The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018 by Caron and crafted by perfumer Richard Fraysse, Pour Une Femme is a reimagining of the house's legacy with a modern touch. The composition opens with green mandarin and orange blossom, creating an initial burst of freshness that transitions into a heart of rose and benzoin. Incense adds a smoky depth to this floral-amber blend, while amber rounds out the base notes for warmth and longevity. This fragrance embodies the enduring elegance Caron is known for, but with a contemporary twist.
Pour Une Femme requires just one or two sprays for optimal wear. The green mandarin and orange blossom opening is bright but fleeting, so it's best applied with the intention that the deeper rose and smoky incense notes will carry through as the day progresses.
