‘For this new interpretation, Julien Rasquinet chose to elevate the aldehydes by giving them a creamier, more enveloping texture.Timur pepper adds a sparkling vibration and contemporary radiance, while the floral heart evolves into a more refined and powderier expression, built around the timeless elegance of iris. The floral animality that defined the original composition is transformed into a softer, muskier sensuality, evoking the feel of a luxurious fur coat against the skin. Remaining faithful to the spirit of Sortilège, Julien Rasquinet preserves the fragrance’s unique tension between dazzling aldehydes and unapologetic animality. He also infuses it with his own olfactive signature—rich in power and depth—creating an intense, captivating, and addictive trail worthy of the legendary aura of Paul Vacher’s original Sortilège. Created by Julien Rasquinet in 2026, Sortilège L’ESSENCE reinterprets Paul Vacher’s legendary 1936 Sortilège, preserving its unique tension between dazzling aldehydes and animalic sensuality while bringing it into the present day.’ – La Galion Parfums
