The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Bertrand Duchaufour's Verve Matin, launched by Navitus Parfums in 2020, is a vibrant aromatic-green fragrance for both women and men. It opens with a burst of citrus notes — Sicilian lemon, orange, bergamot, and grapefruit — that create an invigorating freshness. As the scent develops, warm spices like cardamom, clary sage, juniper berries, bay leaf, and saffron add complexity and depth. The base notes of ambergris, myrrh, musk, cinnamon, and driftwood provide a grounding warmth, making Verve Matin an engaging blend that transitions seamlessly from day to night.

How to wear it

Apply Verve Matin directly to pulse points for a lingering effect. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, while the spicy and woody base notes continue to evolve throughout the day. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear when its fresh and vibrant character can shine.

Bertrand Duchaufour

The world traveler's nose

Bertrand Duchaufour is a perfumer-adventurer whose creations read like a travelogue of the senses. Trained at Roure (now Givaudan), his work draws deeply from his journeys through Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and sub-Saharan Africa.

“The art of perfumery must be at the same time, innovative, harmonius, and “sent bon”.”
