Estelle Badar

Estelle is a gourmand who plays with light and matter.
Sometimes very luminous and smooth like a sugared almond, thanks to a generous heliotrope which gives it this tender softness.
Sometimes darker and opulent, with a candied plum surrounded by different resins.
The honey-cistus duo gives a sensual and captivating dimension to this delicacy.
As for the base notes, they continue this play of chiaroscuro.
Sparkling vanilla, golden caramel and white musk contrast with woody notes, guaiac and cypriol.
Estelle is a gourmet journey between the East and the West...

A word from the perfumer: I wanted to create a perfume in homage to cistus labdanum, a material often present in perfumery but rarely in the foreground.
I imagine the smell of cistus oil as something golden and sweet, like honey. This is why I worked on this material like honey: sensual and delicious, to make an addictive perfume.
