A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Blackcurrant and pear burst first, creating a bracing, slightly herbal freshness with strawberry threading through as a softer, candy-like undertone. The immediate effect is cool, juicy, almost effervescent—like biting into ripe fruit with a hint of green stem still attached.
The florals emerge subtly, with Turkish rose absolute bringing unexpected peppery complexity and jasmine providing creamy depth without overwhelming the composition. Lorenox elevates everything, preventing the floral heart from settling into predictable sweetness whilst the blackcurrant maintains its cool, slightly tart presence underneath.
Cedar takes prominence, bringing a dry, almost woody pencil-shaving quality that's pleasantly austere, whilst musk establishes an intimate, skin-like base and amber adds measured warmth. What remains is remarkably restrained—a barely-there floral-woody whisper that clings close to the skin rather than projecting, demanding proximity to fully appreciate.
Bouquet de Hongrie arrives as a deceptively delicate proposition that conceals genuine complexity beneath its fruity opening. Serge Majoullier has constructed something genuinely torn between restraint and abundance—a fragrance that whispers rather than announces, yet rewards close attention with intricate layering.
The initial impression is distinctly cool and tart: blackcurrant and pear create a slightly green, almost juicy freshness, whilst strawberry adds a subtle candy-like warmth that prevents the composition from becoming austere. This isn't fruity in a gourmand sense; it's the smell of orchard fruit at dawn, slightly damp, with an almost herbaceous edge.
