Composition & Character
Notes Pyramid
How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance
Immortelle
Immortelle, also known as helichrysum, is a sun-drenched flower with a honeyed sweetness and subtle medicinal notes. Its essence captures the heat of summer fields in Southern France, where it thrives under relentless sun. The oil extracted from its tiny yellow flowers carries an intense aroma that has been prized for centuries.
Leather
Leather is more than just an aroma; it’s a texture, a memory of old books or vintage leather goods. Its scent can be earthy and warm, sometimes tinged with the subtle smokiness of tanning processes, evoking a sense of heritage and craftsmanship.
French labdanum
French labdanum is harvested from the sticky leaves and stems of rockrose shrubs found across Mediterranean landscapes. Its scent is reminiscent of warm amber with hints of vanilla and pine, offering a rugged yet refined aroma that can be both comforting and mysterious.

Layer With
Fragrances that pair well with 1740 Marquis de Sade
Leather Peach Musk
Coach Floral Blush's grapefruit, peony and peach bring fruity brightness to 1740's smoky leather and birch, and since both sit at comparable strength, neither overwhelms the other. Musk on the Coach side and vanilla on the Marquis side meet in the middle, keeping the base soft.
Apply both fragrances one after the other without waiting, letting the fruity musk and smoky leather blend evenly rather than layering in stages.
