This fragrance was inspired by the charming portrait of the enchanting Madame Récamier, painted in 1805 by François Gérard and one of the iconic treasures of the Musée Carnavalet in Paris.
‘Bertrand Duchaufour is the perfumer, as he was for Chypre Palatin and La Belle Hélène, and here he has created what we think is a beautiful formula for us.’
The story behind the painting perfumes
"We asked perfumers to translate their ideas, feelings, images and emotions into fragrances inspired by a selection of carefully chosen masterpieces of painting. These paintings are the inspiration for four men's fragrances, which will later be followed by four women's fragrances based on four different paintings, some also from the Louvre, others from other collections.
Each painting evokes a specific character, era or mood (Venice, a battlefield, France, the English countryside, etc.) that each perfumer can use to express themselves.
