For Women
A rich tapestry of fruit, florals, and warm woods—Volupté opens with juicy melon, mandarin, mimosa, freesia and osmanthus for a bright, almost shimmering start. The heart unfolds into a lush bouquet of jasmine, peony, lotus, ylang-ylang, narcissus, carnation, heliotrope and lily-of-the-valley—romantic, powdery and full of depth. In its dry-down, sandalwood, amber, patchouli, tuberose, vanilla and incense bridge the florals into a creamy, smoky finish that lingers beautifully.

Scent Story
Volupté starts with succulent fruits and golden yellow blossoms—melon, mandarin and mimosa that sparkle with freshness. As it warms, the heart blooms into layered white and soft florals with ylang-ylang and heliotrope adding creaminess and narcissus giving green-floral edge, all softened by lily-of-the-valley. The base rounds it out with rich woods, amber and smoky incense on one hand, and sweet nudges of vanilla and tuberose on the other—balanced, luxurious, and long-lasting.
Wearability & Lifestyle
Perfect for spring and summer afternoons, or for special evenings when you want a romantic, powdery floral trail. Best suited for soft elegant outfits: lace, silk, pastels or creams. Can also transition into night wear when you want to evoke vintage glamour. Because of its complexity, a light application is often enough to enjoy its full beauty without overwhelming.
