BIGARADE CONCENTREE
Aromatic citrus notes
Description
A perfume by Jean-Claude Ellena, BIGARADE CONCENTRÉE enhances the purity of a bitter orange essence obtained by molecular distillation.
This is simplicity in all its splendour. A reinvented eau de Cologne, formed around a bitter orange of exceptional quality - this essence, obtained by molecular distillation, reveals a cool and vibrant crystalline quality, along with a slight bitterness resembling the zest of the fruit. A jewel of lucidity that doesn’t need anything to dress it up: Jean-Claude Ellena has chosen pink peppercorns and cardamom to enhance its effervescence, with the elegance of cedar wood for a more lasting pleasure on your skin. A scent that is literally essential, naturally vibrant. For her, for him, anytime, anywhere.

The Perfumer
JEAN CLAUDE ELLENA
Jean-Claude has revisited the eau de cologne structure throughout his long career, always employing his signature precision and restraint. His style of perfumery is an ode to quiet, exquisite minimalism: if it were rendered into sound, it would be chamber music. If it were art, a precise watercolour sketch. And so when Frédéric asked him to reinvent the eau de cologne, Jean-Claude’s response was compellingly succinct. He began by commissioning LMR, a laboratory known for their world-class expertise in natural extraction, to develop a very specific ingredient: a bitter orange oil, specially treated so that it could be used at an extremely high concentration.
“For those who believe that seduction is found in cleanliness and perfection, here is a cologne designed to renew its wearer with every splash.”
Frédéric Malle
