They say it's the pillar of the world. Others whisper that it gives life. Hope has always been there, in the heart of humanity. As the third masterpiece in Dominique Ropion's Desert Gems collection, HOPE is an amber and woody fragrance that highlights the absolute nobility of an exceptional oud essence. The smoky and leathery notes of incense and vetiver blend with the spicy freshness of pink pepper, cypress, and juniper to reveal the oud in all its purity. A perfume of incomparable elegance.

I've searched for an orange blossom that isn't screechy or synthetic like many others. This is just divine. It’s so beautifully blended and smooth, with a warm, musky dry-down that lingers perfectly. A real step up in quality!

I’ve tried heaps of honey-based scents, and they often fall flat or are just too sweet. Contre-Jour is in another league. It has this incredible warmth and complexity that develops beautifully on the skin. A truly sophisticated and unique fragrance

The service from Beauty the shop was very good and i was happy . The fragrance was out of stock in Australia so was delighted to find onsite. The only negative was the tax which made the frag equal in price to other sites

Olfactory Notes
Ingredients
There’s a sensation of being enveloped in a luxurious, dimly lit space, where the air is thick with sophisticated warmth.
Patchouli lends an earthy richness, grounding the ethereal rose with a comforting, yet powerful presence. Wearing Contre-Jour instills a quiet confidence, a distinct aura that feels both intimate and commanding. It offers the benefit of leaving a memorable, elegant trace, a signature of refined taste. The scent is a personal declaration, a sophisticated embrace of one's own allure.
This exquisite perfume is ideally suited for evenings or moments when one desires to make a profound, understated statement. It lingers beautifully, a soft, amber-kissed echo on the skin, a testament to enduring elegance long after the initial application.

Top Note: The initial impression of Contre-Jour is a burst of bright and sparkling honey, immediately capturing attention with its sweet and slightly floral character. This is complemented by a subtle hint of bergamot, adding a citrusy zest that prevents the honey from becoming too cloying. The overall effect is luminous and inviting.
Heart Note: As the top notes mellow, the heart reveals a sophisticated blend of orange blossom and ylang-ylang. The orange blossom provides a delicate floral sweetness, while the ylang-ylang adds a creamy, exotic touch. These floral elements are carefully balanced, creating a complex and intriguing core that embodies the perfume's character. A hint of cinnamon provides warmth and spice.
Base Note: The drydown is a warm and sensual embrace of vanilla and cashmeran. The vanilla provides a comforting sweetness, while the cashmeran adds a musky, woody depth that lingers on the skin. These base notes create a lasting impression of sophistication and elegance, ensuring the fragrance remains captivating for hours. A touch of musk enhances the longevity and adds a subtle animalic quality.
