesia and the crisp, white cleanliness of an aldehydes accord. In the heart, juniper berry's sharp, needle-like freshness cuts a line of cold through the soft whiteness of cotton flower, clean linen and edelweiss.
The base sets the gentle warmth of cashmere wood against the airy spread of musk cloud, while vanilla adds a faint sweetness, leaving a little warmth behind the chill.
