Sombres Dessins

These Sombres Dessins have lost their E, abandoning the Machiavellianism of slightly unsettling dark designs to give free rein to a consummate art of conquest. A dark, handsome seducer, this perfume is a strategist of emotions, always playing three moves ahead on the chessboard of feelings. Warm and suave, spicy and sensual, it lights the fire beneath the ice.

Pink pepper and Italian bergamot open onto a heart of modern rose, patchouli, saffron and osmanthus, before a base of Indian sandalwood darkened to the extreme, labdanum, smoky olibanum and liqueur-like rum — every sensual facet of sandalwood, as an extrait de parfum.

Born from a memory of François Hénin's — the distillation of Mysore sandalwood, with creamy, almost deafening notes that linger for weeks on clothes — and composed by Amélie Bourgeois, Sombres Dessins is worn in autumn and winter. When finesse is coupled with unfailing instinct, all resistance is futile. Made in France.
