Application Tips
One or two sprays are sufficient — the citrus and green top notes are bright but don't last long. The floral and woody base notes take center stage after about an hour and continue to evolve throughout the day, so it's best applied close to skin for a more intimate experience.

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.

The story behind the bottle.
The crisp scent of rain-soaked earth as you step out after a downpour, where the air is filled with the mingling notes of fresh florals and damp soil.
