The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2025, Angélique Begum by Chopard is an Oriental Woody fragrance crafted by perfumer Dora Baghriche. It opens with the brightness of mandarin and pink pepper, transitioning into a heart of orange blossom and angelica before settling into a warm base of saffron, benzoin, patchouli, cedar, and Haitian vetiver. The composition balances citrus freshness with rich, woody warmth, creating a scent that is both uplifting and comforting.
Apply Angélique Begum in layers for maximum impact. The citrus top notes are vibrant but fleeting, so ensure that you allow enough time for the rich woody base to emerge. This fragrance reads better close to skin than across a room, making it ideal for intimate settings or personal wear.
