Editor’s note pending — every credited perfumer eventually gets a written profile here.
The compositions
Psychedelique
The name sets up expectations the fragrance doesn't quite fulfill — Psychédélique is less hallucinatory than the title suggests, more a dark, slow-burning rose-amber in the mode of perfumery that uses weight rather than strangeness to distinguish itself.
Bouquet Ideale
The opening is direct and warm—cinnamon and nutmeg announce themselves without sweetness, more like dried spice bark than pastry.
Do Re
La Liturgie des Heures
The opening feels like stepping into a stone chapel at dawn—cool air, faint traces of last night's censers still lingering.
Mi Fa
The Library Collection Opus IV
The opening is all citrus brightness—lemon and grapefruit delivered with a crystalline clarity that feels more archival than cheerful.
Ivoire
Ivoire arrives with the green precision of the classic chypre school — violet leaf and galbanum opening into a cool, slightly vegetal freshness that belongs to an earlier decade of femininity.
