Cologne Bigarade

In the world of fragrances, Cologne Bigarade Eau de Parfum represents a timeless and elegant reinvention of the classic Eau de Cologne. Its recipe, though seemingly simple, unveils a complex symphony of scents that is pure sophistication in a bottle. At its heart lies an overdose of refined bitter orange essence, known as "bigarade" in Provence, capturing the essence of sun-soaked citrus groves.

This vibrant citrus opening is artfully adorned with the subtle spices of cardamom and pink pepper, which adds layers of intrigue to its refreshing simplicity. As the fragrance unfolds, it finds its grounding in a woody base composed of hay and cedar, evoking a sense of clean, natural sophistication. Cologne Bigarade Eau de Parfum is a masterclass in minimalism, proving that sometimes, the most profound elegance can be found in the simplest of formulas. In its essence, Cologne Bigarade Eau de Parfum is like a breath of fresh Mediterranean air, capturing the vitality and charm of a sun-drenched orchard. And for those seeking an even more concentrated experience, there's Bigarade Concentrée, a richer and more intensified rendition of this timeless classic.

USAGE

• Frédéric Malle encourages individuals to apply perfume wherever they prefer, whether it's on their neck, under their wrist, or even their chest.
• However, he advises against layering scents, as Frédéric Malle's perfumes are meticulously crafted as individual olfactive works of art, meant to stand alone and apart from one another.

PERFUMER: JEAN-CLAUDE ELLENA

Throughout his extensive career, Jean-Claude consistently revisited the Eau de Cologne framework, always infusing it with his trademark precision and restraint. His approach to perfumery celebrates a tranquil, refined minimalism akin to chamber music in the realm of sound or a meticulously crafted watercolor sketch in the world of art. When Frédéric tasked him with reinventing the Eau de Cologne, Jean-Claude's response was brilliantly concise. He initiated the process by enlisting the expertise of LMR, a renowned laboratory in natural extraction, to create a distinct bitter orange oil, specially treated for exceptionally high concentration usage.
