Sombres Dessins

Sombres Dessins by Jovoy Parfums, a woody spicy extrait de parfum, is a heavily spiced sandalwood the likes of which you will not see twice in a lifetime — every sensual facet of sandalwood, darkened to the extreme.

Woody spicy

Pink pepper and Italian bergamot open the composition with a piquant sparkle. The heart reveals modern rose, patchouli, saffron and osmanthus, before a base of creamy Indian sandalwood, labdanum, smoky olibanum and liqueur-like rum.

Born from François Hénin's memory — the distillation of Mysore sandalwood, with its almost deafening milky notes — and signed by perfumer Amélie Bourgeois, Sombres Dessins is a strategist of emotions, always three moves ahead on the chessboard of feelings. A powerful extrait for strong characters, for autumn and winter. Made in France.

“Velvet armchairs, a muted ambiance, ancient furniture, a cosy, jazzy, speakeasy feel… a gentleman's perfume! A sandalwood, rum and tobacco accord. Labdanum and incense to accentuate the mystic side, ambery woods to keep the pace, and musks for harmony.” — Amélie Bourgeois - Amélie Bourgeois
