Source Fontélie Joseph Duclos — a 2021 fragrance that needs no introduction. This is a unisex fragrance rooted in the east, fruit, and floral families. Perfumer Nathalie Feisthauer is the author behind this composition. The fragrance is presented as eau de parfum.
Produced in France, where perfumery has long been elevated to an art form. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
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 composition of Source Fontélie is shaped as a cohesive olfactory arc, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The signature of Joseph Duclos is recognizable from the opening to the final trail. Nothing here feels random, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum emphasizes the depth and body this composition needs.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Citrus, Fruit, Spicy and Floral. The palette also extends to Sweet, Whiteflower, Wood and Gourmet. From a family perspective the scent maps to East, Floral and Fruit.
In the top tier you catch radiant lemon-bergamot first notes: Calabrian bergamot, Peach and Saffron. These 3 notes shape sunny vitality that anchors the first impression immediately.
In the heart you sense Geranium, Honey, Jasmine and Rose keeping a harmonious floral direction. In the base the line is anchored through Nagarmotha and Oud, shaping a earthy woody-resinous trail.
The gender direction is unisex, which clarifies the composition character.
Taken together Source Fontélie holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the heart develops the core line, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best experienced in wear.
