Extrait de Parfum

The fading memory of a perfume once worn.

Elegy is an aromatic déjà vu where perfumed flowers swirl over elegantly powdered skin. There are beautiful contrasts woven throughout Elegy, expressing the soaring joys and deep sorrow that life entails.

Showcasing some of perfumery’s most prized materials, Elegy starts with a burst of earl-grey tinted Bergamot and Petitgrain accompanied by the gentle warmth of cognac-tinged Geranium. The resulting trichord shines so intensely before fading as quickly as it appeared, evolving into a mournful sigh of late summer Honeysuckle and pollen-drunk Heather Absolute.

Elegy fades to a luxurious swathe of exotic and precious absolutes, musk and slow-burning resins which undulate in perfect harmony – a nostalgic and graceful offering of remembrance. Enduring and resilient Hay absolute, aged Oud oil and cashmere-soft Patchouli absolute extend a comforting consolation.
