The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016 by Goutal and crafted by Mathieu Nardin, Tenue de Soirée is an elegant composition that captures the essence of a sophisticated evening. The fragrance opens with bright black currant and bergamot, giving way to a heart of iris, rose, and jasmine. The base notes of patchouli, caramel, leather, and white musk create a warm, earthy depth that feels both intimate and alluring.

How to wear it

Apply a light spritz to your pulse points; the black currant top note is fleeting but leaves behind a trail of warm powdery and earthy notes that last throughout the evening. Best for cooler evenings when the warmth of patchouli and caramel can fully unfold.
