French Bouquet

Aldehydes and bergamot give the opening its crisp snap, then rose, jasmine and orange Blossom spread the bouquet wide. Labdanum, tobacco and patchouli pull it into a dark, powdery chypre.

Calèche

An aldehydic chypre of restrained elegance, built around iris and oakmoss. Hermès's answer to N°5, drier.
