Launched in 2010 by Andrea Maack, Sharp is an Oriental Floral fragrance for both women and men. The composition opens with a bright citrus note that cuts through the richness of its heart and base. The white floral notes blend seamlessly with vanilla and musky accords, creating a warm and enveloping scent. Adding depth are powdery and soapy nuances, alongside subtle animalic undertones that add an intriguing complexity.

Application Tips
One or two sprays are sufficient — the initial brightness of the citrus fades quickly but leaves behind a lingering warmth. This fragrance is best for daytime wear when its subtle nuances can be fully appreciated.

Julien Rasquinet’s life took a decisive turn when his father met nose extraordinaire Pierre Bourdon, by accident in an airport. Rasquinet who didn’t know anything about perfumery beyond his own passion for it, called Bourdon, who decided to take him instead of thousands of other candidates to be his last student, and bare his legacy, as Edmond Roudnitska had done with him. Call it perfumer’s intuition.
