Top note

Raspberry

In the top note, raspberry is as grainy as leather and as velvety as suede.

Heart note

Leather

A radiant leather with sparks of amber draws the heart note.

Base note

Ambrofix

Ambrofix infuses the fragrance with an intense woody and amber facet.

I work like a craftsman in the noble sense of the word, taking my inspiration from the most beautiful materials nature offers us. I assemble them step by step with care and precision; everything is thought out.

Christophe Raynaud

The Collection

Les Merveilles collection unites two of Jean Laporte's greatest loves, fragrance and travel. Conjuring dreamlike worlds steeped in perfumery's most precious and opulent ingredients, Christophe Raynaud tells a different tale with every concoction, drawing endless inspiration from sun-soaked memories, legends and fables.

Meet the perfumer

As Christophe Raynaud explored Morocco, he stumbled upon a leatherworker's workshop. He watched the craftsman work meticulously on a length of vibrant red leather as the air filled with its aroma; the contrast of the dimly lit room stark against the bright light outside. Struck by inspiration, Christophe was compelled to create a fragrance that explored this interplay between light and shadow. The bold duo in his mind was raspberry and leather.
