Description
Marked by the lightness, transparency and freshness that are characteristic of an Eau de Cologne, Frédéric Malle's original composition by Jean-Claude Ellena is transcended by the addition of a novel bitter orange essence, obtained by molecular distillation. Built on a singular bitter freshness, an excess of citric notes, a touch of rose and a woody base of hay and cedar reinforce its unique and natural structure. More perfuming than Cologne Bigarade, Bigarade Concentrée exudes a lasting natural freshness. Born into a family of perfumers from Grasse, Jean-Claude Ellena was introduced to the art of developing fragrances as a teenager. Self-taught, he defines his creations as a "poetry of memory." Everyday smells; wax floors, clean sheets, skin, an old sweater - are his greatest inspiration. His signature is simple, minimalist and modern, with his style often compared to watercolours or chamber music. Combining beauty, simplicity and convenience, the 30ml spray offers Frédéric Malle's signature uncompromising perfume in a compact size whilst drawing aesthetic inspiration from 20th century conceptual art and modernist design. In the spirit of Bauhaus, form follows function: a simple black cylinder in high shine polyethylene plastic with a matte anodised metal centre and magnetic cap. A most practical host for perfumes, both at home and on the go. Top notes: bitter orange (bigarade), cardamom, pink pepper Base notes: cedar£40 per 10.00ml
