‘It’s early morning, the racecourse grass is still covered in dew. Seafs of hay to feed the horses. The jockey bridles his purebred horse and prepares for the race. Not far away, the sea. In port Deauville, bored turists, chilled to the bone, sip their coffees inside the bistro… And fishermen silently folding the nets after a good night’s catch.
The fragrance opens with a fresh and very natural topnote (pinkpepper Co2 extract Réunion), with green and aromatic accents (Clary Sage oil Grand Cru France – Saffron extract Grand Cru Cashmere India – Rosemary oil Morocco) that are paving the way for the addictive cuir & hay accord that will be at center of the stage. The hay (Hay ‘Crau’ ultrasound extract grand Cru France) develops warm and dusty feeling, with a tobaccoey sweetness, almost fermented, in a balance between the gourmand and the animalic territories. A touch of Jasmine sambac India is found in the very heart of the fragrance. In the drydown, the leathery accord is perfectly balanced with the opulent resinous combination of Benzoin resinoid Laos and Myrrh oil Somalia. ’ – Masque Milano
