Pastiche Court

Top notes

At the top, cardamom, basil, anise and bitter almond compose a spicy and aromatic opening. Bitter almond extends the impression of dried fruits that the house evokes in its description, while anise and basil bring a green, anisic freshness.

Heart notes

The heart brings together a note named “pastiche,” sugar and cashmere wood. The “pastiche” note, which echoes the name of Pastiche Court, has no equivalent among common raw materials; sugar softens the accord, and cashmere wood gives it a woody texture.

Base notes

The base gathers patchouli, woods, tonka bean, amber, vetiver, vanilla and musk. Patchouli and vetiver pull the accord toward an earthy woodiness, while tonka bean, vanilla and amber steer it toward a gourmand sweetness.
