The story behind the bottle.
Virtus, crafted by Bertrand Duchaufour and launched in 2019 by Navitus Parfums, is a warm spicy fragrance that weaves together rich honey, tobacco, and woody notes into an enveloping blend. The opening with nutmeg, cardamom, and saffron creates a complex aromatic blend that evolves into a heart of fig nectar, mango, and beeswax, adding layers of sweetness and depth. As the fragrance settles, it reveals a base of tobacco, ambergris, and musk, grounding the composition in earthy warmth.
Apply Virtus in light layers; the warm spices and tobacco notes can be quite potent. It develops best close to skin, making it ideal for intimate settings or evening wear where its complexity shines.

Bertrand Duchaufour
The world traveler's noseBertrand 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”.”
