Vanilla Azure
Head southward. Set sail. Drift away from the shore and into a trail of scent. It carries the soft sounds of bodies moving through summer and velvety labdanum. Welcome the sight of a little fishing harbour turned movie backdrop. Follow the echo of a shell. Let your eyes drink in this placid port of pink peppercorns, the Golfe d’Azur and French Riviera, recalling all the legendary scenes, dreams of patchouli and jasmine-eyed actresses. Suddenly, in the course of the voyage, nature takes the leading role. A magnificent lighthouse appears, its giant light projected on Cap Camarat through a mirage of benzoin. Golden rocks jut out in a freeform filigree while the sparkling, blue expanse prevails over the shady pines. Cashmeran laps like the waves. You daydream all the while in sandalwood and amyris on the pontoon of a boat, delighting in a dip that offers the briskness of a fruity accord. Your skin tingles, then, with the mighty Mediterranean sun – a tacit agreement between ylang-ylang essence and Madagascan vanilla absolute. You reconnect with languid leisure and the simple, comforting joy of an ocean horizon. Blue on blue on a backdrop of paradise.
Perfumer's inspiration
“I imagined Cap Camarat like the sun’s rays beckoning us into a caress of light on the skin. I wanted to create a radiant, joyous fragrance that would enfold the wearer in a sensual, tender, deliciously addictive cloud. My hope was to let the fragrance merge with the skin, becoming almost second nature. It enshrouds the wearer in optimism, imbuing gentle joy and leaving a luminous trail in their every step, akin to a promise of eternal summer.”

Ylang ylang, Vanilla absolute & Amyris essence
The first notes burst forth in an overture of instant effervescence, with pink peppercorns, crisp apples and luscious fruits practically fizzing with luminous radiance. Then comes the opulent, precious heart, which melds Chinese imperial Sambac jasmine with meltingly soft crystallised vanilla, warming benzoin and ambery labdanum to lend a noble, solar indulgence. Lastly, the fragrance alights gently on the skin. Velvety sandalwood, deep patchouli and gorgeously enveloping musk seal this suspended moment in a warm, near-palpable embrace, which follows you in the hollow of the neck like a fond memory.
