Il Profvmo
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Melon's flesh bursts forth with unexpected fleshy sweetness, immediately tempered by bamboo's green, slightly powdery-clean snap—as though someone's just crushed a fresh stalk, releasing its pale, waxy interior. The effect is disorienting: fruity yet herbaceous, ripe yet austere.
The competing tensions soften into a unified floral gesture, with the unknown heart notes seemingly amplifying the composition's green, slightly bitter undercurrents. The melon recedes into a peripheral sweetness whilst the botanical elements dominate—this is where Coquelicot reveals its true character as a structural fragrance rather than a fruity indulgence.
Amber emerges as a subtle, creamy whisper against increasingly faint florality. The composition becomes sparse and skin-like, leaning towards gentle warmth rather than lingering projection—within hours, it's virtually vanished, leaving only a faint amber susurration and the ghost of greenery.
Coquelicot arrives as a peculiar collision between a greengrocer's display and a wildflower meadow—melon and bamboo leaf creating an unexpectedly verdant opening that feels almost vegetative in its freshness. There's something distinctly unpolished about this fragrance; it eschews the overripe sweetness typical of fruity florals, instead favouring a crisp, slightly waxy quality that the bamboo imparts—as though you're holding a fresh stalk between your fingers whilst surrounded by poppies in their full, fleeting bloom. The floral heart remains enigmatic (those unknown middle notes), yet the composition reads as genuinely botanical rather than perfume-counter sweet. What emerges is a scent for the unconventional dresser: someone who gravitates towards naturalistic fabrics, keeps wildflowers in mismatched vessels, and finds conventional beauty rather boring. This is a fragrance that whispers rather than announces, demanding proximity to be appreciated fully. The amber base provides gentle ballast—preventing the composition from drifting into skincare territory—though with minimal longevity, Coquelicot feels almost disposable, a fragrance to reapply throughout the day as though it were part of one's skincare ritual rather than a statement. It's oddly intimate in that way: a scent that refuses to project, insisting instead on being discovered only by those close enough to lean in.
