Since 2021, Source Saint-Clair Joseph Duclos has never stopped surprising. A unisex fragrance from the wood, floral, and balsamic families. Perfumer Nathalie Feisthauer left a distinct mark on this composition. An eau de parfum — light-footed, but utterly unforgettable.
Country of origin — France, and that already says something about the quality. Source Saint-Clair Joseph Duclos unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.

A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate 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 olfactory structure of Source Saint-Clair is built as a layered story, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The signature of Joseph Duclos is evident in the way notes appear and fade. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum sets the depth and body this composition needs.
The profile is unisex, which clarifies the composition character.
Right at the start you catch fresh floral opening notes: Calabrian bergamot, Hedione, Heliotrope and Jasmine.
In the central layer you meet Cedar, Clove, Patchouli and Woody Accord holding a structural woody direction. In what remains on skin the composition is fixed through Ambrette, Ambroxan, Benzoin, Myrrh, Opopanax and Tonka bean, shaping a velvety incense trail.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Citrus, Floral, Whiteflower and Spicy. The framework further includes Wood, Green, Ambery and Balsamic. Within olfactory families the scent maps to Balsamic, Floral and Wood.
Overall Source Saint-Clair holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best understood on skin.
