For this new interpretation of a classic, Bruno Jovanovic has tackled a monument of perfumery: patchouli. This sensual and elegant ingredient makes up 50% of his unique formula, which features a mandarin opening infused with rum absolute. A significant dose of cedar, suede, and incense gives it a mystical vibration, while a touch of modern amber lends it a darker dimension. A trace of vanilla and musk binds the composition together and rounds off its edges.

The Perfumer : Bruno Jovanovic
Bruno Jovanovic is one of the most gifted perfumers of his generation, a rising star of perfumery. During a visit to a department store, he discovered a world that fascinated him and decided to make it his profession. He joined the famous perfumery school in Versailles, ISIPCA, where he became one of its top students. Now a senior perfumer at IFF, he embraces Kant’s philosophy that “the beautiful is that which, apart from concepts, is represented as the object of a universal satisfaction.” Bruno Jovanovic is a dreamer who imagines that a given perfume could be conceived from the impression left by a painting, a piece of music, or even certain words.
