Dolce Amalfi, the new Berdoues Eau de Parfum. Travel and natural resources are an inexhaustible source of creativity for perfumers. Indeed, it is by traveling the world that they set out in search of new scents. From there, perfumes have the gift of transporting us elsewhere with a single breath.
Berdoues's Colognes Grands Crus collection has the gift of taking us on a journey through time and space. Indeed, each of the fragrances making up this assemblage draws inspiration from the eaux de Cologne of the past. The result is always timeless, fresh fragrances. At the same time, the Colognes Grands Crus also draw inspiration from a specific region of the globe. In 2022, the focus is on the Amalfi Coast, located in southern Italy. Here is what the Dolce Amalfi fragrance by Berdoues, created by perfumer Mylène Alran, is composed of.
Lemon, the first element of Dolce Amalfi's top notes
Dolce Amalfi by Berdoues is a resolutely Italian fragrance. This is noticeable right from its top notes. Indeed, its formula relies on one of the country's most emblematic ingredients: lemon. As a reminder, Italy is the world's leading citrus producer. Although its surface area is far smaller than that of Mexico, this country remains well ahead in the ranking, just ahead of its main South American rival. Thus, when walking through Italy, it is not uncommon to see immense fields of lemon trees, particularly in the south of the country, near Sicily and along the Amalfi Coast. In this fragrance, the evocation of these landscapes is immediate. Lemon gives off a tangy, zesty breath along the way. It makes for an airy, light composition, very pleasant to wear during hot summer days.
Dolce Amalfi by Berdoues and its patchouli heart
Quickly, the fruity freshness of lemon is counterbalanced by the deeper, more sustained presence of patchouli. An essential raw material in perfumery, this woody-noted element appears just as much in feminine as in masculine fragrances. It therefore suits Dolce Amalfi perfectly, as it is a unisex fragrance. Patchouli is known for its rather dark aromatic note, full of character. Here, it acts as a support for the whole fragrance and captivates with its rich, charismatic sensuality. After all, Mediterranean men and women have strong character. This is therefore also noticeable in their fragrance!
Virginia cedar to close Dolce Amalfi's formula
Finally, Dolce Amalfi by Berdoues ends with one last flagship scent from the perfumer's palette: cedar. Very often, this wood from the United States is paired with patchouli. This pairing brings a warm sensation here. Virginia cedar delivers a dry, woody breath. Moreover, many people associate it with an olfactory memory: that of the pencils used as children.
Highly contrasted, Dolce Amalfi by Berdoues delivers a sun-kissed scent. It is like a floral interlude along the Amalfi Coast. Its fresh, feminine breath carries us delicately along the shores of the Mediterranean. It is an invitation to walk in the shade of lemon trees on a beautiful summer day.
