Potion Blue Cadet by DSQUARED² is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for men. Potion Blue Cadet was launched in 2013. The nose behind this fragrance is Mathilde Bijaoui. Top notes are Pink Grapefruit, Bergamot and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Hemlock and Balsam Fir; base notes are White Cedar Extract, Tonka Bean and Musk. DSQUARED² presents a fragrance for men and adds it to the collection called Potion. The fragrance was launched in 2013 in collaboration with perfumer Mathilde Bijaoui by transforming a color (Blue Cadet) into a fragrance. The perfumer was inspired by a specific shade of blue to create a charismatic blend of fresh and aromatic accords on a woody base. Special charm is provided to the edition by the unique woody note blue hemlock absolute which provides a woody-aromatic-fruity face to the fragrance, with additions of black currant. This ingredient was created by using the technique of molecular distillation at the Mane Company. Potion Blue Cadet arrives in a transparent flacon with bluish fluid and it is shaped like 2011 edition Potion. DSQUARED2 POTION BLUE CADET is available as 100 ml EDT, in an outer carton in blue, with a fine texture.

A Signature Fragrance

White Cedar Extract
White Cedar Extract emanates from the wood of North American cedar trees, its aroma is earthy and slightly sweet, with a hint of resinous freshness. This extract captures the essence of the forest floor, blending seamlessly into complex perfumery compositions to provide depth and character.

Tonka Bean
Tonka Bean, derived from the seeds of the Dipteryx odorata tree found in South America, brings an essence of vanilla with hints of almond and caramel. Its aroma is both warm and comforting, reminiscent of rich desserts yet grounded by a subtle earthiness that lends depth to any perfume.

Musk
Musk, once sourced from the musk deer and now often recreated synthetically, offers an earthy, slightly sweet aroma reminiscent of skin. Its versatility allows it to blend seamlessly into various fragrance families, from oriental to woody, enhancing their depth without overpowering them.
