A Floral, Musky fragrance evoking endless love, imagined as the extension of a kiss by master perfumer Dominique Ropion for D'Orsay. Your search for eternal love is finally coming to an end. With this perfume, surrender to this radiant union and celebrate the iris and musk intertwining of your two bodies and souls.
Dominique Ropion imagined the fragrance Sur tes lèvres. E.Q. to illustrate the sensation of abandoning one's lips to another through exceptional raw materials. The iris, this perfumery treasure at the heart of the fragrance, comes from the LMR Naturals palette.
The words of the perfumer
“With the fragrance Sur tes lèvres. E.Q. I wanted to illustrate the sublime sensation of abandoning one's lips to another. I built a musky floral fragrance around the airy, silky tones of iris with a luminous jasmine. In the background, to reinforce the sensuality of this creation, I worked on a trio of vibrant woody and amber notes.” — Dominique Ropion
Declaration of Love
All my life I’ve searched for the eternal love: the love that would finally calm the amber and iris storm brewing in my heart. Our velvety-soft first kiss and the vibrant aura of cashmeran and jasmine surrounding you has me convinced. My search is finally coming to an end. On your lips, I finally surrender to our radiant union and celebrate the irresistible and musky intertwining of our bodies and souls.
Creation
The Iris concrete and resinoid LMR from Iris pallida (sourced in France) and Iris germanica were used by Dominique Ropion in the composition of Sur tes lèvres E.Q. The two extracts are obtained from dried rhizomes which are then ground to obtain Iris powder. From this powder, two treatments are available to the perfumer to extract the odorant compounds from the rhizomes: The hydrodistillation which will give the concrete of Iris, and the extraction which will allow the Iris Pallida to become resin and to bring notes going of the cocoa until fruity tonalities.
Evocation
D'Orsay imagines special fragrances, evoking the universality of the state of love and exploring its many facets: caring love, free, paradoxical, ardent, adventurous, tender, striking, impulsive, sincere, spiritual, secret, tactile, unwavering… D'Orsay perfumes are designed for couples, echoing the first historic fragrance designed in 1830 by Alfred D'Orsay for him and Marguerite Blessington. Each creation is named after an index sentence, signed with the initials of a personality whose identity is left to the imagination of each.
