Sample Sacre Bleu Perfume
 
Scent Family: Soliflore
The inspiration for my Sacré Bleu perfume is the marriage of sacred blue lotus absolute with divine hundred-year-old Mysore sandalwood oil. One of our most precious offerings, Sacré Bleu is luminous, honeyed, transcendent, and mesmerizing. The aroma of blue lotus is watery, but extremely complex and blissful with stone fruit and powdery floral facets. Truly legendary blue lotus was the most important scented plant in ancient Egypt. Rumored to have a psychotropic effect: this extraordinary aquatic plant played a prominent role in mythology and religion.

Over the last hundred years, this soft, sweet and woody Mysore sandalwood oil has aged, like a fine wine, into a smooth, sweet creamy woody aroma of profound richness and depth. Boronia plays a supporting role offering up a mouthwatering combination of aromatic raspberries, apricots, and freesia. Sacré Bleu dries down to the warmth of black tea wrapped around rare ambergris.

☞Character: watery, luminous, honeyed, transcendent, mesmerizing.

♫Fragrant Notes: antique sandalwood, blue lotus, ambergris, boronia, black tea, mimosa, beta ionone, methyl anthranilate

Mandy has been collecting rare and antique absolutes and oils for many years, and it's a joy to experience them in her formulae. The effect of such rare beauties cannot be overestimated: they are revelatory, illuminating parts of the brain which must have lain dormant for some time. One comes to believe in the holiness inherent in venerable antique Mysore sandalwood and the prohibitively costly blue lotus -- and why they were believed to possess mythical powers.

When first applied to the flesh, Sacre Bleu exhibits a sharp, honeyed aspect with notes of overripe apricot. Its aromatic companion boronia is no lightweight either: together they comprise a formidable couple steeped in erotic overtones. Ambergris invokes subtle aquatic characteristics, while ameliorating everything in its path: there are no current aroma chemicals which even come close to it. When one considers all the angles, it is apparent that Aftelier Sacre Bleu has earned its lofty status. Uniquely riveting in its own right, this fragrance is an homage to the hallowed.
