The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2010, Bouquet Ideale by Xerjoff is an Oriental Woody fragrance crafted by perfumer Jacques Flori. The composition opens with the warmth of cinnamon and nutmeg, adding a fresh spicy edge before diving into the rich heart of guaiac wood, sandalwood, and Virginia cedar. This woody core is further enriched by the balsamic notes of papyrus and French labdanum, while the base of vanille, coumarin, tobacco blossom, and musk creates an enveloping warmth that feels both familiar and luxurious.
Apply Bouquet Ideale in two light sprays — the cinnamon and nutmeg notes are quick to fade, but the rich woody base continues to develop throughout the day. It pairs well with an evening outfit, where its warmth can be appreciated close to the skin.
