Olfactory Notes
Ingredients
This is simplicity in all its splendour. A reinvented eau de Cologne, formed around a bitter orange of exceptional quality - this essence, obtained by molecular distillation, reveals a cool and vibrant crystalline quality, along with a slight bitterness resembling the zest of the fruit. A jewel of lucidity that doesn’t need anything to dress it up: Jean-Claude Ellena has chosen pink peppercorns and cardamom to enhance its effervescence, with the elegance of cedar wood for a more lasting pleasure on your skin. A scent that is literally essential, naturally vibrant. For her, for him, anytime, anywhere.
Bitter orange, cardamom, pink peppercorn, cedar wood
Product Reference: #398200
Top Note: The initial impression of Bigarade Concentree is a burst of vibrant and refreshing bitter orange. This isn't a sweet citrus; instead, it presents a cool, crystalline quality with a slight zest-like bitterness. The pink peppercorns add a spicy, effervescent lift, creating an invigorating opening that awakens the senses.
Heart Note: As the initial citrus fades slightly, the heart of the fragrance unfolds with the aromatic spice of cardamom. This adds a warm, subtly sweet, and slightly woody facet that complements the bitter orange beautifully. The heart maintains the freshness of the opening while adding a touch of complexity and depth.
Base Note: The dry down of Bigarade Concentree is anchored by the elegant and grounding presence of cedar wood. This provides a lasting woody foundation that extends the longevity of the fragrance and adds a touch of sophistication. The cedarwood is clean and refined, ensuring the scent remains fresh and vibrant, rather than heavy or overpowering. It provides a subtle warmth that lingers on the skin.
