The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2017 by Zadig & Voltaire, Tome 3 L'Être is an Oriental Floral fragrance that exalts the ambiguity of adulthood. The composition features Damask rose intertwined with labdanum to create a scent that balances both light and dark notes, making it simultaneously floral and spicy. Cashmere wood provides warm undertones, adding depth and complexity to this unisex perfume. Its weak longevity and moderate sillage make it a subtle yet powerful presence on the skin.

How to wear it

Given its weak longevity and moderate sillage, apply Tome 3 L'Être in layers for a more lasting effect. Start with one spray to the pulse points, then add another layer after an hour if you want it to linger longer throughout the day.
