Discover Épices Exquises - a composition that evokes an enchanting sensory journey. Inspired by the spicy aroma of coffee with a cardamom flavor, Thierry Wasser beautifully highlights the contrasts of precious spices in an aromatic chiaroscuro that stimulates the senses. Cardamom reveals its joyful, elegant, fresh face in the company of warm, full and sensual base notes tinged with black pepper and woody notes of agarwood, patchouli and sandalwood.
“With Épices Exquises, I wanted to recreate the surprising scent of the incredibly spicy coffee with cardamom that I drink every time I visit the Middle East. The unique blend of spices in this coffee fills my memory with wonderfully contrasting sensations. The accents of cardamom in the top notes mingle with the warm, peppery, sensual notes of the base. It is an intoxicating scent.” Thierry Wasser, Guerlain Master Perfumer
