The textured, dark sillage of Adjatay Cuir Narcotique

Adjatay Cuir Narcotique displays a mysterious and carnal sensuality. This juice is what one might call a forbidden gourmand character. It is at once soft and powerful, innocent and warm. Like the forgotten flower at the bottom of a bag that refuses to die and awakens its fragrant notes upon contact with leather, Adjatay Cuir Narcotique comes across as a fragrance fascinating in its poetry.

She says she has always loved working with leathery notes, because they have a carnal facet and the possibilities are immense. For the launch of Adjatay Cuir Narcotique, she chose to reveal to us a thicker, darker and more textured leather. To do this, she chose to pair it with styrax essence as well as castoreum, ingredients of uncommon animalic character. Cypriol, for its part, lends the whole composition a spicier impertinence. A tuberose is nonetheless added, making the whole even more subversive. The fusion between these ingredients is absolutely perfect and the harmony exquisite. Likewise, the whole is freshened by a touch of mandarin, while ylang-ylang lends its exotic character. Adjatay Cuir Narcotique proves to be a perfectly balanced juice, giving rise to an instant addiction in its wake.
