Notes Pyramid
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022 by Jacques Huclier, XX Artisan Teal is a fresh interpretation of the aromatic aquatic genre. The fragrance opens with a zesty lemon and pink pepper, creating an invigorating contrast to its heart notes of rosemary and water lily. This marine accord, underscored by sea salt, gives way to a woody base of driftwood and musk, evoking the essence of coastal breezes on sun-drenched shores. It is designed for those who appreciate crisp freshness without sacrificing depth.
Apply two sprays to each wrist and let it dry naturally. The marine and woody base notes develop slowly over time, so avoid reapplying too frequently. This fragrance reads best close to the skin rather than in a wide sillage.
