Shalimar: the history of the first amber fragrance

The year 1939 gave us Courage Bourjois. This is a feminine fragrance rooted in the spicy, east, and floral families. The author of this composition is Constantin Weriguine, and that explains a lot. Offered in perfume extract concentration.
Behind this fragrance stands France and its rich perfumery heritage. Courage Bourjois unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
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 rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The scent of Courage evolves as a cohesive olfactory arc, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Bourjois is clear from the opening to the final trail. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Perfume extract keeps the right density and pace of development.
From the group perspective the profile is anchored in Floral, Gourmet, Whiteflower and Spicy. From a family perspective the composition sits in East, Floral and Spicy.
When the pyramid is blended into one block the opening appears as one connected movement with a inspiring floral mood: Clove. In this case 1 note acts as one voice, creating romantic softness that feels seamless.
The inner phases are felt as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
The accord profile is built around these accords: Floral without random overlap. The gender direction is feminine, which clarifies the composition character.
Taken together Courage sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the fragrances best experienced on skin.
