2001: the world took its first breath of Clin d'Oeil Excentric Bourjois. By character, a feminine fragrance drawing from the floral and gourmet families. Clin d'Oeil Excentric is part of the Clin d'Oeil collection. Offered in eau de toilette concentration.
Country of origin — France. Clin d'Oeil Excentric Bourjois — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The note pyramid of Clin d'Oeil Excentric evolves as a continuous scent journey, where notes flow with precision and warmth. The style of Bourjois is evident in details that define the fragrance identity. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette emphasizes a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
The accord profile rests on these accords: Citrus, Gourmet, Floral and Musc without random overlap. The gender direction is feminine, which clarifies the composition character.
Right at the start you detect radiant lemon-bergamot opening notes: Citrus accord, Ginger and Grapefruit.
In the central layer you notice Iris, Lilac and Peony carrying a harmonious floral direction. In the final layer the line is anchored through musk, shaping a silky musky trail.
From the group perspective the profile is anchored in Citrus, Spicy, Sweet and Floral. The framework further includes Musk, Whiteflower, Drinks and Fairy. At family level the scent maps to Floral and Gourmet.
Taken together Clin d'Oeil Excentric reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the fragrances best understood on skin.
