Doux Ennui opens with a radiant, delectable introduction that evokes the splendor of the French court — true luxury to wear. The freshness of mandarin blends with the velvety sweetness of apricot jam in a refined, ironic homage to the legendary brioches that made Marie Antoinette famous. The exotic note of ylang-ylang lends an initial touch of sensuality, like an unexpected caress upon the velvet of Versailles.
At its heart, the fragrance becomes more intense and seductive: a ripe, juicy peach melts into the creaminess of salted butter, conjuring the carefree indulgence of an era that adored extravagance. Ylang-ylang returns, deeper this time, enriching the composition with aristocratic nuances.
In the base, a precious accord of osmanthus, vanilla, benzoin, amber, and musk creates a long-lasting and irresistible olfactory signature — one that dances between innocence and transgression, just like the queen who inspired it.
