From Jakub of PERseFUME:
Les Parfums Grands Crus creations are the olfactory tribute to the brand’s founder Armand Petitjean.
The new line consists of six scents in Eau de Parfum concentration: three Ouds (including relaunched L’Autre Ôud and Ôud Bouquet) and three brand new floral compositions.
All fragrances have been created by renowned contemporary perfumers such as Dominique Ropion, Olivier Gillotin, Shyamala Maisondieu, Fabrice Pellegrin, Ilias Ermenidis and Christophe Raynaud.
This new luxurious Maison Lancôme line highlights the art of Assemblage: very French art of fragrance blending in the Grand Cru manner.
The art of Flaconnage is equally important with bottles made of glass and gold designed by French artists Alex & Marine .
Each blend has been also interpreted with an illustration reproduced on a golden plate on the back of the bottle.
The Les Parfums Grands Crus line includes:
new Ôud Ambroisie – nose: Ilias Ermenidis
Delicious and divine rose nectar: gourmand woody floriental with animalic notes and wood triptych blend: oud essence extracted from 20-yrs old wood, Virginian cedar essence and smooth patchouli.
Those notes are carefully blended with honey rose, Damascena rose infusion and essence and Provence honey.
L’Autre Ôud (relaunched in new 100 ml bottle) – nose: Christophe Raynaud
Woody floriential: blend of 17 hand-picked raw materials recomposing bold and complex character of oud.
Dark rose, leather, myrrh, saffron, cypriol, frankincense and Damascena rose give this perfume special, unisex and nocturnal character
Ôud Bouquet (relaunched in new 100 ml bottle) – nose: Fabrice Pellegrin
Sensual and narcotic rose with spices. 20-year-old oud blended with smoky guaiac wood softened by the enveloping sweetness of Copahu wood.
The Praline Rose signature, Centifolia rose absolute, vanilla and a Praline Accord gives enigmatic and infinitely seductive power.
Three new innovative floral-gourmand compositions of the line are:
Tubéreuses Castane – nose: Shyamala Maisondieu
Elegant gourmand white floral with Tuberose Absolute harvested at nightfall and Tuberose Distillate.
Roasted chestnut accord and Venezuelan Tonka Bean add warm, yet not too sugary sensuality.
Jasmins Marzipane – nose: Dominique Ropion
Feminine blend of hand-picked Jasmine duo: radiant Sambac Jasmine Absolute and opulent, animalic Grandiflorum Jasmine Absolute is blended with the Almond Wood signature and Bourbon vanilla extract, together with Cashmeran wood, musks and creamy Sandalwood.
Lavandes Trianon – noses: Olivier Gillotin and Shyamala Maisondieu
Fresh, yet sensual gourmand, like skin in the sun: two types of Provencal Lavender: fresh essence and warm, sugary absolute combined with crystalized vanilla, Madagascar vanilla and gourmand, delicious crème brûlée accord.
Maison Lancôme Les Parfums Grands Crus will be available from September 2016 as Eaux de Parfum 100ml (180 EUR / 185 USD).
