The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012, Tome 1 La Purete For Him Collector by Zadig & Voltaire is an Oriental Woody fragrance crafted by Nathalie Lorson. The composition begins with the bright zest of bergamot and orange blossom, giving way to a heart of almond and tonka bean that adds a nutty sweetness. As it settles, woody notes like guaiac wood and patchouli mingle with warm spices and white musk, creating a complex yet balanced scent that reads as both sophisticated and comforting.
This fragrance has moderate longevity and sillage, so aim for one or two sprays to let it develop naturally on your skin. The initial citrus-aromatic notes are bright but blend into the heart and base within an hour, making it ideal for daytime wear.
