Le Temps des Conquêtes

This fragrance speaks of inner structure, of elegance shaped by noble and classical ingredients taken into a new modernity, a fougère usually typically masculine but taken into a new and unexpected dimension, to be loved universally.

From the very start, the composition opens with a feeling of energy and exactitude. Bergamot and lemon provide a sharp, clean freshness, bright and immediate. A note of thyme brings a green clarity, while peppercorn adds a subtle tension.
The result is a vegetal brightness, structured and firm, that sets the tone.

At its core lies the black tea accord. Dry, refined, and slightly smoky, it anchors the composition with modernity. The tea note is not aromatic in the usual sense, it is textured, almost mineral, and brings a distinctive tension to the classic fougère form. Around it, lavender offers a familiar calm, restrained and balanced. Myrrh adds warmth and roundness, a resinous depth that evokes polished wood and well-worn leather. Ambroxan diffuses the heart with elegance, giving the fragrance its smooth continuity.

The base is built to last, rich but never heavy. Olibanum brings a clear resinous brightness, reinforcing the verticality of the structure. Patchouli, carefully selected, avoids any earthiness and instead adds a dry, leathery refinement, softened and clean.

A final blend of benzoin and vanilla smooths the composition, lending it a sense of ease and resolution, without masking its structure.
