Eau Triple Makassar

This profoundly Oriental fragrance unfolds in a veritable ode to irises, revealing powdery and woody notes leavened by the warmth of amber and sumptuous resins, and hints of blond tobacco and cardamom. Eau Triple Makassar is a living paradox, its subdued elegance counterpointed by a singular force for a crescendo effect on the skin.  

In this Eau Triple, the iris, flower of kings, one of the most precious cultivars in the world, exhales a sensual sillage that develops over time, akin to a fruity violet. Leathery cade, intense Virginia cedar and exotic resins from South-East Asia bring balance to the ensemble.

The fragrance bears the print of the mysterious city of Macassar, in Indonesia, an atmosphere full of the mysteries depicted in epic tales in shadow plays called Wayang, “shadow” or “imagination” in Javanese. Eau Triple Makassar’s scents evolve, like so many gracious wooden puppets - warriors, princesses or goddesses of Love - playing out Indian sagas from the Ramanaya or Mahbharata, when everything seems by turns intense or languid, in the still watches of the night between midnight and dawn.

Crafted in the Officine’s laboratory vials, this water-based perfume is both gentle for the skin and powerful enough that it leaves a nicely balanced sillage. A technical feat that took two years to design before it reached perfection.  

The Eaux Triples are miscible in a unique, exclusive aqueous solution.

Alcohol and ethanol-free, these fragrances instantly and powerfully incarnate the Officine’s mesmerizing scents. 

From a blow dealt with a parang, the red sap from the jungle wood oozes from the cut and overwhelms the soul. The dark, black-veined scent nestled in the lush undergrowth of the Celebes, on the slopes of tropical mountains traversed by creeping vines and pythons. Blowing from the horizon, warm winds and their powdery trail barely brush the surface and shake the forest of sails of the lambos, the twilight air blue with tobacco and burnt incense.

Gently shake the Eau Triple flacon before vaporising to revive the water emulsion. Its alcohol-free formulation may also entice you to perfume your bare skin or scent your hair.

Do not spray in the eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with clean water.
