The Fragrance
Intense Red Edition, an original reinterpretation of one of the noblest ingredients in perfumery – Amber – owes its unmistakable sillage to a deep ambery-leathery harmony. Magnetic and sensual, the fragrance opens with the elegance of bergamot and jasmine tea. In the heart, the alluring and mysterious oriental rose plays with the luminosity of mother-of-pearl hibiscus and jasmine, giving life to intriguing contrasts. The dry-down, dominated by the scent of leather and the blend of amber and woods, unveils Red Edition’s intoxicating energy: rock soul, refined and bold.

Laurent Bruyere
Since he was a child, Laurent was keen to discover how things were made, going well beyond the first impression. This curiosity leads him to undertake Biochemistry studies, successfully completed. At the age of 16, during his studies, he approaches the world of perfumery staring at a lady who was mixing ingredients to create an Eau de Cologne. He began study as a self-taught the greatest fragrances of the past, trying to reproduce and reinterpret them, creating new concepts. He worked along other creators, like Dominique Ropion, his mentor over the years of collaboration with IFF, creating iconic fragrances.
Signature note: AMBERGRIS
Smell: amber, musky, animal, marine powdery (seaweed)
Origin: Gray amber, not to be confused with yellow amber (fossilized resin of vegetable origin), is secreted by the Sperm Whale, which then releases it into the sea, where it must remain for a long time before releasing its characteristic smell. Considered as precious as gold, it has been traded since 1000 BC. Ambergris is sourced in New Caledonia, where it runs aground on the beach during floods.
Extraction: it is used as an infusion, tincture or extract. Nowadays it is almost entirely recreated with other natural raw materials.
