A perfume found in the Galion archives. An unsigned creation dating from the years 1930-1935 forgotten in a box.
A new page in the history of the Maison de Parfumerie Le Galion which opens like a relay between the past and the future. A rewriting of this perfume discovered in the orientalist and sensual scents of the time, giving free rein to inspiration for a captivating and carnal creation built around an oriental amber accord.
A surprising and tender start with its floral notes of violet and its scents of slightly sweet Cashmere wood. Duality comes into action with the ancient aromatic balsamic accords, combining myrrh and styrax, opposed to modern swirls of white musk. The sweet balsamic notes continue in the background to help us discover the subtlety of sandalwood and the refinement of leather in its greatest tradition.
