Porthos

Lavender Barrême, considered the finest of all lavenders, became all but extinct in the perfume world due to its high cost and scarcity. Now it returns as the key note in Porthos, a remarkable unisex scent at the edge of unsavoury.

This fragrance was Inspired by the wild adventures of Porthos (Baron du Vallon de Bracieux de Pierrefonds) from Alexandre Dumas's Three Musketeers, Porthos manages to be both refreshing and musky at the same time. It is powerful, eccentric and profoundly sweet through an excess of heliotrope which represents the French sun under which du Vallon lived and loved.

Florals are lightly added to give interest to the fragrance without imparting an overly feminine quality. Natural French rose, mimosa and jasmine blend perfectly with the longer lasting notes of patchouli and sandalwood. Porthos is a classic fragrance for the now; Porthos is style, swagger and verve.
