Scherrer 2 Jean-Louis Scherrer 1986 Eau de Toilette
Tuberose, violet leaf, jasmine and rose open in a dense, almost overpowering bouquet, the violet leaf adding a sap-green bitterness that cuts the floral richness without diminishing it.

By the editors · 2 min readTuberose, violet leaf, jasmine and rose open in a dense, almost overpowering bouquet, the violet leaf adding a sap-green bitterness that cuts the floral richness without diminishing it. The opening signals a serious, formal composition.
Cinnamon, mysore sandalwood, myrrh and cedar build a warm, smoky-resinous heart underneath the flowers, where the cinnamon glows and the myrrh contributes a dark balsamic edge. The contrast of bright floral and dark resin is the perfume's central tension.
Oakmoss, civet, benzoin, opoponax, patchouli, castoreum and musk close in an animalic chypre base — thick, smoky, slightly leathery from the castoreum. The overall character is an opulent floral-chypre oriental, formal and dramatic, suited to cold-weather evening wear.
