A bridge between haute perfumery and fine spirits

Cask aging

Two types of oak contribute their molecules: the new wood releases creamy lactones; the ex-cognac cask adds tannic, vanilla-tinged and lightly toasted notes, underscoring the amber dimension of the fragrance.

Equestrian heritage redefined

While the original Habit Rouge paid tribute to a rider's boots and saddles, Spirit trades part of the citrus verve for a syrupy woody elegance, reflecting an assured maturity.

Detailed olfactory pyramid

Top notes: bergamot & milky iris

A bright opening of Italian bergamot melts into the creamy velvet of a buttery iris, foreshadowing the powdery softness of the heart.

Heart notes: soft nutmeg & leather-iris

Softened nutmeg, subtle leather and buttery iris intertwine; the whole evokes supple gloves worn in the saddle.

Base notes: double vanilla & smoky oak

Two vanilla preparations (absolute and tincture) unite with a smoky oak accord, enriched with resinous sea-spray facets drawn from the barrel aging, for a long-lasting sillage.
