L'Heure Exquise

Cardamom and bergamot strike first—bright, spiced warmth that softens as neroli blooms. The heart arrives dense and intoxicating: Indian jasmine yields to camphor's cool, medicinal clarity, while jasmine sambac, myrrh, and champaca layer into a creamy, almost chocolatey depth. Cedar and cypriol oil ground the middle notes in earthy austerity. As it settles, styrax and tolu balsam emerge honeyed and resinous, anchored by oud's dark, animalic presence and a whisper of ambergris. L'Heure Exquise closes on a warm, bittersweet base where leather-like oud and creamy amber settle into skin.
