Bertrand Duchaufour has achieved a completely original creation here, whose sumptuousness is perhaps overshadowing its delicious side. Like a fabric, a rich velvet or an antique embroidered silk, but also, in a completely different register, like a grandmother's dessert, a nostalgic evocation of lost paradises but also a true pleasure that can be worn on a daily basis. Bertrand Duchaufour explores a rarely taken path here, starting with transparent and delicate pear accords to combine them with one of the most beautiful raw materials: osmanthus. Pear accord, osmanthus, licorice wood (the licorice wood accord coming from the presence of woody notes), moss, myrrh associated with certain base components characteristic of the licorice note for this floral fruity woody chypre.

Cuir Beluga by Guerlain is an elegant, soft vanilla wrapped in suede-like leather and delicate spices. The best vanilla perfume I’ve ever tried - warm, powdery, and quietly luxurious.
Reasona has a pine-dominant opening, evoking forest woodlands, but as it dries down it reveals a subtly warm and resinous depth. The interplay of woods and spice creates an almost hypnotic quality that keeps drawing you back. It’s so smooth, almost buttery, and the high quality of the ingredients is undeniable.
