‘A tribute to Alphée Dubois, Grand Prix de Rome winner, spiritual father of Spoturno and grandfather of his wife Yvonne, this fragrance evokes the happy years expressed in the memory of a cruise along the rocky coasts of Corsica towards the archipelago of the Sanguinaires Islands.’ – Spoturno
‘I wanted to recreate the atmosphere of the Alph River water, a fresh, mineral, and magical water with oriental citrus fruits and amber. Then I wanted this water to have reflections of Corsica, which I imagined with touches of myrtle leaves and juniper berries. The mineral side is brought by the myrtle leaves and Ambrofix, a molecule produced from clary sage that sent amber and mineral. Alphée is a refreshing, mineral fragrance where citrus fruits are accompanied by myrtle leaves and juniper berries, energized by touches of pink pepper, coriander, and nutmeg. Orange blossom and jasmine add a sunny sensuality.’ – Christophe Sheldrake
