Sunlight by Brocard £155.00

  • Key notes:
  • black pepper
  • caramel
  • cardamom
  • honeysuckle
  • mandarin
  • oak
  • orange blossom
  • sea salt
  • vanilla
  • Aromagroups:
  • citrusy
  • edible
  • floral

Sunlight was commissioned by Brocard to Bertrand Duchaufour. It is their first experiment in the luxury segment and an approach to perfume making as conceptual art.

To understand this perfume you need to go back to those physics lessons at school when they explained the nature of light. That light is actually a wave of particles, a flow of energy and that we can only discern the separate colors of natural light with a prism.

The second thing to consider before you approach Sunlight is to think how we experience light and sunlight in particular. We register it around us, we can tell if there is more of it or less around but it’s a phenomenon on the verge of comprehension and conscious perception and in the past the Sun and its manifestations were worshiped as source of life and something divine bestowed on us.

In Sunlight the perfumer used exotic spices, juicy citruses, Mediterranean flowers, some gourmand accords such as marron glace and benzoin resin. However, they all merge into an omnipresent uniform wave of particles around you which you can only perceive as a whole perfume, same way we perceive sunlight. The perfume is also as pleasant as warm rays of the Sun thanks to the subtle gourmand touch, sweet citruses and gentle flowers.

The choice of materials is not random, the sun brings orchards to life, sweet aromas attracting busy bees, the golden round citruses resemble mini Suns and precious benzoin resin represents warmth earth might exude when heated with sun rays.

The bottle deserves a separate mention, it's heavy crystal with exactly 57 facets, the same number you have in the classic diamond cut, the perfect number to capture light inside the stone and make it pulse within.

You can actually spin the bottle (the base has been cut in a special way) to admire the play of light inside the amber coloured tincture.

Perfumer: Alexandra Carlin

An ambery floral universe carefully put together with stunning night blooming flowers.

The formula features an accord of Galant de Nuit, also called night blooming jasmine (technically not a jasmine, but a plant closer related to potatoes). This gentle flower cannot be distilled, but its captivating fragrance has been recreated for Bloomastral with the help of a very specific jasmine variety. The perfumer used a particular jasmine which can only be harvested in Egypt within the space of two weeks in August. There is also a delicious, fruity and honeyed osmanthus theme. Finally, the oud oil adds extra mystery and darkness to the story.

Tsarina is part of the Four Corners of the Earth collection, and represents a romantic view of the Eastern lands known variously throughout history as Moscovia, the Russian empire, USSR, and now, Russia.

These fabled landscapes are the setting for Slavic folk tales about the cannibal witch Baba Yaga, the three headed dragons, and many brave maidens ruling over kingdoms. This region which is also the setting for beloved classic literature including War and Peace and Eugene Onegin.

Tsarina/Царица is an ancient title for a female ruler of these lands, whether imaginary or real. Tsarina the perfume has romantic references to fairy tales and the opulence of courts: delectable candied citruses, the waxy, melted candle-like nuance of sandalwood, and the fine leather/fur presence provided by orris and labdanum.

The elixir is also exceptionally concentrated, at 42% - hence the 'intensivo' in the title.

  • mandarin
  • oakmoss
  • Aromagroups:
  • aromatic
  • floral

May 1899, Foyer of the Opera-Comique, Paris

A dignified and refined celebration of masculinity, Boutonniere No7 opens with fresh aromatic notes of lavender, bergamot and a subtle note of mandarin.

During the intermission 7 men gather in the Grand Foyer seeking new flirtations and encounters. A heart of crisp and green gardenia is a nod to the considered gesture of a single gardenia bloom, worn in the boutonniere (buttonhole). Indolic tinged petals jasminoides (star jasmine) mingle with the gardenia blooms, heightened by an animalic note of genet (broom shrub) absolute.

Labdanum, oakmoss, vetiver and castoreum lend salty soapy facets that contradict the smooth polished gardenia.

A genteel bouquet.

Neroli, green galbanum, cypress and bergamot open, leading the way a heart of radiant orange blossom (a favourite of the Sun King), jasmine and subtly perfumed rose and clove water.
