Sortilège 100 ml

Destructive floral

A concentrate of sophistication, expressed in an astonishing floral bouquet.

Main notes
Aldehydes - jasmine - ylang-ylang - sandalwood

The olfactory signature
Narcissus, which adds pride and mystery to hyper-femininity on the red carpet.

Description
The aldehydes elegantly introduce a multitude of flowers: ylang-ylang, jasmine, iris and rose gather with flair and bombast, resting atop a creamy bed of sandalwood, musk and warm, sensual patchouli.

Context
Paul Vacher created Sortilège in 1936 as a tribute to the extravagant parties of the roaring twenties. In 1950, the fragrance was used as the signature scent for the Stork Club, an exclusive New York nightclub. Marilyn Monroe and Ava Gardner became the prestigious ambassadresses of this great floral aldehyde, which exudes the House’s prized values of distinction and heightened femininity.

A word from our perfumer
“No single note overpowers this majestic bouquet, which features over 80 essences. It is rich, and proudly so.”
