The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017 by Zadig & Voltaire, Tome 1 La Pureté is a unisex Oriental Woody fragrance that revives the house's original unisex scent. The composition opens with bright bergamot before transitioning to a heart of milk and patchouli, creating an intriguing contrast between freshness and warmth. The base note of sandalwood grounds the scent, adding depth and a touch of earthiness. This fragrance is part of a collection that includes two other unisex editions — Tome 2 La Légèreté and Tome 3 L'Être — each designed to capture distinct moods and moments.
Apply two sprays for moderate longevity and sillage. The fresh spicy top note fades quickly, but the lactonic heart and woody base provide lasting warmth throughout the day.
