The masculine half of the X pair in the Original Collection, X Masculine tells, according to Clive Christian, the love story of Mark Antony and Cleopatra: a woody spicy perfume of 178 ingredients in which cardamom, pink pepper and ginger flare up before orris butter, a touch of jasmine and cinnamon, over a base of oakmoss, vetiver and vanilla.
Cardamom, oakmoss and orris: this trio sums up X Masculine for the house, a blend of extracts in which lively cardamom and fiery ginger melt into a smooth orris butter, lifted by a hint of jasmine before a base of oakmoss and vetiver.
Cardamom and ginger
In the top, cardamom, one of the rarest and most expensive spices in the world, joins, according to the house, fiery pink pepper, ginger and bergamot in an explosion that awakens the senses at once.
Iris, cinnamon and mosses
The heart draws from the iris, a symbol of strength, a rich, smooth and silky oil, vividly heightened by violet and cinnamon evoking the rich textures of an oriental bazaar.
In the base, vetiver and tree moss, coarser, are softened by vanilla and answer the warmth of cinnamon, for an earthy base reminiscent, the house says, of dewy ground at daybreak.
