Perfume information

Description of the composition

Note Pyramid Lumière Noire pour Femme

The top notes open with a spicy and bright chord of caraway, red pepper (chili) and rose, creating an intriguing and energetic start that immediately captures attention.

At the heart of the fragrance, a tender and melancholic narcissus unfolds, adding floral depth and softness that mellows the initial spiciness.

The base concludes with warm and earthy patchouli, which provides longevity and a captivating finish, leaving behind a subtle woody trail.

This composition masterfully balances between spiciness, florality, and woody notes, offering a dynamic development on the skin where each phase smoothly transitions into the next.

By exploring this pyramid, you will feel how the fragrance evolves from a sharp start to a tender heart and a cozy base, creating a multifaceted and memorable experience.

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
Medium (2 to 5 hours)

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

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.
