CHINA AFFAIR
Inspired by Chanel's Coromandel EDP
A fragrance that captures the feeling of exquisite, exotic enchantment. CHINA AFFAIR is our interpretation of a scent that is both mysterious and sophisticated. This oriental woody fragrance opens with a luminous burst of bitter orange and mixed citruses, a bright introduction that gives way to a deep, complex heart.
The core of this composition is a plush, polished patchouli, rendered smooth and resonant. This is not a dirty, earthy patchouli, but one that is refined by powdery orris root and a classic floral bouquet of rose and jasmine. As the scent settles, an unexpected and beautiful ribbon of white chocolate emerges, creating a subtle gourmand whisper. This white chocolate scent is wrapped in the warmth of balsamic benzoin and dignified incense, leaving a lasting trail of pure, understated opulence.

The Experience
A definitive oriental woody perfume that masterfully balances gourmand sweetness with classic oriental depth. This complex contrast makes for a truly seasonless unisex fragrance; its resinous warmth cuts through the winter chill, while the citrus-floral lift is perfectly suited for warmer months. Formulated at an Extrait de Parfum concentration, this long-lasting aftershave is office-appropriate yet memorable enough for any evening event.
