The story behind the bottle.
To My Father by Vilhelm Parfumerie, launched in 2022 and crafted by perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour, is an olfactory tribute to the essence of a distinguished individual. The composition opens with the bitter zest of orange and ambrette, creating a subtle tension that leads into the heart notes of whiskey and cade oil. These elements blend seamlessly into the base of leather, cabreuva wood, and oak tree, evoking a sense of warmth and depth reminiscent of cherished memories.
Apply two sprays to the pulse points for a lasting effect. The whiskey and citrus notes will fade within a couple of hours, but the base of leather and woody accords will linger throughout the day, making it perfect for an afternoon meeting or a dinner out.

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”.”
