Floral Musky Fruity
“Within our first fragrance collection, we wanted a really universal expression. The words that came to mind were: easy, comfortable, urban, sophisticated, chic, easy to understand…
A generous fragrance built around woods, flowers and a sensual touch. So a luminous chypre structure came to mind. Musky notes were de rigueur here, and so was an elegant touch of rose and amber. But the initial seriousness of the accord disappeared when colorful but subtle fruit accents were added: they were here to stay.
So just like PASSION VICTIM reflects the heady languor of Paris in the 20s, this attractive composition evokes the speed and the sophistication of today’s New York. A human silhouette dashing through the cityscape, a trail of a perfume filled with an urbane, civilized feeling. The ultimate expression of effortless chic.”
SENSUAL, WARM, UNCTUOUS AND VELVETY, THIS FRAGRANCE EVOLVES AND SPIRALS LIKE A FRAGRANT VOLUTE OF SMOKE. AN OPULENT FLORAL HEART ADD TO THE INTRIGUE AND THE ATTRACTION IS NO OTHER THAN FATAL.
DARK AND ENLIGHTENED AT THE SAME TIME, THIS STUNNING PERFUME PLAYS WITH CONTRASTS LIKE NO OTHER: A FRAGRANT CHIAROSCURO, BOTH ENIGMATIC AND ELEGANT, GLISTENING AND SOMBER AT THE SAME TIME, LIKE A HIDE OF THE SHINIEST BLACK LEATHER.
“There’s a well know Caribbean spice called pimento that has the endearing name of allspice in English. I have always found this name quite curious and for a good reason: when the spice was brought to England, everyone had trouble describing it as it had fragrances of clove, pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg wrapped all together in one!
As a perfumer, I am very fond of spices. They are full of nobility. No wonder why we are always looking for the spice of life!… So I wanted Wilgermain to have a very spicy fragrance in its repertoire. And here it is!
For this fragrance, I wanted to explore this allspice concept using a myriad of different spices that together would deliver a totally new, unknown spice aroma. A special quality of pepper from Nepal brought that extra punch that I was looking for.”
