Young Man French Surfeur by IKKS: head for the Atlantic coast! While it is very common for adult men and women to wear fragrance, this everyday gesture is much less widespread among children. Yet IKKS did not hesitate to embark on this adventure. Since 2003, this playful and creative house has been intoxicating us with its fresh scents for boys and girls alike.
The Young Man and Little Woman fragrances by IKKS were both born in 2003 and literally won over the young public. Thus, buoyed by their success, they have already been reinvented several times. Yet each of them remains a call to escape and travel. The new Young Man Français Surfeur by IKKS is no exception to this rule. Moreover, this is felt from the very sight of its bottle. In a turquoise hue, it evokes the beauty of an ocean lagoon. So, what about its formula?
The highly zesty opening of Young Man Français Surfeur by IKKS
Young Man Français Surfeur by IKKS opens with an intense freshness. Thus, it offers young boys boundless energy. What is more, it is an excellent choice to accompany the hottest summer days. Young Man Français Surfeur thus preserves a certain lightness, without ever becoming heady. First, it relies on the slightly bitter breath of bergamot, a Mediterranean fruit resulting from the crossing of the bitter orange tree and the lemon tree. Lemon is also present. However, for a tangier rendering, it is lime. Finally, the whole is also paired with grapefruit. Unmistakably, in its top notes, Young Man Français Surfeur by IKKS unfolds a certain bitterness.
The fruity, anise-tinged heart of Young Man Français Surfeur by IKKS
In the heart of this fragrance, the fruity side is preserved. However, the bitterness is replaced by a juicier, sweeter facet. This sensation comes from an addition of green apple. However, do not think that IKKS opts for simplicity by turning solely toward a touch of gourmand character. In reality, it is also a masculine fragrance that does not lack bite, and this is felt in a colder, spicier contribution of cardamom. Star anise, for its part, gives the whole a more anise-like touch, a rather rare thing in children’s perfumery, worth noting.
The amber, woody base notes of Young Man Français Surfeur by IKKS
Young Man Français Surfeur by IKKS ultimately gains in persistence at the level of its olfactory base. Little by little, it becomes more mineral, as though sea spray were crashing against the high cliffs of the Atlantic coast. This minerality is present thanks to a touch of amber. To preserve a certain childlike softness, IKKS adds sandalwood, an enveloping and slightly milky raw material. Finally, Little Woman Français Surfeuse by IKKS closes with a final scent of white musks, a guarantee of persistence, luminosity, and purity.
In order to preserve the fragility of children’s skin, but also to spare resources, Young Man Français Surfeur by IKKS contains 96.4% raw materials of natural origin. It is therefore a fragrance more respectful of the body and skin, working toward healthier and more responsible creations.
