Fragrance information:

The house of Franck Boclet gifted the world with Ashes in 2016. A unisex fragrance belonging to the amber, east, spicy, and wood families. Perfumer Franck Boclet poured every ounce of mastery into this one. By character, it falls into the ambery, balsamic, and green groups. The palette of this fragrance is exceptionally rich: traces of musk and wood can also be found — a rare combination that makes this perfume truly one of a kind. Released in eau de parfum.

The longevity is high — this one will stay with you for the long haul. Made in France. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.

Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The composition of Ashes evolves as a layered story, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of Franck Boclet is evident from the opening to the final trail. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum supports the depth and body this composition needs.

As soon as the fragrance opens you sense cardamom-peppery top notes: Clove and Wormwood. These 2 notes shape piquant dynamism that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.

In the heart you detect Atlas Cedar, Guaiac wood, Patchouli and Virginian Cedar keeping a velvety sandalwood direction.

The accord architecture rests on these accords: Balsamic, Musc, Wood and Amber forming a compact and readable structure. Additional accords such as Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read.

From the group perspective the profile is anchored in Ambery, Balsamic, Green and Musk. The palette also extends to Wood, Spicy and Gourmet.

Taken together Ashes sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best judged on skin.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)
4
Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage
Very conspicuous
5
Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
