Courrèges launched Génération Courrèges in 1996 — and it was a brilliant move. A feminine fragrance rooted in the floral family. The nose behind this fragrance — Jean Pierre Bethouart. An eau de toilette — light-footed, but utterly unforgettable.
Made in France, backed by a long and proud tradition. Génération Courrèges — 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 scent of Génération Courrèges evolves as a layered story, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The style of Courrèges is clear from the opening to the final trail. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de toilette sets the right density and pace of development.
The olfactory framework rests on these accords: Gourmet, Floral, Fruit and Musc with each one in a clear role. Additional accords such as Wood add depth to the backdrop. The gender direction is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
Right at the start you meet vibrant berry opening notes: Blackcurrant, Lilac, Peach and Raspberry.
In the middle phase you meet Clove, Jasmine, Rose and Violet leaf carrying a opulent floral direction.
At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Fruit, Floral, Whiteflower and Green. It also reaches into Wood, Sweet, Earthy / Mossy and Musk. Within olfactory families the scent maps to Floral.
Taken together Génération Courrèges sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best experienced on skin.
