Obscuratio in detail
L'Artisan Parfumeur, the Paris house founded in 1976 by Jean Laporte, entrusted Daphné Bugey with its La Botanique collection. Obscuratio, number 25 in the series, starts from ylang-ylang from Nosy Be, in Madagascar; the house files it among both its florals and its woody scents.
The house publishes three key ingredients, without sorting them into stages. Sunny, creamy, slightly spicy ylang-ylang is at its centre. Earthy, dark patchouli darkens it, as its Latin-sounding name suggests. Round, soft vanilla wraps it. Three materials only, chosen for their contrast.
Obscuratio is worn in the evening, in autumn and winter. It is a nocturnal white flower, deeper than a beach-style ylang-ylang, for lovers of sensual florals. It suits a dinner or an evening out.
Three florals in our catalogue share its materials: 51 Pour Femme by Roja Parfums brings together ylang-ylang, patchouli and vanilla; 1804 George Sand by Histoires de Parfums and Accento Viola by Sospiro pair patchouli and vanilla.
