Frédéric Malle and Maurice Roucel created an interesting project, although Roucel himself claims that Malle was not just an "editor" but actually the perfumer of this fragrance. Roucel is known for his ability to work with overdoses, and in "Dans Tes Bras" he used a full 25% cashmeran - a material with a musky-woody scent. Cashmeran itself is quite complex; in its aroma, you can detect not only musky and woody notes but also floral, powdery, coniferous, and even bodily nuances. All the work was aimed at highlighting the desired qualities of this material. As a result, violet appeared in the fragrance, emphasizing the powdery facet of cashmeran, while salicylates enhance its musky and bodily notes, adding green nuances that highlight the woody-coniferous component At first, I couldn't connect with this fragrance. It seemed strange and even a bit outdated to me. Honestly, I hadn't encountered anything like it at that time. But true love came to me when I reread Oscar Wilde's "De Profundis." At that moment, Dans Tes Bras became one of my favorite fragrances from the brand, as I saw in it a reflection of Wilde's image - a genius with his aesthetic splendor and sophistication Who is Dans Tes Bras suitable for? Probably for lovers of unusual musky compositions and violet fragrances in a classic, even vintage style. But this is just a stylization, created from modern materials and speaking a language understandable to the modern consumer. The sillage and longevity of the fragrance are simply astonishing. It's perfect for both everyday use and an evening out. Despite its impressive characteristics, it sounds elegant, subtle, and, yes, expensive
