Vibrant Odyssey

Set off for Ithaca, that mythical island in the Ionian Sea, home to the epic tale of Ulysses and Penelope. An island of encounters at the heart of the archipelago, where the strength of cedar, vivacity of bergamot and sweetness of blackcurrant come together as one.

About the flacon: the plate of Ithaque is inspired by a typical life scenery from ancient Greece, where nature is blooming at every corner.

Vibrant Odyssey

A coveted destination if ever there was one, it embodies in itself the ultimate travel experience. This Ionian island is inseparable from Ulysses, the hero of Greek mythology who took more than ten years to reach his home, through a journey narrated in Homer's Odyssey. Imagining its perfume means overcoming obstacles, creating the formula capable of charming creatures, divinities and chimeras, but above all of ravishing a cherished skin, to better rediscover it. Land in sight! The sea spray heckles the air, gives the energy necessary to complete the crossing. It needs the invigorating force, the inviting song of citrus fruits. Oils of Italian bergamot, bitter orange and Italian mandarin. A first flight, tonic and green. The slight relief of the island becomes clear. With temperament and conviction, here are the spices and berries: black pepper oil from Madagascar, pink pepper, Timut pepper oil from Nepal, juniper berries. The emotional memory of the reunion to come is celebrated with fruits and flowers: blackcurrant bud absolute, redcurrant accord, raspberry note, Egyptian jasmine absolute. The earth is firm again and the joy of reconnecting with this vegetal and woody emotion that says homecoming. A rounder, more caressing feeling emerges. Cedarwood oil from Texas, patchouli from Indonesia. Ithaca, at last.

Bergamot

A unique process is used to lastingly capture the vibrant citrus note from the coveted green rind of the fresh Italian bergamot. A network of dedicated growers guarantees the quality of the harvests from November to February..

Perfumer's inspiration

"I have kept such a vivid memory of the smell of fresh almonds in summer, very much linked to holidays and carefree happiness . I love the crunchy, green natural feeling, the slightly floral facets and also the delicate milky sensation. I have enjoyed dearly working on this perfume trying to recreate this strong memory of happiness and joy."
