Parfums DelRae Panache (2010): Le Mot de la Fin {New Fragrance}

San-Francisco based niche perfume house DelRae have introduced a new unisex fragrance called Panache inspired by the iconic character from Edmond de Rostand play Cyrano de Bergerac. Endowed with a magnificently glaring pif, it is tempting for a perfumier to pay homage to such a fabulous proboscis...

The name "panache" is the last word uttered by Cyrano before he expires.

The composition is co-signed by brand owner DelRae Roth and perfumer Yann Vasnier of Givaudan.

Top notes are ambrette seed absolute, baies roses co2 Orpur, bergamot Orpur, magnolia flower Orpur, rum extract. Heart notes are geranium Egypt orpur, ylang ylang orpur, jasmine absolute sambac, cardamom absolute, honeysuckle, orris butter, Haitian vetyver, cedarwood Atlas orpur, oakwood extract. Base notes are captive musks (Cosmone, Serenolide, Moxalone), olibanum Somalia orpur, golden amber, white honey.

Price: $150 for 50 ml.
