Hoja de Cuba

This is precisely the image that the house of Berdoues delivers this time. The house has chosen to expand its Collection des Grands Crus with a brand new perfume. This one aims to be impertinent and spirited. It is called Hoja De Cuba.

Berdoues's Collection des Grands Crus

Founded in 1902 in Toulouse, the house of Berdoues is today one of the most emblematic houses of our French heritage. It has managed to preserve its full authenticity and its original values while advancing its expertise year after year. Also, as if to pay tribute to the beginnings of modern perfumery, Berdoues has crafted a Collection des Grands Crus deeply inspired by colognes of old. As Pierre Berdoues explains, a perfume is like a musical chord, harmony results from a perfect composition of low and high notes. A perfumer is a composer who plays with essences the way a musician plays with notes. Thus, the house has worked toward this end and crafts perfumes with the same expertise as a winemaker elaborating a Grand Cru. Moreover, each fragrance in the Collection des Grands Crus symbolizes a place on the globe. This time, it is to the heart of Cuba that Berdoues's new perfume leads us. Hoja De Cuba is a fragrance that does not lack character. It displays its impertinence from the outset and proves as warm as it is bewitching.

Hoja De Cuba, a perfume full of spirit

Hoja De Cuba was created by a perfumer still fairly little known on the international scene. She is called Aya Ayo, and the least one can say is that she does not lack audacity. The composition of Hoja De Cuba is quite original, to say the least. This fragrance rests on a fairly simple recipe and brings together several accords that are most often found in the base notes of perfumes. Thus, Hoja De Cuba opens with a very spicy note. Then, its heart becomes darker and more structured. It brims with woody notes dominated by the presence of vetiver. Finally, it is one of the most emblematic scents of Cuba that takes over: that of tobacco. Indeed, who has never heard of the famous Cuban cigars? Hoja De Cuba is a very warm perfume that beautifully reflects the summery atmosphere of this place combined with the generosity of its people. Far more than a simple scent, Hoja De Cuba is a true journey into the heart of the Caribbean.
