Eau de parfum 202 : watermelon, red currant and jasmine

EDITOR'S NOTE

A spur-of-the-moment trip to a Provençal village market. Or, discovering the mysteries of Angkor, map in hand and a near-empty backpack to fill with souvenirs found along the way

This fragrance bursts with energy, evoking happiness and joy with a real cocktail of fruits. Watermelon and citrus fruits: there’s nothing more refreshing on a sunny afternoon. The transparent notes of cyclamen contrast with the more velvety facets of jasmine and lily of the valley. These white flowers waft like a gentle breeze over soft Indian sandalwood.

Where sandalwood come from?
Its subtle charms captivate everyone, everywhere.
Sandalwood is a soft, milky, mild, and sweet wood that thrills us to the core! What makes it special is its very long trail. White sandalwood has a long history, originating in India over 4,000 years ago. The tree must grow for more than 30 years before its wood can be distilled and its essence enjoyed. The finest sandalwood is cultivated in Mysore in the Chamundi foothills in the south of the country. While revered around the world, it is strictly controlled by the government. A victim of its own success, sandalwood is becoming increasingly rarer. After heavy consumption, its production and export have declined over the last decade. In India, temple doors and sculptures are made from this mystical wood. Imagine the sublime soft scent that wafts through these special surroundings. Sandalwood is an integral part of religious rituals and wedding ceremonies.
