Lorenox

Origins and uses

Lorenox is a synthetic material from Mane, the Grasse fragrance company: Mane writes it with the trademark symbol, Lorenox™, among the notes of compositions presented on its own website. The manufacturer publishes no descriptive sheet for the molecule: its chemical structure, olfactory profile and date of creation are not disclosed. Volute therefore sticks to what the houses say about it in their pyramids.

In the catalogue, it sits at the heart of Bouquet de Hongrie by BDK Parfums, composed by Serge Majoullier, a Mane perfumer: it accompanies Damask rose and jasmine sambac, between a top of pear, blackcurrant and strawberry and a base of musk, cedarwood and amber. It also appears in the base of Remarkable People by Etat Libre d'Orange, alongside labdanum and sandalwood, beneath a sparkling grapefruit spiced with curry.
