L'Initial

The perfume of first times

The adrenaline, the thrill of discovery makes her blush with pleasure… At the dawn of her life as a woman, still innocent but already daring, she is about to plunge into a new mystery, that of the powers of femininity. In this adventure, a perfume follows her: L'Initial, a fragrance that suggests the entrance into a new world; the passage into adulthood. It is for his young niece that Thierry Wasser composed this luminous floral amber, inspired by the unforgettable Shalimar. Under a shower of citrus and jasmine, a heart of rose and iris pallida blooms, caressed by vanilla: in the freshness of a barely sketched sensuality, L'Initial writes the legend of a young girl dreaming of her first love.

The legend of first love, trembling with rose, iris and vanilla

L'Initial sparkles with a hint of citrus and already a shower of petals from a highly fragrant jasmine takes shape. The heart unfolds around an absolute of rose and an iris pallida used in overdose. The indulgent and tender base revels in a velvety vanilla, drapes itself in caramel and softens with a delicately sweet tonka bean. And joining it, gossamer-light, a cloud of white musks.

L'INITIAL OFFERS THE CHANCE TO REDISCOVER THE SILLAGE OF SHALIMAR WITHOUT ITS OPULENT SENSUALITY, WHILE PRESERVING ITS SPIRIT AND ITS UNFORGETTABLE SIGNATURE. AS A TRIBUTE TO THIS MONUMENT OF PERFUMERY, THIERRY WASSER HAS COMPOSED A NEW VERSION FOR WHICH: "IT WAS NECESSARY TO KEEP THAT ALCHEMY THAT MAKES IT SO DESIRABLE. TO ILLUMINATE WITHOUT DENYING, TO TRANSPOSE WITHOUT BETRAYING. TO IMAGINE THE FUTURE BY HONOURING THE PAST."
