"A counterpoint to tradition." Jean-Claude Ellena

Written by Jean-Claude Ellena as an interpretation to act as a counterpoint to cologne style, Eau de gentiane blanche revisits the theme of freshness with spirit as well as delicacy. Complex and sophisticated gentian reveals its different facets – sometimes bitter, sometimes smooth – in an elegant vapour of white musks that achieve sweetness without facile sugariness, giving the gentian a completely original olfactory counterpoint.
