No. I · Eau de Parfum
Ombre
The memory of a fire that burned out before you arrived.
Smoke · Vetiver · Cold Stone
The Composition
Ombre was the first perfume the house ever sealed, in 1947, and it has not been touched since. It was composed for the hour after a room empties — when the candles are out, the stone walls give back their cold, and the smoke has settled into wool and hair. It is not a dark perfume. It is what darkness smells like when you are no longer afraid of it.
Tête
Top notesPink pepper · Cade smoke
A struck match, immediately regretted. The pepper flares and is gone inside ten minutes.
Cœur
Heart notesHaitian vetiver · Cypress
The green dark of a hedge at dusk. Vetiver cut with cypress so it reads cold rather than earthy.
Fond
Base notesMineral accord · Labdanum · Ash
Cold stone is not a poetry — it is an accord the house has kept secret for eighty years.
The Ritual
Worn closest to the skin — one trace at the base of the throat. Ombre does not project; it waits to be discovered.
