Haute Cologne
Jean-Michel Duriez
Jean-Michel Duriez, master perfumer is the nose of the house. Former nose at Patou and Rochas, he also created fragrances for Dolce & Gabbana and Lacoste.
He signs the seven CRay compositions with a unique signature. At the heart of each fragrance runs a single accord made of —
- Maté with its powerful, herbaceous facets
- Osmanthus, a Chinese flower with a sweet, apricot fragrance and a base note elegantly reminiscent of leather.
- Oak moss that features accents of forest and undergrowth, especially evocative of the forests in the Limousin region of France
- The essence of juniper, a burnt wood recalls the scents of leather and chimney fire.
Four ingredients that compose the perfumes, in varying doses, sometimes as a watermark, sometimes more asserted. It is the unique signature one recognises from one fragrance to the next. This accord bears a name: Fleur de Cuir. It finds its full expression in the perfume Cuir de Fleur — which can be worn alone, or laid upon another fragrance of the house to extend its hold.
