Lost in Paris

Lost in Paris in detail

Lost in Paris is signed by Roja Dove, who tells a Parisian memory: leaving a party at Le Meurice, then stumbling on a street crêpe stall on an icy night, between grand luxury and the pleasures of the street. The house files it among its gourmands, as Volute does.

The official pyramid opens with blood orange, bitter orange, mandarin, rum and Grand Marnier, the orange liqueur the house names as such. The heart gathers caramelised sugar, a butter accord and a caramel accord. The base pairs pink pepper, cinnamon, clove, cedarwood, cashmere wood, vanilla, ambergris and musk.

Lost in Paris suits autumn and winter, mostly in the evening. It evokes a crêpe Suzette: oranges caramelised in butter, doused in liqueur, then warmed with spices.

Three gourmands in our catalogue come close: Lira by Xerjoff shares blood orange, cinnamon and caramel; Sugar Addict by Born To Stand Out brings back sugar, rum and cinnamon; Enigma Pour Homme, from the same house as Lost in Paris, also pairs vanilla with ambergris.
