Our 004 opens on a gin note imparted by juniper berry, a zesty cold spice that gives our cologne its vigor and modernity. Our perfumer, chose to pair it with a cocktail of citrus fruits where Italian lemon, bergamot and mandarin resonate with sun-drenched vitality. A heartwarming hint of nutmeg helps to transition from the heart notes to the base of Indonesian patchouli, which brings warmth to this icy, sparkling cocktail with its earthy, mossy notes of smoked wood. Lastly, tobacco, tonka bean and white musks temper our cologne and give it staying power – enough to awaken the mixologist within you.

NOTES: Italian lemon, bergamot, mandarin, juniper berries, ginger, nutmeg, tobacco, tonka beans, Indonesian Patchouli, white musks.

What is a “gin” note?

Gin is a type of liquor obtained by flavouring ethyl alcohol with juniper berries, the only spice to be produced by a conifer. The essential oil contained in these very aromatic fruits has a fragrance and taste that combine woody, fresh, balsamic and floral notes. The result is a full-bodied fragrance, gentle and slightly sweet with a spicy hint of pepper. Gin is used as a base for many mixed drinks. Here, Karine used an overdose of juniper berries to lend this cocktail of citrus fruits its gin aspect.
