Au Dela-Narcisse

2014
Eau de Parfum
Bruno Fazzolari 

Bruno: Au Delà - Narcisse is a classic white-floral chypre, made in the old-school way with genuine oakmoss and labdanum. The narcissus note is clear, fresh and unmistakable, and is supported by heavy doses of highest quality absolutes of Egyptian jasmine and French orange flower. We make this with a very rare and exquisite extraction of Narcissus, but this is no fading flower! The flowers are supported by a classic base, richly spicy, and resinous and with just the right amount of animalic purr. The proportion of these high quality natural floral absolutes is very high and the formula is far and away my most expensive.

Au Delà is French for "the beyond," and this perfume is inspired by the music of the French mystical composer, Olivier Messiaen who created luscious and intoxicatingly strange harmonies. The scent recalls bold vintage chypres perfumes and a time when fragrance was still bold, adventuresome and complex.

Dave: Creamy jasmine and orange flower with spicy, fresh narcissus and deep-green oakmoss. An elegant, re-imagined classic.
