Launched in 2010 by L'Artisan Parfumeur and crafted by perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour, Traversee du Bosphore is a rich blend of sweet, leather, and spicy notes. The fragrance opens with the freshness of red apple and pomegranate, giving way to a heart of iris, saffron, pink tulip, and tobacco. A warm base of nougat, sugar, white honey, pistachio, rose, and musk completes this complex composition. Traversee du Bosphore captures the essence of a journey through Istanbul's bustling streets — vibrant, rich, and deeply evocative.

Application Tips
This fragrance is best applied in two light sprays — it blooms over an hour to reveal its full complexity. It's particularly well-suited for cooler evenings when you want a scent that stays close to your skin rather than projecting into a room.
